About us
Rooted in Irish heritage and shaped by the creativity, culture and community of Washington, D.C., The Dupont Circle offers an experience that moves to cosmopolitan rhythm yet remains unmistakably local—giving guests an authentic taste of the city. It’s a hotel for travelers who want to feel the city, not just see it. Just beyond our doors, the capital unfolds with world-class museums, renowned theaters, historic landmarks, and a culinary scene as diverse and dynamic as D.C. itself. Inside, every comfort is thoughtfully curated, every detail intentionally designed, and every gesture infused with the warmth and generosity of our Irish spirit. Echoing Washington’s golden age, the hotel’s contemporary design nods to mid-century glamour—think ice-cold martinis, confident style and the kind of effortless sophistication that defines both the city and The Dupont Circle.

Jake Of Spades
Multi-city
Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create.
|
However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic.
Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY.
|
Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans."
|
This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic.

If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
