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
