I switched my reservation to the Yotel Hotel, located across the street from the Hyatt. It was sold out previously, but they added another block of rooms.
I'd stayed there before when it was under different management, but not since it's been a Yotel. 

Already have my room booked and plan to be at MAL.  I look forward to seeing everyone there.

There used to be the Palomar in Dupont but it's no longer a Kimpton. I'm not sure about other Kimptons in the area.
As @Derrick mentions there is The George within a block of MAL. I've stayed there and liked it. I'm booked there for this trip.

I went to luncheon 4 years ago 
I stayed at kimpton george
found it good.  It’s a fairly small property 

Hope to attend.  Definite maybe for me but strongly leaning to come there. May invite a guest
 

I've declined, as I don't think it will be possible. However, if the Great Reopening happens earlier than expected I'll reconsider. At this stage, available air fares are still 'unrealistic', although that would change if travel restrictions from here ease. Have a great time, guys!
