Laura Howe: The back bar has the best bartenders in the place. It's also the best place in town for a DC power breakfast. Excellent people watching in the am.
Melissa DelaCalzada: Brunch: The Breakfast Club - french toast, stuffed with ham/cheese, wrapped in bacon, baked crisp with vermont Maple Syrup... OMG!!!! Skip the fruit and order a side of cheddar grits.
Page Bennett: Very good baked apple french toast
Whitney Beatty: free cook to order breakfast AND free happy hour every night make this place a WIN!
Eric Sine: On the + side: 1) breakfast is off the hook! 2) managers reception pretty damn good, but need better etoh. On the - side: 1) need wireless throught!
Michelle S.: Free breakfast, free happy hour, what's not to like? Also, some of the older comments are now outdated. The hotel has been renovated and is very nice.

Colleen N: From Washingtonian: lemon yogurt pancakes, cheddar and maple bacon bfast sandwich, fruit parfait.
Terry Romano: Beautiful hotel and great breakfast
Shangqi Wu: Great location, spacious room and good service. It's an honor to stay in this historic hotel. Breakfast should be tier 1, only compared within American hotels. Food choices are fewer than Asian IHGs.
Guido Gybels: Great hotel, in amazing building. Great location next to the White House and within walking distance from the Mall and several interesting museums. Try crab cakes in Café du Parc, they are amazing!

Tapas Restaurant · Downtown-Penn Quarter-Chinatown · 4 tips and reviews
Elizabeth Burstein: Loved the bfast paella, the meat and cheese plate, cherry lime sangria, shishito peppers
D F: Take green beans and meatballs for kids. Consider patatas brevas as filler but since portions so big- no need
Joaco M: Service and their tapas are awesome!
Ozge Kesim Yurtsever: They didn’t serve a breakfast on Saturday morning, they just offered a overpriced brunch.. I don’t recommend this place.
Amy Brockway-Jackl: Very good weekend brunch with everything from scrambled eggs, to salads and bbq. Highlight is the fresh-baked donuts and pastries made in house.
Brooke Weimar: Chips and dips — amazing shareable! Ask the bartender to make you a drink based on a flavor profile.

Josh Higgins: The free breakfast for members is a must. Plus it is a great place for reporters to file stories if you're working downtown.
Fairfax City Reporter: I went to the National Press club for training event. It was beautifully ornamented with flag of every country inside of the well preserved National Press club in Washington DC.
Mark Hamrick: Not everyone is aware the fabulous Fourth Estate restaurant is open to the public. With a new executive chef and frequent diner benefits available through Opentable.com, it is a great value! Read more.
