meredith kerekesMarch 20, 2017Classic, old school D.C. luxury. One block from White House. Do not miss Off The Record, the hotel bar in the basement. Don't forget to take some of the caricature coasters of recent pols.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantOctober 28, 2015Great old hotel with impeccable service. It's also supposedly haunted. Great view of the White House from 9th floor dining room.
Travel + LeisureJanuary 4, 2013This Beaux-Arts icon holds pride of place at the White House’s front door. At night, the hotel’s Off the Record bar is the after-work hangout for politicos of all stripes.
Ingvild M. PlosivDecember 14, 2015Fantastic hotel, great service and lovely people, but crazy expensive breakfast. Had American breakfast, and asked for two slices of toast extra. Those two slices of normal bread: 12 dollars. Wow.Upvoted 4 days ago- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJuly 29, 2017It's on haunted places list-a nice stopover when touring historic sites. Staff were accommodating. Nice wood-bar downstairs, updated Classic old-world styles in downtown walking distance to everything

Sunday brunch in the Lafayette dining room is an experience.Check out "Off the Record" bar. Never know who you might run into.
