This hotel is such a gem! I love their historical style and charming environment, it is very elegant and truly authentic. The rooms are so well kept! Its central location is probably very convenient also for tourists who are visiting, for us it's the best place in DC for a corporate stopover. A big thanks to Atsuko and also to the reception team for their wonderful hospitality. The avocado toast for breakfast at the restaurant Lafayette and the cheese platter for dinner at Off the Record have been my culinary highlights here. It's my 4th time at this place and I love returning once a year.

I choose to celebrate my 50th Birthday with the man I love at the Hay Adams. We had a wonderful stay. The staff made the memory so much more memorable. The room was clean, very comfortable and the view was the best!! There was a UFC event going on at the White House which made things a little different in the area and the staff rolled with it instead of complaining. They kept a positive happy vibe going and that’s exactly what I wanted!! We’ll be back!

If you’re going to DC this hotel not only gives you easy access to the sights but is a historic monument itself which adds to the experience. The staff is next level in customer service & works hard to insure your comfort.

We enjoyed an excellent experience at the hotel. The room was spacious and very clean as was the bathroom. We had a lovely view from our room The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. We would especially like to express our gratitude to Sean, the doorman, who on a very busy weekend made it easy for us to access both Ubers and taxis to get to the many events we needed to attend. My only recommendation would be that on Friday and Saturday evenings it would be optimum if the bar would extend service to midnight and that food service there would continue to at least 11 o’clock. However, the bar staff was very gracious in recommending Old Ebbitts Grill , a few blocks away, that would accommodate us.
