Washington is one of the hidden gems of the Carolina coast. A picture postcard kind of town seated along the banks of the Pamlico River. So the Ell Hotel fits in quite nicely.
The Ell Hotel is located in a century old house complete with a rocking chair front porch just minutes from downtown. The Ell just opened this past Summer and is already receiving rave reviews from visitors – us included. Walk into the two story foyer and the reason for all the positive buzz is clear. The owner of the property, Ellen Brabo, has managed to keep the historic charm of the house while updating it with a sense of whimsy and comfort fitting today’s traveler. Visitors can check in on the push pin world map guest book. There’s a photo wall where you can snap the perfect selfie for your socials. There are quiet spaces for reading, a beautiful garden. Beyond the shared living spaces, four private guest rooms await your arrival. Each is decorated in a different color and style –incorporating local art, fresh flowers –elements designed to make your stay feel curated and luxurious. But be careful, you may not want to leave.
