Concierge "This cavernous Beaux Arts masterpiece has been the centerpiece of official Washington since it opened in 1850."
Travel + Leisure "Today's Willard, a bit like the political world it esteems, is grand in public, though a little bland in private." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This is certainly among the most historic of hotels. Epochal events, including the birth of the League of Nations, were discussed here by principal figures."
Star Service "The regularly maintained accommodations all feature a traditional decor of high ceilings, dark-stained period furniture, classic color schemes and traditional window treatments." Full review
BlackBook "Washington's Waldorf Astoria, even designed by the same guy. A whole lotta shit has gone down in these marble halls which are literally made of marble."
Zagat4.0
""Nothing compares to the service at the Willard" swoon supporters of the "impeccable" staff at this "grand old hotel" oozing "history and elegance"."
Frommer's "This is one of D.C.'s finest hotels, and certainly its most historic, having served as temporary home to two presidents... and as the setting for many historic events." Full review

"The larger of Washington's two Ritz-Carltons, this 300-room Foggy Bottom outpost offers the whole Ritz-Carlton package." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The biggest nod to modernity, though, comes with the second- and third-floor Sports Club/LA fitness center; its 100,000 square feet of fat-burning splendor and huge spa are open to guests for a fee." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Ritz-Carlton provides the finest quality furnishings – Egyptian cotton sheets and down pillows – to make guests comfortable."
Michelin Guide "This luxury Washington hotel brings sought after amenities to the West End. The wood paneled lobby features comfortable seating and a fireplace."
Star Service "Marriott's hand is well-disguised here, with uber-deluxe traditionalism standing out in a city with a new-found love of bold modern and boutique style. " Full review
Gayot "Centrally located in Washington D.C., this Ritz-Carlton offers a quiet world of luxury amongst the streets of a thriving city."
Zagat4.2
""Like a fairy tale for grown-ups", this West End venue is "pure luxury", from the "lavish" accommodations (all with iPod docks and bathrooms boasting soaking tubs) to the "personalized" service."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars

Time Out "Both reassuringly traditional and warmly welcoming, the Ritz-Carlton is definitely a hotel for off-duty enjoyment as well as business stays." Full review
