Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Impeccable service day and night by the staff, and outstanding lodging. Gym a trifle small, but with fine machines. Highly convenient location.

Friendly & welcoming with very comfortable room. The bar & restaurant had good food, excellent drinks menu and charming service. Handy location for both my meetings and the White House. Certainly happy to come back again.

From the moment Jerusalem began checking me in until the time I checked out, my experience at the Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square was excellent. I dined at the hotel restaurant both nights of my stay and highly recommend the mushroom risotto and the half chicken—both were genuinely memorable. The cocktail bar is top-notch, and the bartenders made the best pisco sour I’ve ever had. Every member of the staff I encountered was extraordinarily pleasant and attentive. I was upgraded to a larger room facing the street, yet the soundproofing was so good that I never heard traffic. The blackout drapes were excellent, keeping the room dark and quiet for sleeping, and—blessedly—the thermostat actually allowed the room to cool to 65 degrees, which made for a truly comfortable night’s sleep. Five out of five. I will absolutely stay here again.

Juan Pablo Rodriguez at the the front desk, took this hotel and elevated to the premier hotel it is. The kindness and accommodability of the staff went above and beyond your wildest expectations. It is truly a hotel that makes working with the White House and surrounding areas a breeze. You are steps away from the White House and the hotel lends itself to private meetings and Teams meetings.

This is not a luxury hotel. Sofitel should be embarrassed to have their name on this hotel. The rooms are old, dirty and our bed sagged in the middle. They never refreshed our coffee, toilet paper or water, had to call down for it. The restaurant and bar closes at 10:00 pm and there are no there options lime a gift shop to purchase food and beverage.
