The Jefferson, Washington DC

This is a family owned bouquet hotel that we enjoyed very much during our stay. It’s smaller, 99 rooms, has a great bar, 9 original signed documents from Thomas Jefferson, great restaurant, very personalized and professional service. Its very quiet and low key, classical and elegant decorations with modern amenities. It’s a great value compared to other “5” star hotels. This place is what we consider a true 5 star hotel. It’s a totally different experience than the other quote 5 star hotels in the area that are corporate owned with high employee turnover. This is family owned and many of the employees are long tenured employees who care and treat guests as family. The daily parking rate is about half as much as the other 5 star hotels in the city. If you’re looking for a louder electric bolder hotel full of pretentious, people and staff that don’t care then take this one off your list but if you want to be treated like family by a family owned five star hotel, then look no further than the Jefferson. We will definitely come back every time we’re in the city. This hotel is also the most awarded hotel in the city, and that is irrefutable.

My sister and I spent the weekend here May 15-17. We had a superb time here. The service was perfect, the ambiance terrific and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and special. My sister left her designer sunglasses by mistake on a table and Eden (the breakfast hostess) saw them and returned them to my sister. Kevin Lauter, the food and beverage manager, was excellent and gave us great advice and much needed help with Chat GPT!

Beautiful old hotel that is refurbished, clean and nice. They offer workout room a really good restaurant and doorman are very accommodating. I loved our housekeeper. She was very nice and helpful. We are returning and rebooked. Highly recommend

By far our favorite hotel in DC. This was our second stay there and it was as perfect as the first. The hotel has a boutique feel but all the amenities of a larger hotel. You never feel overrun by lots of guests or tourists - which is the case in some of the larger five star DC hotels. We love the restaurant - beautifully appointed with a fabulous breakfast. Most of all - the service is fantastic - from the bellmen to the front desk staff to the waiters - everyone there went out of their way to make for a perfect visit.

Charming hotel and very friendly staff especially during check-in. My one and only complaint is how noisy my stay was. I highly recommend asking for a room far away from the house-keeping closet space because they are constantly in and out and shutting doors at all hours of the day. The doors to the rooms need to be sealed better but I understand it's an older hotel.
