Reviews for The Jefferson, Washington DC
One of our favorite hotels in the world!
This was (I believe) our fourth stay the DC Jefferson. The rooms are beautiful, and more important to us, the friendly, prompt, and courteous service is fantastic. We are always greeted by EVERYONE with a welcoming smile. I actually threw a birthday party for my wife earlier this year and Golnaz was extraordinarily helpful and accommodating. We'll be back next year!

Definitely a 5-star experience at The Jefferson
Our stay at The Jefferson was exceptional in every way, from the moment we were welcomed by the front door staff, to registration, to lunch in The Quill and throughout our entire 2-night stay. The decor and its adherence to the Jefferson-era style was as warming and comfortable as it was educational (we took the time to peruse the photos and documents lining many of the walls), and the entire hotel including our room, the two restaurants and bar that we went to and the library were clean and polished. Loved that there was complimentary morning coffee and tea in the library and iced tea in the afternoon! We had twice-daily housekeeping, which was very welcome especially at the end of the evening. We also loved our breakfast in the beautiful Greenhouse. It was also a great location, literally steps from the main reason for our visit, the new National Geographic Museum of Exploration. Our mini-vacation was definitely a 5-star experience!

Wedding Stay
My wife and I stayed at the Jefferson for our wedding this past weekend and I can't say enough great things about our experience. The staff was attentive, responsive, and really thought of everything that we needed. One of the managers, Ryan, stood out as well. He was communicative, thoughtful, and accommodating all weekend. Beyond that the hotel was beautiful and the team allowed us take a few wedding photos throughout the building which we loved. We highly recommend The Jefferson and we are looking forward to our next stay there in the future.
