"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."

""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

"Storied DC hotel near Rock Creek Park, with presidential traditions, an American restaurant, an outdoor pool and a spa." Full review
