My new favorite hotel - elegant, low-key and welcoming. the staff is attentive and pleasant. The room is clean, well-designed, and nicely appointed. The shower is the tops, with amazing water pressure. As good as everything is at this hotel, perhaps the best aspect is housekeeping - they seem to come as soon as you leave your room, they do such a nice job, and leave you with a new bottle of water, a calming chocolate, and slippers.

Hotel's Favorite
Everyone who worked at the Jefferson was so polite and helpful. Been a while since we have had really nice service. The valets took care of charging our car and our room was beautiful. No complaints. The location was great for us for a visit with our son who lives near by. Close to restaurants and beautiful, brownstone lines streets.

Our stay was part of a longer trip and The Jefferson being the first stay made everywhere else pale in comparison. We were traveling with my dog and everyone was accommodating and friendly. The customer service was outstanding from the valet, to front desk, to housekeeping service. The ipad in the room to make any requests was a nice touch as well. We loved it.

Charming, elegant. Beautifully, tastefully appointed, with a sense of history. Perfectly central location, walking distance to restaurants, theatre, monuments. Gracious, friendly, accommodating staff . Granted my request for a late checkout and, without even being asked, upgraded me to a next level room. Sumptuous brunch in the exquisitely beautiful Greenhouse.

We loved our stay at the Jefferson. We were just impressed by how nice everyone was, from the front desk, to the restaurant staff, to especially the valets. We stayed in a deluxe room which was very spacious and comfortable. There was a welcome treat to celebrate a special occasion we mentioned on the preference form which was a very nice touch. We enjoyed having coffees in the book room and drinks at the Quill. Brunch was very good both days at the Green House. The location is great (walkable to White House/museums and easy Uber to other restaurants and sites). Thank you to everyone who made our stay so relaxing and comfortable. We really look forward to staying here again.

Always been one of my favorite hotels. Great location. Middle of the action. Great rooms, very good staff. Excellent Bar. Nice to be at a location that also has good coffee. Too bad they don't supply the mini muffins they once had.

This was my second visit to The Jefferson. It is elegant yet welcoming and comfortable. The location is unbeatable and the food exceptional. My first visit was for a family wedding so a perfect place to celebrate and enjoy family. My second visit was my personal treat for completing a very stressful and rigorous move. The staff was accommodating and personable. The room peaceful and restorative. I enjoyed every minute!

This hotel is unparalleled in service, quality, and the authentic luxury historic feel. Each day upon returning 3 to 4 doormen would welcome us back warmly while opening the doors. One night we needed help with our HDMI cable and 3 different managers came to assist us. I have not experienced service of this quality since I went to Japan. The restaurant served gourmet food in a quiet and elegant setting. The book room, modeled after Thomas Jefferson’s home library, was an exquisite place to drink coffee and read. I honest.y cannot wait to go back to DC just to stay in this hotel!

My family and friends had an amazing time at The Jefferson in Washington, DC. Hands down the best hotel in the city. The entire staff was genuinely kind and helpful each and every day. The food was fantastic and the rooms were upscale with a colonial touch. It is the perfect location and will be the only place I stay when visiting Washington DC!
