This post is in partnership with Avenue Suites and Modus Hotels and I was gifted a complimentary stay in their Avenue Executive Room + Private Terrace. This in no way alters my thoughts of the hotel and as always, all opinions stated are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies that support The Espresso Edition.
Avenue Suites made it easy to decide where I wanted to escape with my husband for his birthday. Their location in the heart of Georgetown was the perfect place for a romantic getaway.
Since Brandon was the primary reason for our stay, I decided to get his input on our trip and share a little bit about why we enjoyed Avenue Suites from his point of view. The first thing he mentioned was the staff and how incredible they were. From the cheerful front desk crew, to the valet attendant, to the bartender at the restaurant, and even the employee who called our room late in the evening to ensure we were comfortable. Everyone was incredibly accommodating and helpful from the moment we drove up until the time of check-out.
The next thing he noticed was the decor. From the bright lobby with high ceilings and a cozy sitting area filled with fun coffee table books to the photographs of celebrities from all eras on the walls. We noticed captures of George Clooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Cate Blanchett, and more! It was a modern interior that was still comfortable and inviting. The best part was how open everything felt – like there was space for everyone who came through the doors.
I’ve stayed at my fair share of hotels. However, I’ve never stayed in a hotel that I enjoyed so much, I didn’t want to leave the room. That’s what happened when we visited Avenue Suites! After a couple hours of exploring Georgetown and all the shops, we walked back to our room just for the sake of relaxing on their comfy bed, indulging in some snacks*, and watching TV.
There are some incredible features to experience when you visit Avenue Suites.
One of the benefits of staying at a Modus Hotels property is their Modus Signatures. These include things like allowing pets to stay free, setting you up with complimentary fitness classes, and a program called “Stock the Fridge” (A.K.A. one of our favorite parts). *Stock the Fridge is a customized grocery program, where you choose your favorite items from Trader Joe’s, and one of the staff members goes shopping for you and quite literally stocks your mini fridge with goodies! So when we came back to our suite, there were brownies and ice cream, a cheese plate, breakfast burritos, and more awaiting us!
I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the private terrace adjacent to our spacious suite. Take a walk through the living room area and open the French doors to enter the magical outdoor patio, ensconced by tall, manicured hedges and decorated with colorful rugs, several comfy sitting spaces, and a table practically made for late-night picnics. We had every intention of setting up my laptop outside to watch a movie later after dinner, but the bed was far too comfy!
Speaking of dinner: our experience at the in-house restaurant, La Piazza, was hands down the best part of our stay at Avenue Suites. My husband and I are in complete agreement over this. We started with wine, gobbled up one of the most delicious pizzas of our life (fennel sausage and pepperoni), and somehow even made room for their Campobasso sandwich (we’re talking mortadella, prosciutto, muffuletta, and more). In the morning, Brandon immediately got up and grabbed cappuccinos for us, and I spent an hour or so savoring the delicious beverage.
Truthfully, I could keep going about how incredible our stay was at Avenue Suites, but really I just want to prod you to book a visit to experience the magic for yourself. In fact, they’ve been kind enough to provide a discount code for my readers, and if you book through my link (just click on anywhere in this post that reads “Avenue Suites“) you’ll receive 15% off your stay.
What an awesome hotel! I really love that they have pet-friendly rooms. Did you say delicious pizza?! Love it when hotels have really good restaurants!

It was the perfect place for an overnight trip with my husband! I loved that they offered a comfortable place for pets to stay (for free) – and girl, YES, the pizza was on another level! I’d go back just for the restaurant alone, it was that spectacular!
Ok first of all these photos of you two are SO cute!! I love that fun patio they have – perfect for a summer vacay!
Ahh thank you so much! We had such a great time that every single photo was just us genuinely enjoying each other’s company, which I love! And YES! Their patio is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing!
Such a beautiful hotel! Love all the pops of color!
It was the perfect amount of color. Not overwhelming, but enough to draw the eye in an alluring fashion. We loved it!
Would really like to visit here next time we are in DC to take in a Nats Game!
I really hope you get a chance to stay here. You’d love the comfy beds and the bright atmosphere + the delish food at La Piazza!
Y’all are too cute!!! This hotel looks so freaking welcoming!!! I also love how spacey the room looks. Also that terrace is amazing!
It was SUPER spacious – which we loved. The floor plan was just perfect and the terrace outside was just the icing on the cake!
What a great article. That suite like awesome and you two look so adorable together. Thanks for sharing this!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It was such a special time together, and we really enjoyed writing up our thoughts about this fun, mini vacation!
What a great birthday gift!! Time together in a gorgeous spot like that must have been one of the best gifts ever!

You’re right about that! They treated us like royalty, and we are still raving about it! I honestly hope we get a chance to visit again soon, because it was super memorable!

The blue couch and those purple outdoor chairs are so fun!
This looks like such a nice place to stay! I’m thinking of doing something similar for my husband for his birthday since he’s been talking about wanting to do a staycation in the city for a while. I’ll have to check this out if we’re ever able to head up there!
This sounds like an amazing place to stay babe! Can’t believe they have a Stock the fridge program!! That is so awesome! Might have to stay there just for that 😛

That program was an excellent addition. I’d never heard of any hotel offering something like that, and we certainly took advantage (some late night snacks in bed after drinks at the restaurant? Yes please)!!

You should definitely do something like that. It’s so special to just get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy time TOGETHER. You’ll love that!
I love this! The hotel looks so cozy and I LOVE their stock the fridge program. That would be one of my favorite things, especially if I was traveling for work!
Cozy is for sure – but spacious too, which is a winning combination, if you ask me! We loved the option to order our food, and when we came back from exploring Georgetown, there was a full fridge waiting for us. It was awesome!
