"Set in a fashionable boutique- and townhouse-lined neighborhood, across the Potomac from Washington, D.C." Full review
Fodor's
"The architecture, parquet floors, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, and furnishings here are so faithful to the Federal period... that the hotel is often mistaken for a renovation rather than what it is." Full review
Frommer's
"Although it was built in 1985, one of Virginia's finest boutique hotels was designed after the grand manor houses of the Federal period and thus fits right into Old Town." Full review

"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."

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."
