Things to Do in Dupont Circle

Explore our neighborhood

Much like Lyle, it’s often said that Dupont Circle ‘offers a little something for everyone’. Our beloved neighborhood offers a cool blend of historic homes, vibrant attractions and unique shops in the heart of Washington, D.C.

It’s an area where everyone belongs, and everyone can feel at home. Find a few of our favorite spots for exploration below, nestled near our luxury boutique hotel.

Kramer's Bookstore

Kramer's Bookstore has been something of an institution for Dupont Circle since it opened in the neighborhood in 1976. A brilliant independent bookstore offering a creative and carefully curated selection of titles.

Dupont Circle Farmers Market

The FRESHFARM Dupont Circle Market takes place every Sunday from 8.30am until 1.30pm. We'd always advise arriving as early as possible - and don't forget to say hello to the team from Lyle's who're there every week!
