Frommer's "The W wants to blow you away, and it doesn't mess around." Full review
Concierge "W imbued the former Hotel Washington... with its modern sensibilities but retained the 1917 Beaux Arts elements."
Fodor's "It's hard to get a better look at the White House than it is from the exclusive P.O.V. rooftop bar lounge."
DK Eyewitness "Located next to the White House, many of its rooms have superb views of the White House or the Capitol. Its exceptional service continues in a luxurious setting."
Star Service "In a 10-story Italian Renaissance building with beaux-arts trappings, this is a modern interpretation of the oldest hotel in town, appealing to everyone's inner hipster." Full review
BlackBook "Ye Olde Hotel Washington rises from the ashes with a glaring, tell-all "W" on its brow. Thoughtful redesign plays on former grandiosity with sly, tongue-in-cheek touch."
Zagat3.7
"A "high-class" historic hotel made "fresh" with a "chic", "sleek" design, this "trendy" venue pulls in a "younger" crowd with assets like a "beautiful" rooftop bar offering the "best view in town"."
Gayot "Situated on Fifteenth Street in Washington DC, the W is the closest hotel to the White House grounds."
Travel + Leisure "The W Washington, D.C. Hotel is the place to see the nation's capital." Full review
Fodor's "It's hip, sleek, very cool, and just steps from the White House." Full review

DK Eyewitness "A classic hotel with complimentary shoe shines, and multilingual staff."
Rough Guide "Sumptuous Washington classic featuring a promenade – a vast, imperial hall – and smart rooms with subtle, tasteful furnishings; the terrific Café Promenade restaurant is much in demand."
Michelin Guide "A perennial favorite of frequent visitors, the Mayflower flaunts the splendor of Washington's golden age along busy Connecticut Avenue."
Gayot "The block-long lobby boasts a lovely mezzanine level and large skylights, and teems with activity during working hours --- it is an accessible public cut-through from Connecticut Avenue to 17th Street."
BlackBook "Roaring twenties opulence meets twenty-first century pomp with purpose."
Zagat3.8
"There's "plenty of history" at this longtime host of presidents (and a few of their mistresses), a "venerable" circa-1925 landmark that "impresses" with an "extremely attentive" staff."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Although not the exclusive enclave it once was, this hotel remains regal in its public spaces, with lots of frills and marble, and a beautiful grand ballroom." Full review
Star Service "In a prime location three long blocks north of Lafayette Park and the White House, across the street from National Geographic Headquarters and its museum." Full review
