The surrounding neighborhood
The LINE DC hotel is located in the vibrant, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood of Adams Morgan, an enclave in northwest D.C. It’s about one and a half miles north of the White House and four miles north of the U.S. Capitol.
As our hotel’s website says, “This isn’t the D.C. of monuments and men in suits.” Restaurants, art, charming row houses, and nightlife are just steps away from the hotel. You can find a list of some of our hotel’s favorite establishments here.
