This place has buzz but is not yet swamped, so take advantage of being ahead of the curve. French-owned, it is blessedly independent of American hotel standards. In Europe (and much of touristic Asia and Africa) the hotels are better, the restaurants are better, the airlines are better -basically everything is better. Sofitel gives you all that (except the better... More

I stayed at the Sofitel for two nights. I was expecting super swanky but what I got was really comfortable. Customer service was first rate and what's not to like when someone greats you with a bit of friendly French!? The Sofitel is located conveniently to K Street, the White House and a Metro stop. My bed was super comfortable... More

I went to DC with my boyfriend for a weekend getaway. We stayed at this hotel and it was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great. Just a couple of blocks from the White House. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was very good. The service was excellent. The room was... More

I had a wonderful experience at the sofitel. Very centrally located within walking distance to the convention center. had a wonderful room with a king sized bed and a very large bathroom with L'Occitaine amenities. Housekeeping also brought extra amenities like shaving kit in a timely matter when I needed it. I had the opportunity to dine on foie gras... More

Had a very pleasant stay at the Sofitel when I was in Washington DC for a business trip recently. The hotel is very well located - just around the corner from the White House. The staff were (almost) universally friendly and helpful. As I was staying three nights I received an upgrade to a suite, which was very well furnished... More

Spent five lovely nights over New Year at the Sofitel DC. We booked on a 'Prepaid 40% off sale' rate which made the hotel rate excellent value for money and we had excellent stay. Superb service from the hotel's excellent Guest Relations Manager, the front desk team and concierge, which included arranging transportation from Dulles prior to our arrival. The... More

I stayed at the DC Sofitel in January 2012 for business. It is a very nice, luxury hotel and I would stay again. Almost everything is top of the line - Bose wave radio in the rooms, L'Occitane in the bath, mini bar, great TV, nice bar Le Bar and excellent room service. A couple things -- and I only... More

We spent three night at the Sofitel for MLK's birthday weekend. The hotel is in an amazing location. Service was excellent but not consistent (examples, my parents, in a different room, received an "orientation" on check in, no one picked up dirty dishes from the room, etc.). We got a key card (and no introduction to the room or hotel).... More

Excellent conversion of a former office building without any of the lingering sterility that this normally brings. Tasteful downstairs bar and an intimate restaurant bracket the entrance. The rooms vary in configuration, but all are generally satisfactory and at a high standard. Beware, prices will reflect location (hop, skip and a jump to the White House) and any Beltway blitzkrieg... More

Washington is a great city to visit as a family and for students. My daughter is currently a medical student and she loved the energy level of George Town. She definately wants to go back there. More
