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."

Choose the west wing for ultraprivate feel; choose the east wing if you like being closer to the action -- the original part of the hotel is where the restaurant, bar, and spa are.
