Frommer's "An especially lovely place to stay the night (and especially expensive: Its rates may be the highest in town)." Full review
Concierge "It's still the province of visiting heads of state, diplomats, and lobbyists, and an air of decorum prevails."

"Its premier restaurant, 24-hour butler service, and spacious, high-tech rooms place it among the city's elite." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Calvin Coolidge took part in the 1926 opening of this grand hotel, styled after a Renaissance palace and appointed with antiques, chandeliers, and fine tapestries."
Michelin Guide "The landmark St. Regis looms over Washington's thriving business district with an air of distinction."
Star Service "The staff too is professional if somewhat cool, and as emotionally detached as the Secret Service agents who shadow some of the guests staying here." Full review

Avoid rooms facing the Crystal Terrace, as it is often raucous with functions and parties.
Gayot "From the arched doorway facade to the Oriental carpets and dangling chandeliers of the impressive lobby, this hotel... is all about elegance."
BlackBook "Queenly residence for visiting heads of state, pocket-heavy Europeans and America's aging glitterati."

Ask for an executive king room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking P Street for the best in-the-neighborhood experience.

"Fun boutique flair, at a fair price." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located in Dupont Circle just one mile from the National Mall, Hotel Palomar is a Kimpton boutique property with a chic, art-inspired design." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This funky boutique hotel offers guests luxury accommodation in a lively neighborhood. The rooms in this converted apartment building are large."
Rough Guide "Excellent boutique accommodation with flat-panel TVs and CD players in the rooms, an on-site pool, fitness centre, stylish lounge and location close to the Circle."
Michelin Guide "This modern, 10-story property bustles, especially late afternoons when patrons enjoy complimentary wine and hors'd'oeuvres in the sleek lobby."
Star Service "It is also the most animated thanks to a large, style-driven lobby and lounge, outdoor pool, high room count and the social scene whipped up by free wine social hours." Full review
BlackBook "Boutique hotel takes arty schtick to the edge."
