Overview

by Lissa Poirot

This historic five-star hotel is located next to the White House with outstanding Washington, D.C., views. Originally built in 1902 the boutique hotel feels like a luxury residence with 21 suites and 145 guestrooms. Suites range in size from 550 to 1,800 square feet and provide separate living and dining areas. Junior suites are studio-style suites with a king bed and sitting area, but additional suites feature separate bedrooms. Traditional rooms provide a king or two double beds. All rooms are outfitted with 55-inch flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth speaker, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Guests may borrow DVD players and movies, board games and iPads from the front desk. Onsite dining is available in The Lafayette, which provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.

Well appointed room, attentive service

by BobN06

Only stayed for one night but would easily consider returning on my next visit to DC. The rooms, although in an older hotel, were very well appointed. The staff - from the reception desk to the concierge to the doorman - were all incredibly helpful and attentive. Rooms were amazingly quiet for a hotel. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Room with a view? Maybe!

They claim the only thing they overlook is the White House but they of course cannot always deliver. I think their ad gimmick is deceiving. I was given a room on the 8th floor and did not have much of a view. Just another office building.
