Frommer's "Behind a facade of stainless steel, limestone, and glass is one of Washington's hippest places to stay, and it's within easy reach of both the Capitol and Union Station." Full review
Concierge "Right next to Capitol Hill, this Kimpton property was the first hotel to bring cutting-edge design to a very traditional, Federalist city."
DK Eyewitness "One of the most fashionable hotels in the city, deserving attention because of its innovative design, excellent business accommodations... and its fine bistro-style restaurant."
Michelin Guide "George Washington is the father of this country and Hotel George is the father of this, the city's modern hotel scene."
BlackBook "Unabashed Capitol Hill hideaway for the closeted trend fiend, metrosexual lobbyist, fast-paced corporates wearing glasses by Christian Roth."
Zagat3.3
"Praised for its "warm", "funky-chic" atmosphere and "always-welcoming" staffers, this "hip" boutique offers "large", "modern" accommodations."

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

Gayot "A classic Washington establishment featuring refined décor and a prime location."
Condé Nast Traveler85.7
