“Spacious, excellent staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

Started out having cocktails at The Madison last Friday night. Great crowd in the bar but we sat in the quieter area for some good conversation. Had a late night out in Washington DC and didn't intend to even stay overnight, especially since I only live in Old Town Alexndria VA. You know the rules...NO drinking & driving and it was really late. The Madison was so accommodating. My room was really nicely appointed and had great lotions and shampoo!

Of course, I didn't travel with toothpast & toothbrush. Floss yes but not the essentials. I frantically called downstairs at 3 am and they brought up my teeth needs. I was afraid to even breathe on the person who brought it!

Breakfast the next morning: wow!!! amazing yogurt/honey/fruit/granola. trying to stay a bit healthy. the rest of the group had what I envied: eggs/potatoes/toast!! great presentation.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Hallways were quiet (well it was 3 am...) and the beds were SOOO COMFORTABLE!!!

We're very glad to hear about your serendipitous stay with us - I suppose that is one of the many benefits of enjoying cocktails at a hotel! Our Lobby Bar is one of our favorite parts of Loews Madison. The framed paintings above the bar are actually antiques collected from all around the world. We're ecstatic that you experienced breakfast at PostScript. We appreciate your kind words about the food and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Warm Regards,

“Classy hotel for a girl's weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

The Madison was a perfect choice for our recent girl's weekend in DC. The hotel decor was sophisticated with a touch of glamor. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff could not have been more friendly or more helpful. We were even able to check-in early. Each morning we were greeted by the enthusiastic "Romeo" while leaving the hotel for the day. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone.

We hope to have the pleasure of hosting your next weekend getaway as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can do to make your next stay even more memorable.

“Fantastic luxury base to see the sights”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

We took a taxi from the airport for convenience; it was approx 45-50 mins and cost approx $60 for the 2 of us (May 2012).

Hotel location is excellent to take in this amazing city. It took us approx 10-15 minutes to get to all major tourist sites, the museums, The White House, Dupont Circle etc. Georgetown would have taken us longer but would not have been unachievable, though we didn’t have time on our whistle-stop 2 night stay.

The room was gorgeous, massive comfy bed, very clean too. A pleasure to come back to after hours of walking round this beautiful city.

There’s a bar on the corner, 2 minutes from the hotel, which was nice to visit for a few drinks to battle jetlag.

I can’t fault the hotel. It’s got great decor, is luxurious and with friendly staff in a good location. We'd definately stay here again!

“Gorgeous Hotel , unbelievable value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013 via mobile

My husband and I stayed for a night this past weekend to enjoy one of our favorite cities . This hotel is stunning , clean and fresh .
We booked through Expedia with no problems. Just a few tips...we booked the luxury king for $40 more than the deluxe. Turns out the only differnce was the luxury faces the city, the deluxe has an interior view, no differnce in the room itself. Our room was on the 3rd floor, so the only view we had was another building and the noisy street . Not worth the money for the upgrade! Also the only parking they offer is $40 a day valet, so we parked in a garage down the street for $25.

We will be staying again, just a little wiser to how things work.Great job with the renovation !

We're glad to hear that you like our post-renovation look! You are correct in that our Luxury Guest Rooms offer street views superior to our Deluxe Guest Rooms and we do apologize for the street noise you experienced on the third floor. While we do require a fee for our valet parking services, we strive to offer rates that are competitive for downtown D.C. hotels. It was our pleasure to host you and your husband this weekend and we hope your stay was memorable. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience more pleasurable upon your return to Loews Madison!

“Can not say 1 bad thing about our stay at The Madison!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013 via mobile

We came here for a weekend getaway. We reserved the Penthouse Room. The room was very clean and very Chic. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, the service was outstanding. We ordered room service for lunch. It came quickly, was hot, and delicious. For the price we paid for the room, it was a steal. Excellent service and a comfortable stay. I will be staying here from now on when I visit DC!
