Inspired by a dear Frill Seeker friends weekend galavant to DC, I wanted to take a minute and revisit the Helix Lounge. Enter Kimpton’s adorable Hotel Helix, swing a right and you’ve found yourself in the middle of a mod paradise. Cozy plump couches with throw pillows galore, shining colorful lights coming at your from every flattering direction, and funky drinks adorned with fruit gummys and glistening ice, this is as New York- or as 1960’s- as you’re gunna get in the Capitol.

This chic bar should also be your first stop for people watching, with models and let-loose politico’s alike taking a snack break beyond Andy Warhol inspired pop prints and space age seating. This bar is slightly overpriced, even coming from a New Yorker’s perspective, but the fun is totally not to be missed. Of course, coming from the hit company over at Kimpton, what else is new?

Tip: Do not leave without a Pajama Party.
