Frommer's "An especially lovely place to stay the night (and especially expensive: Its rates may be the highest in town)." Full review
Concierge "It's still the province of visiting heads of state, diplomats, and lobbyists, and an air of decorum prevails."

"Its premier restaurant, 24-hour butler service, and spacious, high-tech rooms place it among the city's elite." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Calvin Coolidge took part in the 1926 opening of this grand hotel, styled after a Renaissance palace and appointed with antiques, chandeliers, and fine tapestries."

Avoid rooms facing the Crystal Terrace, as it is often raucous with functions and parties.

BlackBook "Queenly residence for visiting heads of state, pocket-heavy Europeans and America's aging glitterati."

Michelin Guide "A perennial favorite of frequent visitors, the Mayflower flaunts the splendor of Washington's golden age along busy Connecticut Avenue."

BlackBook "Roaring twenties opulence meets twenty-first century pomp with purpose."
Zagat3.8
