Frommer's "This fabulously luxurious hotel is just a short walk from the National Mall and Smithsonian museums, a quick cab ride to the Capitol, and a Metro stop away from other parts of town." Full review
Concierge "The sumptuous style, Eastern touches, cosseting service, and excellent food will come as no surprise to anyone who's stayed at a Mandarin Oriental."
Lonely Planet "The Mandarin delivers about everything you’d expect: big-box swank, ridiculous levels of amenities, service that’s appropriate for a Roman emperor."

"Opened in 2004, the 400-room Mandarin Oriental has the best spa, pool, and fitness center in the city." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Monumental views over the Potomac Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial are plentiful at this elegant hotel."
Gayot "This hotel is located in Southwest DC with stunning views of the Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial."
BlackBook "What this luxury spot lacks in location it makes up for in everything else: The best rooms, the best food and one of the best spa experiences in the city."
Zagat4.3
""Luxury beyond belief" lures sybarites to this "posh" and "pricey" "oasis of relaxation" distinguished by "exquisite" rooms and suites."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars

"For the most part, the Shoreham is a hulking, fairly bland-looking 834-room convention-focused business hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Adjacent to Rock Creek Park, this grand hotel sits on 11 landscaped acres. A dynamic, luxury hotel that has hosted countless important guests and meetings."
Rough Guide "Plush institution bursting with history and overlooking Rock Creek Park."
Star Service "This convention-oriented hotel may be in an off-center location, but it's the only D.C. hotel with a true resortlike setting, thanks to 11 acres of rolling lawns and thickets flanking Rock Creek Park." Full review
Gayot "After a huge renovation, this facility is one of the city's top luxury chain hotels. It received a full face-lift, from its impressive lobby to the fitness center to each individual room."
BlackBook "At a whopping 834 rooms, not exactly bijou. Still, famous-because-it's-famous hotel is so heavy with history, it's become a "slept there" landmark and convention favorite."
Zagat3.5
""Huge" yet "charming", this "signature" 1930s-era venue on 11 acres is a "busy" conference host that also draws the leisure crowd due to its "super" location near a Metro station."
Travel + Leisure "The four-diamond Omni Shoreham hotel is set apart from the city bustle in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, near both the National Zoo and Rock Creek Park." Full review
Fodor's "This elegant landmark overlooking Rock Creek Park has been lovingly tended and is aging gracefully, still luring guests with light-filled guest rooms." Full review
Jetsetter "Storied DC hotel near Rock Creek Park, with presidential traditions, an American restaurant, an outdoor pool and a spa." Full review
