I came to DC for an impromptu mother daughter weekend, and it was both of our first times in DC. From the moment my mom and I first walked into the hotel we were impressed, and the location really can't be beat. Given that it is the holidays and since the trip was last minute we weren't sure if we would be able to get a reservation at any restaurant last minute. Luckily, Alex at the concierge desk was there to help! He recommended Fiola for dinner and even though the restaurant was fully booked he managed to get us a reservation. While he was on the phone with the restaurant he overheard my mom and I talking about wanting to sight see, and no sooner had he booked our dinner, he had out a map and was telling us what we absolutely should not miss while we were in town. Not only did we have a fabulous day touring DC thanks to him, but we had an amazing meal that evening. Alex truly made our trip unforgettable and we will be talking about our stay at the St Regis for a long time to come. We can't wait to plan our next mother daughter trip to come back!

did a staycation for Christmas Eve at the St. Regis -- stayed in a metropolitan suite (corner with lots of windows and two views). The decor was classic, but a little more old-school than the Four Seasons standard -- heavy fabrics and patterns, but not stodgy; very comfortable, but elegant. Great shower - big space. Standard sized separate tub under the picture window. Service was impeccable -- room service was delivered within 15 minutes, served hot, and presented as if we were in the restaurant. For tourism, it's just two blocks from the Pennsylvania Ave entrance to the White House, right on 16th. Staff was very accomodating -- late check-out was greeted with a pleasant "yes"; porters and room-service staff were friendly without fawning.

For my first experience, it may well supplant the Four Seasons in Georgetown as my favorite in the district; it's certainly on par. I still like the Four Seasons for its lap pool -- the only indoor hotel lap pool that I know of in DC.

We stayed at the St. Regis for 4 night over the Christmas holiday. First the good.The hotel is in a great location, right up from the White House. The rooms are quiet and the beds are very comfortable. The doormen were very nice. Now the bad. The hotel just misses the mark on so many small things. First, there are no irons/ironing boards in the rooms. Who wants to wait for housekeeping when you want to iron pants at the last minute? The two rooms we stayed in did not have bathtubs. Again, for a hotel of this caliber not to have tubs seems ridiculous. Of course, there were no coffee makers in the rooms ( how about a keurig!!) and unless you went to the lobby really early, there was no coffee there either. Room service was prompt with the coffee, but it is silly to have to order a whole pot for just two cups of coffee. For some reason, some guests got the morning paper, but we did not. This seems just darn cheap!!! There really aren't any closets, rather there is a wardrobe that is not all that big. The bathrooms have make up mirrors, but the lighting is so bad, they are practically useless. There is a TV in the bathroom mirror which is very high tech, except that you can't see the picture very well when the lights are on. There are many better options in DC than the St. Regis. I was very sorry it was so disappointing.

My family and I traveled to DC and stayed at the beautiful St. Regis Washington. We didn't plan out our travel itinerary, but Jair at the Concierge desk was so very helpful. We were worried we wouldn't get a reservation at a really nice restaurant or find fun things to do for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Fortunately, Jair came through and we were pleasantly surprised. We understood that most of the museums were going to be closed on Christmas Day, but he recommended the Botanical garden, which was open. My kids really enjoyed the railroad.
Regarding the hotel itself, the room was very very cozy -- a little on the smaller side, but nicely decorated. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Adour. The service was great and the breakfast was paid with our breakfast vouchers.

We look forward to the final outcome of the new bar the next time we visit.

Overall, great location and attentive and helpful staff. The scavenger hunt for the kids was definitely a winner. Wish they had a spa and a bigger gym. We'll be definitely back.
