The Hay-Adams

Excellent experience. The hotel itself is old but beautifully designed and maintained and very grand, and the location is key. Close to the monuments and the museums. Very clean. The best part is the staff and service. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and professional and could not do more to make guests feel at home and welcome. Alfredo, especially was so nice and helpful!

Wonderful hotel in a great location. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was very good and we loved the bar in the basement. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

I travel quite a bit and stay in hotels all over the country. Staying at the Hay-Adams was more than I normally spend at a hotel but WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE. The staff was phenomenal ! We ordered coffee and breakfast for room service a few days we were there and it was delicious and took only minutes. We ordered it the first day and my wife said I think I hear someone coming down the hall (it was early) and said it is room service. I said that is impossible. A knock on the door and they wheeled in our breakfast. Took about 10 minutes. The entire experience was incredible. I try to stay at difference hotels but I will definitely make the Hay Adams my go to hotel when I am DC.

The Hay-Adams is THE place to stay when visiting Washington DC. Located opposite the White House, this hotel has old world charm, fantastic location and attentive staff - especially Liv. I have stayed there a number of times and would not even contemplate staying anywhere else when visiting the capital.

Prepare to be thoroughly impressed—even if you’re a discerning traveler with high expectations. Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff set a new standard for professionalism and warmth, going above and beyond to anticipate our every need. Every detail, from check-in to check-out, was handled with impeccable care, making us feel genuinely valued at every turn. If you’re seeking a flawless experience where your comfort and satisfaction are the top priority, look no further. This hotel and its exceptionally trained team will delight even the most particular guest. Highly recommended!
