Frommer's Review

This classic D.C. hotel is boutique in size and grand in sophisticated ambience. It consistently wins awards such as its "Most Excellent Service in the Americas" rating by Condé Nast Johansens in 2008. Famous for its great views and proximity to the White House, the hotel's first-floor dining room and guest rooms on the sixth through eighth floors on the H Street side of the hotel overlook Lafayette Square, the White House, and the Washington Monument. Rooms facing 16th Street overlook the 1815 St. John's Episcopal Church, known as the "church of the presidents."

Built in the 1920s, the hotel's original, ornate plaster moldings, ornamental fireplaces, walnut-paneled lobby, and high-ceilings are still in place. Guest rooms present an elegant decor of sage green, off-white, beige, and gold toile fabrics; custom European linens; and marble bathrooms with brass fixtures.

The hotel has about 14 one-bedroom suites and seven junior suites. Stop in at the Off the Record bar for a drink and the chance of spying a big name in the media or administration.

Facilities: Restaurant (American); bar; access to local health club ($15 per day); 24-hr. concierge; complimentary morning car service; secretarial and business services; complimentary 24-hr. business center; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 9 rooms for those w/limited mobility, 3 w/roll-in showers.
