"The Kimpton Banneker Hotel is blessed with a memorable location; from 16th St. NW there’s a direct view of the White House. But the Banneker isn’t one for neoclassical kitsch, nor for Parisian pomp. The prevailing mood is a modernist-inspired minimalism, and the artworks avoid historical subjects; the real culture of D.C. is African-American, and not only is the Banneker named after a Black astronomer and mathematician, but its art collection heavily features Black artists as well." - Tablet Hotels
