The Fairfax at Embassy Row is a perfectly pleasant place at which to stay, within close reach of the Dupont Circle stop on the Metro (the line connects directly to Union Station), and is in a neighborhood full of shops and restaurants. The rooms are very pleasantly decorated, and come with a fair amount of storage space, though the rooms... more

Hotel location is very convenient, a few minutes walk from Dupont Circle Metro station. Hotel staff are not very friendly but okay. Room was relatively small especially bathroom was very small. There was a fridge right next to a drawer where TV was put, but oddly the door of fridge was facing to window and there was only 1 ft... more

I surprised my wife for her 50th birthday with a weekend get away to DC (we live 25 miles away) Chose the Fairfax based on high number of positive reviews and great location. Hotel was outstanding from the moment we arrived to the checkout. Beautiful old hotel in perfectly restored condition. They recognized from my reservation that it was special... more

Room was very clean. Valet staff was very helpful. The faixfax lounge was nice for a drink by the fire. The location was close to Dupont Circle, but a little ways from town. However, not much more than a quick cab ride away. Overall, I would give it an A. more

My husband and I have just returned from a 6 day trip to Washington DC. We stayed at the Fairfax Hotel on Embassy Row, which is close to Dupont Circle. The Hotel service was fantastic, our room was wonderful, but I found the bath plug did not work, so they immediately upgraded us and moved us to a bigger room... more

I don't think there's enough room here to describe everything that went wrong at my recent one-night business stay at the Fairfax. I'd stayed there before, and never had a problem, so this time was just inexcusably shocking. On the plus side, the location is great, two blocks from DuPont Circle and the Metro, right on Massachusetts Ave. The Cons.... more

I have stayed at The Fairfax a few times over the past several years. I like it now more than ever. Just off DuPont Circle with lots of restaurants and nightlife, it is a quiet place to rest. All the staff are friendly. Never a line for the concierge, front desk, restaurant, bar with fireplace, or free 2 computer business... more
