Frommer's "The hotel's ICI Urban Bistro restaurant and Le Bar lounge are popular gathering spots, especially in pleasant weather, when urbanistas jam ICI's terrace tables." Full review
DK Eyewitness "On a corner of Lafayette Square, this 1862 building has been transformed by the French Sofitel chain into an elegant contemporary hotel."
Star Service "The well-maintained accommodations revolve around their big beds, with ceiling-high mahogany headboards and cloudlike duvets. Technology is given a boost with the 38-inch flat-screen TVs." Full review
Gayot "This hotel opened in the summer of 2002 in a historic building dating back to the late 19th century."
BlackBook "Brand Paris infiltrates America's executive block party with stealth, impeccable taste, and funky striped carpets."
Zagat4.2
""Incredible" service soars "above all expectations" at this "outstanding", "luxurious" and historic property also boasting "modern, elegant" accommodations."
Lonely Planet "In a fabulous corner location with lots of windows, the Sofitel’s airy rooms let in loads of natural sunlight." Full review
Jetsetter "French-infused stay a block from the White House, with Pierre-Yves Rochon interiors and a popular bistro." Full review
Time Out "From the outside, the Sofitel looks like a typical big-city American hotel, but there’s a clue to some subtle differences: a French flag flying alongside the Stars and Stripes." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In some way, every Sofitel is a Parisian hotel, and despite the inescapable fact of its location in downtown Washington, the Lafayette is no exception." 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."
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
