Frommer's "The hotel's ICI Urban Bistro restaurant and Le Bar lounge are popular gathering spots, especially in pleasant weather, when urbanistas jam ICI's terrace tables." Full review
DK Eyewitness "On a corner of Lafayette Square, this 1862 building has been transformed by the French Sofitel chain into an elegant contemporary hotel."
Star Service "The well-maintained accommodations revolve around their big beds, with ceiling-high mahogany headboards and cloudlike duvets. Technology is given a boost with the 38-inch flat-screen TVs." Full review
Gayot "This hotel opened in the summer of 2002 in a historic building dating back to the late 19th century."
BlackBook "Brand Paris infiltrates America's executive block party with stealth, impeccable taste, and funky striped carpets."

""Incredible" service soars "above all expectations" at this "outstanding", "luxurious" and historic property also boasting "modern, elegant" accommodations."
Lonely Planet "In a fabulous corner location with lots of windows, the Sofitel’s airy rooms let in loads of natural sunlight." Full review
Jetsetter "French-infused stay a block from the White House, with Pierre-Yves Rochon interiors and a popular bistro." Full review
Time Out "From the outside, the Sofitel looks like a typical big-city American hotel, but there’s a clue to some subtle differences: a French flag flying alongside the Stars and Stripes." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In some way, every Sofitel is a Parisian hotel, and despite the inescapable fact of its location in downtown Washington, the Lafayette is no exception." Full review

Try to book corner rooms 14 and 26, which have windows on two sides flooding the space with light.

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
