Rough Guide "Sumptuous Washington classic featuring a promenade – a vast, imperial hall – and smart rooms with subtle, tasteful furnishings; the terrific Café Promenade restaurant is much in demand."
Michelin Guide "A perennial favorite of frequent visitors, the Mayflower flaunts the splendor of Washington's golden age along busy Connecticut Avenue."
Gayot "The block-long lobby boasts a lovely mezzanine level and large skylights, and teems with activity during working hours --- it is an accessible public cut-through from Connecticut Avenue to 17th Street."
BlackBook "Roaring twenties opulence meets twenty-first century pomp with purpose."
Zagat3.8
"There's "plenty of history" at this longtime host of presidents (and a few of their mistresses), a "venerable" circa-1925 landmark that "impresses" with an "extremely attentive" staff."

Zagat3.5
"A "conveniently located" "favorite" just off Dupont Circle, this nonsmoking Kimpton boutique is sought out for its "friendly" vibe."

Ask for a back-of-the-house room on floors 6 through 10, where views of Rock Creek Park and the Washington National Cathedral can be seen.
Lonely Planet "Cozy yet cosmopolitan, this hotel is another Kimpton property, the focus here being more of an intimate, small boutique than large funk-da-house hipster haunt." Full review
Gayot "This hotel combines the selling point of convenience with the fact that it is just far enough off the main drag to provide a quiet stay." Full review
Afar Magazine "Just a couple of leafy blocks from always-lively Dupont Circle, the Kimpton-run boutique hotel looks like a 1960s apartment building on the outside." Full review
Fodor's "Tranquil guest rooms at this intimate inn are nicely done with taupe, charcoal, and indigo furnishings, and some are oversized and have balconies." Full review
