This is a review of the Gold floor, which is essentially a home away from home. The staff makes it very special; they know me by name when I check in. The rooms are large and quiet. The food in the concierge lounge is very good and plentiful. I usually eat that instead of having breakfast in the restaurant. At... More

We loved this hotel! Everything about this hotel exudes class. Beautifully decorated, extremely service-oriented and warm staff, and the rooms were very comfortable and posh! This was our first family trip in D.C. so we wanted something classy, moderately priced, and in great area of D.C. This fits the bill! The rooms were nicely furnished and the bathrooms were very...

I had the pleasure of staying two nights for an on-site business meeting. Wow, I wish every business meeting I travel for was held at this hotel. Service was outstanding from the moment I stepped out of the taxi. The room was beautiful and well-appointed. One of the things I dread when staying at a hotel is the typical awful... More

I stayed overnight at the Fairmount for a business meeting and wished I could have moved in! The hotel is beautifully furnished, elegant without being fussy, and well equipped for both business and pleasure visits. Besides the luxe touches that have become almost standard, like comfy beds and robes and abundant desk outlets, the Fairmount includes details that other hotels... More

I stayed here two nights on business in a standard room with a king bed. The hotel is less than a 10 minute walk from the Foggy Bottom Metro station, which is conveniently located on the Blue Line coming straight from DCA. Check-in was pleasant, friendly, and efficient. I was here for a meeting and found that the conference facilities... More

I was in DC and a little hesitant to stay this far off the mall. The hotel is very close to Georgetown- not really walkable to the sites of Washington. However, it is still in a great area with access to trails, shopping- anything you need. DC is a tough market because hotels are always very expensive. You can easily... More

From the time you approach the door and are treated by the doorman, to passing someone in the hall you are made to feel like your worth a million. Very clean, nicely decorated, great location! Couldn't have done better! Even a Kerig in the room! More

Stayed at the Fairmont for one night this weekend, as I was in town just to meet up with a friend from the West Coast. After a long day of driving, it was soooo soothing to pull up to our tried and true favorite Washington DC hotel. Everything about the place is lovely (as it should be, given the prices).... More

My husband and I decided to take a weekend trip to DC. We stayed at this hotel and are so glad we did. It was decorated so beautiful for Christmas. The staff was very warm and helpful upon check-in. Our room was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed hot cider in the bar area on Saturday night while listening to... More

The Fairmont group of hotels has been our "Home away from Home" for many years. Our recent trip to the Washington Hotel further reinforced the high standards that make it a joy to stay there. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful and went out of there way to make our 3 nights memorable. In particular, Jawad... More
