Frommer's "This fabulously luxurious hotel is just a short walk from the National Mall and Smithsonian museums, a quick cab ride to the Capitol, and a Metro stop away from other parts of town." Full review
Concierge "The sumptuous style, Eastern touches, cosseting service, and excellent food will come as no surprise to anyone who's stayed at a Mandarin Oriental."
Lonely Planet "The Mandarin delivers about everything you’d expect: big-box swank, ridiculous levels of amenities, service that’s appropriate for a Roman emperor."

Lonely Planet "The place is good value, especially since weekly and monthly rates are available." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This suites-only hotel was recreated from an apartment building, and the result is large spaces with kitchens. Near the Library of Congress, the US Capitol, and Eastern Market."
Michelin Guide "Nestled on a quiet residential street in the shadow of the Capitol, this hotel is well-situated for seeing sights on or near the Hill: the Capitol building is just two blocks away."
Star Service "This is a modest midrange hotel with a mix of above-average-size rooms, some with kitchenettes, and suites with kitchens." Full review

Avoid the ugly alley in back.
Gayot "At a block away, this is the closest hotel to the U.S. Capitol, and a Metro ride away from other monuments, museums and local attractions."
Fodor's "A great choice if you want to stay on the Hill and need some extra room to spread out." Full review

"This three-and-a-half-pearl, 153-room hotel is located in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, just a five-minute walk from the Capitol Building and the Capitol South Metro station." Full review
Frommer's "This hotel has the distinction of being the only one in the city actually on the Hill, an unbeatable location...rooms are generally spacious, ranging in size from 320 to 510 square feet." Full review
