My stay at the hotel was exceptional! The rooms were absolutely beautiful, decorated with royal blue velvet and stunning chandeliers. While they were spacious and comfortable, I felt there could have been more amenities considering it is a five-star property. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch, from the friendly guest liaisons to the attentive bar staff. The location was superb, with the hotel boasting gorgeous furniture and a great bar area. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious options and attentive service. The facilities were fantastic overall.

The location couldn't have been better for me. I could see the Capitol building in one direction and the National Mall/White House area in the other. Everything I needed was within walking distance, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city.

The dining experience was simply outstanding. The options, especially the Candied 'Clothesline' Bacon, Oysters Rock, and the banana-Nutella stuffed French Toast, were excellent. I especially enjoyed the decadent dinner held in the lobby lounge.

Staying at this magnificent property was a true luxury experience. The rooms were super spacious with beautiful decor, Italian Carrara marble, and very comfortable beds, making us feel like royalty. The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to make us feel special. However, the busy location and lobby could be a bit overwhelming at times.
