During fall-spring semesters Friday nights after WPS COSMOS lectures, you'll find over a handful of DC phD intellect it-crowd thinkers steep in scotch & passion sci-philosophy debates in the rear bar .

Over the top service in a very traditionally elegant hotel that makes you feel like Frank Underwood.

They exceed your expectations every time. Ask for something once & it will be handled and taken care of on all future visits. My DC hotel on every visit if possible.

Great place to stay. Awesome customer service. Rooms: extremely nice and very comfortable and homy.

Ornate crown molding and glossy black wood-herringbone floors add luxe notes—there are even velvet footstools for your handbag , while the firelit rear chamber feels like a cocoon of privacy.

Travel + Leisure

The renovated hotel pays luxurious homage to the president with Monticello-inspired design (parquet floors; toile de Jouy drapery ).

Best shrimp cocktail I've had in YEARS. The horseradish crème fraiche , cocktail sauce makes all the difference.
