Star Service "Inside this beehive is a potpourri of dining options, recreational facilities, and of course, lots and lots of meeting space." 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

Concierge "This cavernous Beaux Arts masterpiece has been the centerpiece of official Washington since it opened in 1850."
Travel + Leisure "Today's Willard, a bit like the political world it esteems, is grand in public, though a little bland in private." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This is certainly among the most historic of hotels. Epochal events, including the birth of the League of Nations, were discussed here by principal figures."
Star Service "The regularly maintained accommodations all feature a traditional decor of high ceilings, dark-stained period furniture, classic color schemes and traditional window treatments." Full review
BlackBook "Washington's Waldorf Astoria, even designed by the same guy. A whole lotta shit has gone down in these marble halls which are literally made of marble."
Zagat4.0
""Nothing compares to the service at the Willard" swoon supporters of the "impeccable" staff at this "grand old hotel" oozing "history and elegance"."
Frommer's "This is one of D.C.'s finest hotels, and certainly its most historic, having served as temporary home to two presidents... and as the setting for many historic events." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The building is a masterpiece of the beaux arts movement, all fancy crenellations and soaring, dignity-laden elegance." Full review
Gayot "A classic Washington establishment featuring refined décor and a prime location."
Condé Nast Traveler85.7
