Hotel's location is very strategic. Service is good. Massive and well maintained fitness facility (i.e. not just a typical small room with limited equipment facility) The room that I am staying at in May 2012 seems to have been renovated recently and so it felt rather new and fresh (e.g. Flat TV). When I stayed here in 2010, the room... More

I was recently in Washington DC for a business trip and every hotel in the city was booked, except The Fairmount. I chose the hotel literally because it was the only place with rooms. When I arrived I was very pleased with my choice. Service was prompt, the room spatious and clean. I had noisy neighbors one evening, but it... More

We were in Washington D.C. in April 2012 for a few days vacation. We were fortunate enough to get an upgrade of a room at the Fairmont. It is a modern hotel with an historic feel. The lounge in the lobby is a great spot for a night cap and a quick bite of some locally produced food. The Juniper... More

First trip to DC, perfect place to stay!. The staff is hospitable, friendly and exceptional customer service. The lobby bar is wonderful, feels like you've come home after a long day of sightseeing. Three blocks to the metro and easy walking distance to many restaurants in Georgetown. We'd like to say "Thank You' to the following employees, Jawed, the lobby... More

My room was very nice; the lobby is beautiful; the location is great (only 4 blocks from Georgetown). My only complaint is that most hotels of this class (and price) offer free water in the room, and sometimes also have complimentary computers to check email, etc... More

I visited this hotel on business for 2.5 days. I travel rather often globally and have to say that the customer facing staff is ideal. Everything that you would expect from the Fairmont brand. The maid service was absolutely spectacular. I would like to specially call out Jean in banquets as being a key team member. He was wonderful and... More

My wife and I stayed in room 435 with windows facing the Park Hyatt on 24th St NW. The room was absolutely quiet and the view was generally nice for the 4th floor. The hotel location is really good since it's about a 3/4 of a mile walk to the White House and another 3/4 of a mile walk in... More

I was ready to give this hotel a 5 star until I had to print my airline boarding pass the last night of my stay. The concierge directed me to the lobby where a boarding pass printing booth is located; the connection was very slow and I could not get to the site that would print my ticket. I brought... More
