We have included all charges provided to us by this hotel. However, charges can vary, for example, based on length of stay or the room you book.
Downtown DC is awash with culture. The Smithsonian Institution museum complex flanks the National Mall. The Washington Monument bisects the Mall, just south of the White House. Federal agency headquarters house bureaucrats of varying stripes. Moneyed and powerful lobbyists help create (and quash) laws from K Street. Chinatown and the Washington Convention Center lie east of downtown.

"Great Location and wonderful staff!"
We enjoyed our stay. The staff goes out of their way to make things right for the guests. The only complaint we had was the noise level between the room next door and the room above us....you could hear alot of "creaking" when people were walking on the floor above and people next door were very loud. However, the hotel staff is great and they make […] you feel very welcome. Everything we did was within walking distance and that was GREAT! WOuld have liked a coffee maker in the room.

"disappointed with room but very impressed with the"
Great location across from the White House. Outstanding service. The staff from check in, concierge and restaurant are extremely well trained and excellent service without attempting to be overly friendly and familiar with guests---true professionals! disappointed with the room ----we were given a room right in front of the elevators and one which is […] designed for handicapped guests which meant relatively sparse furniture and a bathroom which was most inconvenient especially a shower area (not a shower stall) with shower curtain resulting in the bathroon floor getting very wet and messy and slippery.

"Excellent Experience"
We had a lovely stay in this grand hotel. All aspects of our stay were exceptional. I thought hotels of this caliber were no longer existent in the US, but our stay proved me wrong!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just what we hoped for for our family vacation."
The hotel met our expectations in every way. They made us feel special which is hard to do when you are staying at a large hotel. This hotel is intimate - a real gem!Genuine Expedia guest review
"classic, beautiful hotel with superb service"
Hotel is lovely, view of white house unbeatable, staff could not have been better -- all were warm and welcoming. Gave our eight your old daughter special attention, which she loved. Even took the time and trouble to find her doll's lost shoe in our valet-parked car. Would stay again in a heartbeat.Genuine Expedia guest review

"We were special!"
We have stayed in many nice hotels on the east coast, but never one where the entire staff made us feel so special to be their guests! We were there to celebrate a special birthday, and twice, once in their wonderful restaurant and on the evening on the birthday in our room, we received a wonderful dessert, with candles and a sincere note of good wishes. […] The location is great, the ammenities over the top, the beauty unmatched, but the best part of our stay was the quality and sincereity of the staff to help in any way possible! We won't wait for another special occasion to return! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Amazing"
The hotel, staff, room, view, location...everything was amazing! Well worth the price. I could go on and on but it's not necessary. Amazing sums it up!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful Setting, Great Food and a Super Staff"
There was nothing about our stay that was not "five star". The Hay Adams is beautiful, perfectly clean and staffed by some of the most talented, bright and friendly people I have ever had the good fortune to deal with during a hotel stay. On our first evening we had drinks and a tasty supper at the bar in the hotel (Off the Record); we noticed some […] true Washington luminaries and we really enjoyed the relaxed setting. The next evening we had a special anniversary dinner with our children in the impeccable dining room (The Lafayette), and we were treated to top-notch cuisine by a staff that made us feel special and appreciated in every way. If you have a chance to stay at the Hay Adams, to have a drink and some food at Off the Record, and/or to dine at the Lafayette, do so! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Best hotel in DC"

