The Mansion on O Street

My family (2 parents are four 18-21 year old kids) loved the Secret Door Tour in the Mansion On O Street. We found 12 doors (including two tiny doors)! It was a fun evening. The museum pieces were interesting. Our group was most impressed with the incredible bathrooms that some of the bedrooms have. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We highly recommend looking for the secret doors in O Museum.

This is truly a one-of-a-kind place to visit. It is a giant mansion absolutely covered with knickknacks and artwork and oddities. It’s also a working hotel. For a very expensive entry fee ($40!!!!!!), you can explore this amazing space. Some of my favorite areas were the John Lennon room and the amazing collection of guitars. There are also 70 hidden doors and passages and closets - on any given visit most people only find 10 or so (we found 14). This was really fun, but the cost makes it a judgment call of whether you want to go or not. They also had a very expensive bag check and bar.

We weren’t quite sure what to expect from our stay here. But we were blown away by the entire experience! We enjoyed learning each facet of the museum and our accommodations were most comfortable. The area is perfect for exploring Washington DC. H and Ted are absolutely gracious hosts and we appreciated the time they gave to us without expectation. We had a blast exploring after dark once the museum was closed to the public. We will look forward to returning again!

This was the most interesting and fun place to wander through!!! We had so much fun trying to find the hidden doors. This place is unique and fun with every room having a collection from floor to ceiling. There is so much to see make sure that you take your time and spend hours enjoying it.

We discovered this museum through friends and were not disappointed. It is truly amazing. We were overwhelmed by the amount of interesting and unique artifacts scattered throughout the mansion. We were told about the hidden doors throughout the 100+ rooms within the mansion and were proud of the fact we found over 10 of these doors which led to numerous rooms to check out and explore. Can't wait to go back to discover more rooms and see the interesting artifacts. AMAZING place!

I got there later in the day than I should have and you should give this place a few hours to take in. The scope of the situation, each room, floor, hall and passageway is unique to experience. There is a bar, a courtyard and patio area, all of which I will enjoy longer when I return.

I visited the Mansion on O Street with friends to take the hidden doors tour and loved the experience! The mansion has been beautifully restored and every room is filled chock-a-block with art, antiques, books and celebrity memorabilia in every category. It was so much fun moving through the labyrinth of rooms taking in the contents while, at the same time, trying to locate the hidden doors that often led to secret passages to another room with yet another story or theme. This would be a great family activity or even a unique first date that would surely be memorable snd oitstanding. The host and volunteer docents were most welcoming and attentive.

Is the Mansion On O Street a hotel or is it a museum? It is a dual personality facility as an American luxury boutique hotel and also a unique museum housed in the Dupont Circle District of Washington. This mega mansion contains 100 rooms, 70 secret doors, legendary room and a bevy of unusual exhibits. I got a rush from the John Lennon room, an ode to Bob Dylan's guitar and remnants of Prince's Purple Rain ensemble. I'm a rocker, so music memorabilia is my forte, but i did browse through other unique attractions. I was enthralled with my one bedroom suite, behind a hidden door, an eclectic Victorian spectacle, heavy furniture, packed with artworks and quirky novelties......wow. So, if you are looking for a hotel to be explored like no other hotel............then try the .........Mansion On O Street.............one of the grooviest places in DC.

This amazing location is a marvel of History, Art, Music and Memorabilia. It is a museum of amazing items, collections,curios, knick-knacks, etc...all housed inside a functioning hotel. If you are not intrigued yet let's add the fact that there are over 70 hidden doors. HIDDEN DOORS?!?! These were amazing. Every room is overstuffed with incredible things to see and touch (and buy if you are interested). For me the best attraction was trying to find hidden doors. My wife and I found 17. For a first visit that is considered amazing. We were inside for almost 4 hours and it was a fantastic journey. We did find Tinker Bell by the way so good luck, she's there.
