Frommer's Review
The location of this fabulously posh hotel is in a government-building neighborhood, a few blocks from the National Mall. By day, the location is convenient; at night, not at all. These streets are dark, not meant for strolling; and there's nothing to do.
Never mind. Once you're ensconced inside the Mandarin, you may have no inclination to leave. Hotel decor richly combines Asian and American traditions. Each guest room is laid out in accordance with the principles of Feng shui, and furnishings include replica pieces from the Smithsonian's collections and handmade silk tapestries. Sensuously beautiful Fili D'Oro linens rest on the thick-mattressed beds. The service is sublime.
Rather than roam the neighborhood, you may enjoy rambling around the hotel's terraces of landscaped gardens, taking in views of the Tidal Basin and marina, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Virginia skyline. Guest rooms offer these same views. The hotel's renowned CityZen restaurant, world-class spa, fitness center, and indoor pool offer more reasons to stay put.
Facilities: 2 restaurants (Modern American, Asian-influenced cafe cuisine); 2 bars; heated indoor pool in spa; fully equipped fitness center; 10,400-sq.-ft. full-service spa; 24-hr. concierge; business center w/full Internet access; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 20 rooms for those w/limited mobility.
