Situated directly across Lafayette Square from the White House, this charming hotel offers immediate access to Washington’s downtown business district as well as the monuments and museums of the National Mall. Built in 1928 and thoroughly renovated in 2002, the Hay-Adams has retained the grace and charm of a bygone era—when guests included the likes of Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Sinclair Lewis. Sumptuous guestrooms show attention to detail, with custom European linens, canopy headboards with dimmer lighting, and free high-speed Internet access.

Features
What to expect: Entering the Hay-Adams is like stepping back in time to the elegant world of 1920s Washington, when guests included the likes of Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Sinclair Lewis. Amenity highlights: The rich décor and personalized service are just the beginning. Each room features custom European bed linens and down pillows, a component audio system, dimmable lighting mounted in a canopy headboard above the bed, and an analog alarm clock that eliminates fussing with the buttons on digital clock radios. Bathrooms contain brass and porcelain fixtures with all-marble walls and floors, designer Etro toiletries, and both fixed and handheld showerheads. Business travelers will appreciate the free high-speed Internet access, as well as the three dual-line telephones in each room with free local, toll-free, and credit card calls. Insider tip: The Hay-Adams is also notable for its fantastic location, tempting guests to explore on foot across Lafayette Square to the White House, then a few blocks beyond to the Washington Monument. From there, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials beckon to the west and south, while to the east sits the Capitol and the Smithsonian museums lining the Mall. For a taste of Beltway power dining, head a couple of blocks in the opposite direction to one of the old-fashioned steakhouses on or near K Street (such as Prime Rib, 2020 K St NW), where men in dark suits scoff at “business casual” while closing deals over martinis, crab cakes, and—what else?—steak.
Lafayette Room - Savor contemporary American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch, with dinner offered Monday through Friday evenings only. The dining room is elegant and sunny and the menu tempting. Off the Record Bar - Enjoy classic American dishes for lunch and dinner. The décor features plush red booths, and the walls are decorated with caricatures of current political players—the drawings are changed regularly to reflect who’s up and who’s down in Washington’s power games.

| The Hay Adams hotel is fantastic. The employees of the Hay Adams go out of their way to give excellent service. There was not one thing that I can complain about. The location is great, especially if you want to sight see. The hotel is centrally located to many of the monuments and museums.

| The hotel is right across the street from the Whitehouse. The staff was extremely friendly. The room was big, with a large, comfortable bed. The bathroom was rather cramped, especially the shower. We recommend the cozy hotel bar.

| The hotel was very accomodating in giving my tux a quick press for a black tie affair that I had to leave for one hour after checking in to the hotel. The rooms were ridiculously plush, and well appointed. The hotel was elegant and stately. The location is just one block from the White House on a nice quiet park. It was a very pleasant stay ofr a quick business trip.

| From the moment you walk in, the staff treat you like royalty. The room we stayed in was clean, comfortable bed, and peaceful. Convient, and a beautiful view of the White House. This was my first visit to DC and my boyfriend and I loved it, in part because our hotel stay was great. The only thing I would recommend is that they add a few more items to their room service menu.

| This is an old hotel, but is well preserved and just beautiful. THe common areas aren't huge like modern day hotels, but the architectural detail is really pretty with lots of dark woods and gilt painting. Service is extremely first class. The location is wonderful, putting you in walking distance of the WHite House and many other places of interest, and great restaurants.

| The staff was friendly upon check-in, and the hotel dazzled. As we'd told them it was our first anniversary, they upgraded our room for free and gave us a Lafayette Square (White House) view. We came home from dinner to find a half dozen chocolate-covered strawberries and a lovely note from the staff congratulating us on our special occasion!
