A beautiful hotel with old world elegance. This was one of the best hotels I've stayed in and cannot recommend it highly enough. We stayed in some nice hotels in New York on this trip but they were a bit too concerned with being 'cool' to make us feel special and welcome. The Hay Adams treated us like a luxury... more

I stayed at the Hay Adams in early May. This is a classic small boutique hotel in a perfect location across from the White House. In a world of look-alike hotels, the Hay Adams has its own style that is very elegant. I loved the "Off the Record" bar in the lower level---very clubby bar filled with locals . I... more

We stayed at the Hay Adams in August 2009 for a wedding. This is a stunningly elegant hotel and the service was unbelievable from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. The hotel rooms are spacious and have a European glamour to them, but with modern bathrooms and amenities. Our view was of St. John's church and our room had... more

A five star hotel across the street from the White House that deserves all 5 stars. This is a beautiful and charming hotel with excellent, attentive service and elegant, plush, comfortable rooms. We chose a White House view (upcharge), but since not visiting DC for many years it was well worth it. Seeing the White House as big as life... more

I have now stayed at the Hay-Adams twice in the last two years, and this is one of my favorite hotels. On this trip, I stayed by myself in a very reasonably priced room on the 6th floor. My sister stayed in a HUUUGE suite on the same floor. Why do I love this hotel? The housekeeping staff is so... more

Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, unobtrusive but superb service, excellent amenities. Absolutely fabulous- could not have asked for more! From check-in to check-out, he best we have tried around Washington to date. Really a wonderful hotel. That said, the restaurant for dinner was not very good- although the service was fine. Food, including fish and foie gras, had a bit of... more

We were treated like royalty and like long-lost friends when we stayed one night on a family trip to see Washington and the cherry blossom trees. We pulled up to valet parking in our Ford AeroStar van with our mismatched luggage and even a cooler, but we picked up none of the usual get-a-load-of-these-people signals. The only signal we picked... more
