The story of Hotel Monaco Washington DC is History.

Hotel Monaco Washington DC doesn't just aim to make history, we are history! A simple visit to a historical landmark pales in comparison - during your stay, you'll be living inside of one. The hotel occupies what was once Washington DC's General Post Office, built in 1839 by Robert Mills, the same architect to design the Washington Monument. Samuel Morse broadcast his first telegram from here, the ballroom once served as a make-shift hospital during WWI, and Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech from this very building.
