"W imbued the former Hotel Washington... with its modern sensibilities but retained the 1917 Beaux Arts elements."

"It's hard to get a better look at the White House than it is from the exclusive P.O.V. rooftop bar lounge."
DK Eyewitness
"Located next to the White House, many of its rooms have superb views of the White House or the Capitol. Its exceptional service continues in a luxurious setting."
Star Service

BlackBook
"Ye Olde Hotel Washington rises from the ashes with a glaring, tell-all "W" on its brow. Thoughtful redesign plays on former grandiosity with sly, tongue-in-cheek touch."

Fodor's
