What a great idea to have breakfast at The Hay-Adams. Such a refined and elegant 5 star palace, with a personal so distinguished and courteous. Emmanuel served us with warmth and in French, which is rare in Washington DC. We will never forget this last meal, before our return to France. Many thanks to the dining room staff. Every body was so exceptional. Michèle BLOUIN Nice, FRANCE

Hotel's Favorite
What an amazing stay we have just had at this truly beautiful luxurious hotel. Situated so close to the White House and central to many of the visitor attractions we wanted to see. From the moment we arrived we were greeted so warmly by staff and our check in was seamless - just what we needed after a long transatlantic flight and airport transfer. All told, the service at The Hay Adams was impeccable. There is not one area of the hotel/staff we could have found fault with. I am going home with several caricature coasters from the bar that will evoke many a happy memory of our afternoon drinks after a hard day on the tourist trail - I particularly loved the wasabi chickpeas which were complimentary along with nuts and olives. Only hope I can find the wasabi chickpeas when I get home!!! Breakfast was always excellent and we were looked after so very well especially by Eric & Emmanuel. No request or variation to the menu was an issue. The staff were excellent and always professional. The rooms were beautiful, tasteful and very clean. A special thank you to Franziska the head Head Concierge and her team for all their help, advice & suggestions. All in all an excellent stay, and hopefully we will return to the amazing city of Washington and even more amazing The Hay Adams.…

My wife and I saw an opening in our schedules and decided to have a quick weekend with just us two. As parents, it was great to get a breather and both meet at the Hay-Adams. Everything was magical. The room, the bed, the view, the staff, and the food. As DC nerds this was the perfect base to stay while we walked around. Definitely a splurge, but sometimes those are justified. Everything was wonderful. The robes were so comfy I asked them to add one to my bill on the way out. Now I can have the Hay-Adams Experience at home.

This is a great hotel! The service is impeccable and the staff are genuinely friendly and glad to be of help. My room faced the church and it was very bright and wonderful. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds. The mini bar was very well stocked. The bathroom and amenities were excellent, although the bathroom is a bit small, but not uncomfortably so. Their bar in the basement is fantastic! The drinks are excellent and I had a couple of meals there as well that were very tasty. I had a couple of breakfasts through room service and they were very good. Overall, it was an excellent stay and I will definitely return!

Everything at The Hay-Adams was perfect! The view, the rooms, the food, the service, the venue for both The Welcome Dinner and the Farewell Brunch, the employees, and the location. I definitely enjoyed myself and when I return to DC, I will definitely consider staying at The Hay-Adams. Thank you for all the little touches that made my stay so comfortable.

Short stay but the experienced staff makes a difference. Wonderful place. I travel a fair amount and prefer hotels where the accommodations are great but equally important the staff is experienced, friendly and genuinely enjoy being there and taking care of their guests.

I chose this special hotel as part of our 50th anniversary celebration because I wanted the best. It was a good decision because we were impressed by everything the hotel had to offer. The location is tops, the decor is beautiful and classy, and the service couldn't be beat. It's a beautiful historic mansion, and staying there made us feel like royalty. The staff really aims at serving and pleasing the guests. They are very professional at all times, yet they are very friendly.....always with a smile. They made us restaurant reservations and secured us tickets to a museum that required early morning same day bookings. Moreover, they have a house car that drove us to our restaurant on 2 occasions. I chose the "park and play" package, which entitled us to valet parking and breakfast. Breakfast is served in an extremely elegant room, and the selections on the menu are all wonderful. As a very early riser, it suited me to take advantage of the complimentary coffee served in the lobby during very early hours (before breakfast is served). Visiting Washington D.C. is an experience in itself, but staying in the Hay-Adams makes that visit perfect. We plan to stay there again in the future.....I really can't imagine staying elsewhere.…

This is truly a beautiful hotel and the service is outstanding. I make frequent trips to Washington DC and I always try and stay here. I've stayed at the Four Seasons and other 5 star hotels, but in my opinion the Hay Adams is by far the best choice. Lafayette Restaurant serves amazing food with many choices, I've eaten both breakfast, lunch and dinner on multiple occasions and I have never been disappointed. The 'off the record' bar stays open late. It does get somewhat crowded, but I've always been able to find a table for me and my guests. For those of you who do not know where it is, the hotel is literally right across from Lafayette Square/White House. Hotel guests are typically a combination of business people, politicians/political staff /service personnel and tourists. The hotel is old but the rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. But the best bit for me is the location to downtown Washington DC and the amazing staff who, in my experience will stop at nothing to make sure your requests are taken care of.…

A wonderful stay in a good location with friendly hotel and restaurant staff and yummy breakfasts. We tend to prefer modern decor but love the history of this well maintained hotel. The outside entrance is beautiful and the bouquet inside the main entry was stunning.
