Ahhh...I'm currently writing this review at the hotel. I wish I did not have to leave the Helix. I have traveled a lot and stayed in many hotels but this is one of the most unique hotels by far. The decor is very modern, bright, and upbeat. I love the fact that the king size bed is in it's own alcove and that it is hidden by lime green drapes. Other perks include: cheetah bathrobes, free Aveda products, daily newspaper, and free wireless Internet. Wholefoods is 2 block away, the White House is 6 blks, and shopping is an 8 minute walk. I am definitely going to stay here again. My only gripe is valet overnight parking is $27 a day (gasp!!!). Money Saving Tip: Regular room rates are about $300 a night but I booked on expedia.com and paid about a 1/3 of that.
