We try to stay at different properties each time we’re in DC. We’ll be hard-pressed to find one that is better than the Jefferson. The rooms sparkled, the staff were incredibly helpful, the amenities were spot-on, and the location was great.

Will stay there again when in the area, a great gem not affiliated with any major hotel chain. You can meet the hotel historian in the book room on Saturday mornings for coffee!
