"A gorgeous hotel just steps away from the White House, the Hay-Adams boasts exquisite guestrooms, unbeatable views and an unforgettable bar."

If you’re looking for the quintessential Washington D.C. experience, you won’t find a better hotel than the Hay-Adams. Nor will you be able to find a stay closer to the White House, given that this Lafayette Square hotel used to be part of the White House’s grounds. Views of the president's residence, suffice it to say, are unparalleled from the Hay-Adams, but the landmark-filled vistas are just the beginning of the hotel's appeal. Luxurious and elegant, the historic hotel offers regal guestrooms, fantastic suites and excellent dining options – complete with a people-watching scene that’s hard to beat.

Within the stately hotel, 145 guest rooms (including 21 suites) hearken back to the region's colonial roots. The accommodations’ eye-catching design is rich and timeless, with not a detail overlooked: expect to be properly dazzled by sumptuous fabrics, ornamental ceilings and gorgeous marble bathrooms. Rooms themselves are set in soft, dreamy shades of cream and coffee, and elegant...   Show more

The accommodations’ eye-catching design is rich and timeless, with not a detail overlooked: expect to be properly dazzled by sumptuous fabrics, ornamental ceilings and gorgeous marble bathrooms. Rooms themselves are set in soft, dreamy shades of cream and coffee, and elegant touches like colour-coordinated fresh flowers are abundant throughout. You’ll want to book one of the lucky rooms in which French doors open onto private balconies – what better place to enjoy your morning coffee than in the fresh air with views of the Washington Monument? If you’re splurging, it’s well worth upgrading to one of the swoon-worthy suites, which come with a laundry list of perks including spa-like bathrooms, gas-lit fireplaces and White House views.

Even with the impressive array of dining options you’ll find within walking distance, the hotel's Lafayette restaurant still manages to set itself apart. Here, in a dining room directly overlooking both the White House and Lafayette Square itself, the restaurant serves upscale, beautifully prepared modern American cuisine that is undoubtedly some of the best in town. This restaurant is not to be missed, and you’ll undoubtedly want to go back for a second or third time. It’s a good thing, then, that Sunday brunch at Lafayette is particularly sublime. Off The Record – which is consistently lauded as one of the world’s best hotel bars – is known by locals as the “best place to be seen and not heard” in town. Populated by a glittery crowd of D.C.’s elite, the gorgeous bar is an alluring place for a cocktail (or two) whenever the mood strikes.
