The Jefferson, Washington DC

Love the Jefferson. First class service all the way around. Beautiful hotel. Great restaurant too. Great for business.

The Jefferson is clean, well-staffed, generally pretty in an old-world sort of way, including a very beautiful sky-lit central restaurant, and an elegant library, which is probably especially nice in the winter. We appreciated the cold water offered at the door and both make-up and turn-down services, the latter of which included a fresh bucket of ice. And the bed was comfortable, as were the robes and slippers. Even though the breakfast area did not open until 8 AM, there was fresh coffee available in the library by 5:30. It is very surprising, however, that a hotel of this calibre does not feature a Nespresso maker, or any kind of coffee maker, in the room. I've been to many hotels in the last two years, and coffee in the room has become expected. The decor was also a little run down. For example, the leather foot board of the bed was torn in many places. Surprising as well was that the mini-bar did not feature any wine --just hard alcohol and pre-mixed cocktails. And there were no utensils.

Excellent hotel; staff, and location All staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Best concierge ever in Paul Levermore and Cynese at checkin was especially helpful. We were treated like old friends and we hope to visit again soon.

Hospitality from the staff and manager was absolutely outstanding, warm welcoming and yet very professional. The rooms are always with a feeling of fresh and details a full of attention

We enjoy the Jefferson and have stayed there previously. The check in was easy, the staff impeccable with their assistance, and the hotel is flawless. The nightly fee for parking a car there was over our budget so we took an Uber from the airport. Our room was on the small side this time, and when I inquired about the square footage being different on the website, I was advised it was including the bathroom in the specs. I wish I had known to ask ahead of our stay for the room with the seating bench at the end of the King Size bed since my husband and I have enjoyed room service in this manner as a gift to ourselves after a long flight. We spent several nights at the Jefferson in May 2025, and the bed was comfortable with luxurious linens. We rested well. I gave the hotel a 5 star review, nearly a 4 star instead, due to discovering after our check-out that we were charged extra for two items from the mini-bar that we did not use. I was assured they would be credited to our account, but it took a second call for the refund to actually occur. I was advised the mini bar has a weight sensor in it, so if something is taken out there will be a charge incurred. I let the staff member know that we used the refrigerator of the mini bar to keep eft-overs cold, but consumed nothing from the bar. If you decide to stay there, you may want to be aware of this easy-to-overlook-overcharge. A great stay overall, and highly recommend for location, walkability to sights, cleanliness, service, and comfort. The gift of a bottled water upon arrival is a delicious touch of class. Thanks to all of the staff, they are amazing.
