Frommer's Review

The Sofitel, like the Hay-Adams Hotel, borders Lafayette Square and is just minutes from the White House.

This early-20th-century building's distinctive facade includes decorative bronze corner panels, bas-relief sculptural panels at ground-floor level, and a decorative 12th-floor balcony. Inside, hotel staff dressed in designer uniforms greet you with "Bonjour!" -- a hint that the French company Accor Hotels owns the Sofitel. Noted French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon styled the interior; the hotel's restaurant, Ici, serves French bistro fare.

Because of the corner location and exceptionally large windows, guest rooms are bright with natural light, and second- and third-floor rooms facing 15th or H street boast windows that extend nearly from floor to ceiling. Each room sports elegantly modern decor that includes a long desk, plasma-screen TV, creamy duvet on a king-size bed (about 17 rooms have two double beds), a much-marbled bathroom, fresh flowers, and original artwork.

Facilities: Restaurant (bistro chic); bar; 24-hr. state-of-the-art fitness center; 24-hr. concierge; 24-hr. business services; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; library w/books about D.C. and Paris; 8 rooms for those w/limited mobility, all w/roll-in showers.
