Fodor's "The location is ideal: one block from 6th Street, four blocks from the Capitol, and next door to the historic Paramount Theater." Full review
Lonely Planet "A restrained formality greets you in the marble-clad lobby of this 1924 beaux arts building. The sort of quiet elegance that attracts privacy-seeking celebs."

The new suites on floors 15-19 are the ones to request, each with bold contemporary design and top-notch amenities.
Gayot "Due to its downtown location, this hotel attracts a large corporate clientele."
BlackBook "You're the master of your domain atop the rooftop of this downtown sky-kisser."
Zagat4.0
"Occupying a steel-and-glass tower, this "classy" Downtown "surprise" caters to the corporate set, but its "amazing" location off the Sixth Street entertainment district and "courteous" staff appeal to all."
Time Out "Accommodations range from comfortable deluxe rooms to the luxurious penthouse suite, and you can take your pick of dining options with the hotel's multiple restaurants and bars." Full review
