Sofitel Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C. Review

The Sofitel 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 an ornate 12th-floor balcony. Inside, hotel staff dressed in designer uniforms greet you with "Bonjour!" -- a hint that the French company Accor Hotels manages the Sofitel.

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. Rooms average 350 square feet in size, each furnished with a long desk, plasma-screen TV, creamy duvet on a king-size bed (17 have two double beds), a marbled bathroom, and original artwork. The hotel's ICI Urban Bistro restaurant and Le Bar lounge are popular gathering spots, especially in pleasant weather, when urbanistas jam ICI's terrace tables. Recycling and water conservation programs are among the Sofitel's ecofriendly practices. The Sofitel is a nonsmoking property.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; concierge; state-of-the-art fitness center; library w/books about D.C. and Paris; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
