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

Gayot "Located at Metro Center in the heart of downtown Washington, this hotel puts you in the thick of things; in fact, it is the closest hotel to the Convention Center."
Zagat3.5
"Pulling in professionals and vacationers alike, this "wonderful" venue... offers more than 800 "comfortable" rooms and suites grouped around an "airy" central atrium."
Fodor's "The staff here sometimes refers to this chain hotel with all the standard business comforts as a mini city, and with so many conveniences under one atrium-topped roof it's easy to see why." Full review
