Fairmont Washington DC, Georgetown

We’ve stayed at many Fairmont Hotels across the US and Canada, and found this one while seriously lacking in amenities, had impeccable service. We found it odd that the only place to have dinner was a lobby lounge. The menu was lacking in variety seating was not comfortable for dining. The rooms were furnished with less than comfortable chairs. The bed was great however very high. The bathroom was very standard And the toilet seat was loose, the shower curtain was loose as well. Probably the strangest thing was the thermostat was governed not to go over 72. I would think at $500 a night we could be trusted to turn the temp where we wanted it. However as I said the service was impeccable from the breakfast/lunch room, to the check in, the concierge, bell desk, and administration. All staff were so helpful and professional so that’s why no gave it a 4. But the amenities, pool, and restaurant options were lacking. Great location and immaculate.

While in town for a wedding, we had a lovely three night stay at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington DC! Upon entering the welcoming lobby, we were warmly greeted by the front desk staff, who were efficient and very friendly. Our room was spacious and very nice, with a really comfortable bed. I also used the adjoining gym, which was large and well equipped, and ate breakfast in the hotel restaurant. The house made granola is not to be missed! In fact, our server told us that the honey in the granola was made by bees which were kept on the roof of the hotel. Everything was great, but I really wanted to point out what took our stay to another level... the service. Everyone, from the front desk, housekeeping, restaurant staff, and concierge were very professional and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thanks for a great stay... I would definitely return to the Fairmont on my next trip to DC.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Four Night stay at this magnificent hotel. From the we arrived the staff were attentive, friendly and efficient. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The Hotel and Restaurant were also very good. The Hotel is in a great location with walking Access to Bars and Restaurants. The many sights of the City are also easily accessoble

The hotel was fine but we ordered 2 Lobster Roll sandwiches for $34 each and there was very very little lobster involved. Less then 2 oz per sandwich for sure We had Lobster Roll sandwiches many times elsewhere that cost under $20 that literally had 4 times as much lobster First time in many many stays at the Fairmont that they really disappointed

Asthmatics/MCS and allergy sufferers - BEWARE! Overpowering strong scent in lobby that has made me sick from the moment we arrived. My husband asked if it could be toned down but that was a negative reply. On researching I found that it’s Fairmont’s signature scent, manufactured for them in conjunction with another company Not all the USA Fairmont locations use it, it’s by choice. I’m allergic to just about every ingredient in it. In today’s age, it’s beyond my understanding why they’d pick such a strong scent, rather than something very subtle. It is nauseating and can actually be smelled when sitting outside in Juniper, their restaurant, when the door is opened and you’re well over 6 feet away. I have not been able to sit in the lobby and during a hot and humid few September days, spending so much to stay here for a vacation, this is not hitting us well. One size does not fit all. Fairmont should know this when it comes to people’s health concerns. Other luxury hotels use much subtler scents that aren’t even noticeable. It’s our first time treating ourselves to such a luxury as staying in a Fairmont hotel. Unfortunately it will be our last because of their insensitive choices. I hope this review helps others who suffer with these health issues to avoid going through this. A waste of money - actually paying to suffer on vacation. Not happy.
