There are few things I enjoy more than a rooftop on a beautiful night. The Dupont’s Embassy Row Hotel couldn’t have picked a better evening to unveil their rooftop terrace this past week.

After just wrapping up an event around the corner, I headed over to meet my friends John and Kyle for an event I had been looking forward to since receiving the invitation. Dupont Circle’s only rooftop partnered with One Hope Wine to create a memorable opening event. In addition to One Hope Wine and cocktails being offered on the main level, there was a smaller gin and tonic bar on the lower level of the rooftop. Our bartender introduced us to Chronic Tonic, which is not yet sold to the public but hopefully soon will be. Green Hat gin was the pairing, and made for some incredible drinks to wrap up the evening.

The rooftop offers plenty of areas to relax with your cocktails or enjoy sun rays by the pool. As I saw the sun sinking to the West, I realized that the Embassy Row Hotel had just opened one of the most romantic destinations in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.

As soon as Al gets back to the area in August, I’ll be taking her over so she can experience the view. If the evening hadn’t already been made, receiving a bottle of sparkling wine from One Hope as a party favor capped it off.

Cheers!
