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

DK Eyewitness "A classic hotel with complimentary shoe shines, and multilingual staff."
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."
