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."

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.

Request a room on the eighth or ninth floor for views of Georgetown and beyond; request an "executive corner suite" for a slightly larger unit.
Lonely Planet "It may leave little to the imagination, but this outpost of the chain does a fine job with those basics, plus the location between Georgetown and Dupont Circle is handy."
DK Eyewitness "Well-furnished rooms with good work areas and a separate living room for meetings or relaxing."
Star Service "Opened in 1987 on the eastern edge of Georgetown, this familiar midrange franchise ticks with the efficiency of a well-wound metronome." Full review
Fodor's "All accommodations at this pleasant and convenient hotel within walking distance of Georgetown and Dupont Circle have a living room and bedroom." Full review
Time Out "Reasonably priced suites make this a good choice for families and business travellers who need room to spread out. Complimentary breakfast is cooked to order, and there’s a daily cocktail reception." Full review
