Travel + Leisure "Consistent with Kimpton hotels' fondness for excess, Hotel Rouge incorporates shades of its signature color into every facet of its stylishly '60s décor." Full review
Star Service "In this city with its share of the Big Bad Wolves, this cheerful, color-coordinated Kimpton is Little Red Riding Hood." Full review

BlackBook "Go ahead and kiss the furniture, your lipstick blends right in. Bright red beds are gorgeous, albeit suited more for romping then sleeping."
Frommer's "Rooms are spacious enough to easily accommodate several armchairs and a large ottoman... a huge mirror positioned to reflect the living room-like space, and a 10-foot-long mahogany desk." Full review
Gayot "With flamboyant and downright fiery rooms, this kid- and pet-friendly hotel is a haven of comfort."
Jetsetter "Playful city stay just five blocks from the White House, with retro fittings and animal print galore." Full review
Fodor's "You'll be seeing red and loving it; rooms are a sleek postmodern tribute to the color, from the red platform beds to the red velvet curtains, chicly offset with gray and white accent pieces." Full review

Concierge "This venerable hotel... has such a good bird's-eye view of the First Mansion that network news divisions often book a room here just for the camera angles."
Insight Guides "If it's good enough for the Obamas, it's good enough for the rest of us. This grand, historic hotel faces the White House and has hosted many a famous face."
OysterLuxury
"Quite possibly the most famous hotel in the capital, and deservedly so." Full review
Travel + Leisure "One of the city's finest hotels, this rebuilt 19th-century residence also boasts what is arguably the city's best location." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Constructed on the sites of the homes of John Hay and Henry Adams, this elegant hotel features beautifully restored rooms filled with antiques and boasting ornamental ceilings."
Rough Guide "From the gold-leaf and walnut lobby to the sleek modern rooms, the Hay-Adams is one of DC’s finest hotels."
Michelin Guide "With a view of the Executive Mansion from its location across Lafayette Square, the lauded Hay-Adams is closer to the White House than any of the city's grande-dame hotels."
Star Service "The small porte cochere, usually clogged with luxury sedans, leads right into the period, high-ceilinged lobby, where a staff member intercepts all guests. " Full review
Gayot "This establishment was a residential hotel in the 1920s. Today it hosts a clientele that includes pleasure travelers, ambassadors and celebrities."
BlackBook "If you can't be the president, be his neighbor. Immediate prestige is just a slingshot's shot away from the secret service men staring back at you from the White House roof."
