The Hay-Adams

From the moment we entered the Hay-Adams hotel we were greeted with the warmest, most welcoming team. Check-in was flawless and we were able to access our room quite early. Sandor ( who was excellent btw) at the Concierge desk worked diligently and was able to secure us same day passes to the US Capitol, upon our request. Valet/Door men were always gracious and willing to assist with whatever we needed. Breakfast was FANTASTIC, food, service all superb and something we looked forward to each morning. Our room was beautifully appointed and exceptionally clean. The speakeasy bar downstairs Off the Record, was a terrific end to our day. Even though it is quite the spot and is crowded, the servers and bartenders work hard to find you a seat and take care of you while you are waiting. Food was also great. If you are looking for a boutique type hotel with incredible service, charm and the most wonderful location in D.C. - look no more - just book it!

Simply the best, most elegant hotel in Washington and maybe anywhere. Everyone on the staff knows your name and is so helpful!

The hotel, of course, is an amazing representation of our nation's history in addition to having rooms with added luxury. However, it is the people that make this hotel a true gem when visiting DC. From the moment you enter, you are looked after in every possible way. A huge shout-out to the conceirge team, who consistently went way about and beyond, in helping us arrange visits to the Capitol. The food was incredible and Denish, their florist provided an amazing beautiful flower arrangement for my Dad's funeral. Thank you so much!

The Hay-Adams delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. The team was incredibly professional, attentive, and thoughtful in every detail of our event. From planning through execution, communication was seamless and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. What stood out most was the team’s flexibility and care; they handled last-minute adjustments with ease and professionalism. A special thank you to Isabella and the events team for their partnership — we truly appreciated the level of attention and hospitality. I would not hesitate to host another event here and highly recommend the Hay-Adams for anyone looking for a first-class experience in Washington.

This was one of the nicest hotels we've stayed out. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted and most times by name. The service was impeccable. The room was amazing. I worked with the Concierge, Franziska before we arrived. She was amazing to work with. She planned our transportation to/from airport, private tours and food reservations. Her recommendations were amazing and all turned out perfect with no issues. We will definitely stay here again when we return to DC.
