Just back from three nights at The Jefferson over MLKJr weekend. Check-in was very personal, my suite was comfortable and spacious, dining at The Greenhouse was enjoyable, and drinks at Quill were fun. Above all, the service is the reason I have stayed at this Washington classic more often than not when in town. I can't say enough good things about the friendly and professional staff. Everyone is eager to help with any issue or need. The hotel is elegant, intimate, pleasant, and spotless - in short, the perfect stay.

My family’s four-night stay was excellent. From Ryan and the team at front desk, the gentlemen who greet you at front door, dining and room service staff, concierge Omar and others. Everyone was courteous and responded to questions on sites to see with kids, Metro and walking directions and tips on holiday attractions. Missed elegant Greenhouse since was with younger kids though meals from Quill allowed us to eat in privacy with a toddler in Cabinet rooms. Gym in basement fits bill for vacation workouts and is clean with punching bag and free weight dumbbells to keep fit. And Deluxe Suite room offers comfortable sofa bed for kids and excellent king bed for parents. As well soaking tub, shower and TV within mirror are excellent.

There is no other place I want to stay in DC. My mom and I took a weekend trip and loved every aspect of the property from arrival with the staff to cocktails at Quill, brunch and dinner at the Greenhouse and the room and location. This past weekend had nicer weather for December, so we were able to walk from the hotel to the African American Museum, White House and other monuments.

Beautiful facility, very well maintained. 15 min walk to DuPont and White House. Staff 100% very friendly, courteous, attentive and helpful. Very good breakfast at the Greenhouse restaurant. Bartenders were friendly, excellent selection at the Quill bar. Would definitely stay again.

I travel extensively and I would rate the Jefferson among the very best hotels in the world! The service was exceptional across the board and the location is in the heart of the action in D.C.. My suite was a private and cozy oasis with a comfortable sitting room parlor and deep soaking tub. The Quill Bar is a delight with outstanding cocktails, tasty bites, top-notch service and an intimate atmosphere. Mike the bartender makes a delicious martini and the Quill burger and oysters are a must. The Jefferson makes every guest feel special and every aspect of my experience was exceptional. I did not want to leave and cannot wait to return! The Jefferson is my go-to in D.C.!
