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."
