This hotel is nicely outfitted and is a solid pick for business. I took the metro line almost everywhere seemed closes enough to practically everything I needed. I will likely book here again. Parking was outrageously expensive (so avoid driving a car if you can).

Like others have said, wonderful location. Short walk to a useful Metro line and far enough out to not be surrounded by traffic and car horns. Hotel and service were both excellent. Only downside is the lack of public parking (despite having acres available for the valets).

The Omni Shoreham has even there a long time, and I had not been there for many years. It was wonderful to arrive and see that gorgeous lobby, still looking regal and comfortable. Various seating areas all around made it easy to meet my colleagues in comfort.
The rooms are large and love the beds, very comfortable. The shower was fabulous! I gauge hotels by water pressure and this one was incredible. Now marble showers and granite counters give the room a modern look without losing the elegant feel. This is a historic hotel and I love the classic look and colors of the furniture and decor. Turndown was a nice touch, since I returned late from business appointments. You should sign up for their free guest program, Omni Select - you get free wifi in your room and a complimentary beverage in the morning! I got a quick knock at the time I requested (after my prompt wake up call) and by the time I opened the door to my in room dining tray, the staff person had disappeared from the hallway. Love that!!
I attended a business event and their meeting rooms and ballrooms are gorgeous, each with a different classic look and elegance, with windows and natural light. The staff at lunch was gracious and quick, and food was excellent! Best spinach salad I have had in a long time, and moist chicken with a great flavor. I love the glamour of their high ceilings and elegant historic look.
They also have wonderful staff, the doorman remembered my name and the waitress in the bar knew what we drank the 2nd night there! That attention to service and detail made my visit more enjoyable, even with long days of work. Also love that it it located right off Rock Creek Park, and the RC Parkway, which makes a cab ride to Capitol Hill areas a quick ride. The red line for Metro is also a block away, so convenient.
Overall a terrific hotel and if you like the classic, historic feel of what Washington DC represents, this should be your choice.

What a beautiful hotel! The property is lovely, all the public spaces are absolutely gorgeous, spotless and luxe! The rooms themselves are super luxurious, numerous different floor plans make it feel very special, and not cookie-cutter. Tasteful decor, artwork, original architectural features, make this hotel feel like a beautiful apartment suite, not a typical hotel.

The baths are wonderful, I was lucky enough to have one with a window, tiled in marble with a phenomenal soaker tub. I loved being able to open the windows (albeit, only about 2 inches or so) to take advantage of the warm weather (18 Celsius there, -30 at home... WHAT a treat for 3 days!)

The bed was TO DIE FOR! A King size, with double pillow top mattress and TWO comforters (one down, one synthetic) I slept like a baby. The pillows were so amazing I took them apart to see the manufacturer and immediately purchased a pair from a local retailer when I returned home.

If you're concerned about the restaurant prices, try "Open City" restaurant, just across the street. Great prices and delicious bistro-style food.