"Close to the best part of Washington"
I was traveling with my wife and kids and stayed here because of the location. It couldn't have been better. The hotel staff was great and friendly. Even at midnight they were helpful, as I called asking for a screwdriver to fix my laptop computer. I will definitely stay here when I go back to DCGenuine Expedia guest review
"Top notch"
Hotel was so nice the staff made me feel like i was a amaillionaire. Kids loved the toilet it shoots water on your toosh.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The most comfortable night's sleep of my life"
DC is my former home and I wanted to share the unparalleled 4th of July celebration on the mall with my son and husband. I had never had reason to stay at the Hay but always wanted to and now I know why everyone raves about the staff, rooms, and the basement bar (where you can feel the ghosts of our country's powerful decision makers). Suffering from […] the July humidity, we were welcomed back from our museum jaunts with a cold bottle of water and a smile. And rarely do you actually look to see what brand the mattress is at a hotel, but this was so comfy, we did! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"The Good and the Not So Good"
The staff at the hotel were great! Very helpful, friendly, willing to serve and please. Our greatest disappointment was the placement of our room. It was off an alley that was very busy in the morning with truck noise, etc. There was also construction going on nearby all night long. We had even requested a room not facing the alley due to another review […] we had read about the noise level. The windows did not block out the noise. In fact, you could hear and feel air coming through them. Also, we wanted to got to The Top of the Hay for photos of the view that the website talks about, but was not allowed unless they we setting up for an event. We asked the front desk and concierge and were not allowed up. Good food at Off The Record down stairs. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"2012 Easter Stay"
My initial room was too cramped for three people. When I asked to be moved into a room with a queen bed and a rollaway, the hotel was very accommodating. The bar was great, the restaurant was too, and the location was unbeatable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hay-Adams disappointment"
Fancy hotel in a very good location in DC. Very good service from staff. Also pretty pricey, but that was expected. However, the bed was uncomfortable, and no matter how far down I turned the temperature on the thermostat, the room temperature would not go below 72. I had high hopes of a great experience, but I am disappointed to say the experience […] was not worth the price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Perfection Near the Potomac"
It doesn't get better than the Hay Adams this side of the Atlantic. Cozy, impeccable - and the location could not possibly be better. Get a room with a White House view, stop by Off the Record for a cocktail and a burger, and turn in early to enjoy the perfect beds. Breakfast in the Lafayette is delicious and leisurely. Everyone on staff is thrilled […] to lend a hand. It's America's answer to Claridge's in every sense. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Very good - but not for light sleepers"
The hotel is charming without being overdone. The entrance, restaurant and other common areas are lovely but the rooms have low ceilings which take some of that charm away. Our stay would have been perfect if the garbage collection didn't take place every night from 2-3.30pm (you know that sound when the bottles are tipped into the recycling bin... […] .)

"The Hay- Adams: A most exceptional hotel"
The Hay-Adams Hotel is an outstanding hotel and the only place to stay if you are visiting Washington, D.C. and want a 5-star hotel. It is directly across from the White House and therefore in a perfect location to visit the National Mall, monuments, museums etc. as well as being close to Georgetown. The hotel is a beautiful historic building and the […] lobby is wonderfully scented by a giant bouquet of white roses. The rooms are absolutely lovely with high ceilings, original molding (ours had a large bay window as well), the beds and bed linens are in natural tones and are so lush and luscious it is hard to get out of bed to go sightseeing! The service is incomparable. I had a formal dinner to go to on Saturday night, discovered that I needed some emergency tailoring on my gown and the concierge got a tailor to come to my room, pick up my dress, and had it ready for me 3 hours later! It was just amazing. And after your weekend or stay- don't miss the Sunday champagne brunch, which is outstanding. I travel all over the world for my work and the Hay-Adams Hotel is my very favorite hotel in the U.S. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"beautiful beginning for memorable vacation"
I have eaten at the Hay-Adams after visiting the White House with friends and family. This is the first time I have stay overnight. From the superb service to the gracious staff it was the perfect visit. Everyone at the hotel took our requests and made the stay delightful and truly memorable. From the wonderful dinner recommendation from the concierge […] (The Source-superb) to getting to Union Station with all our luggage, everything was perfect. I cannot wait for our return visit.

"very good hotel"
This hotel deserves the good ratings it gets, and not just for the beautiful, old money ambiance, but also for the courtesy, unfailing helpfulness, and happy demeanor of the staff. We had excellent service, good meals, and attention to all our needs.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very Nice, But Not "Overlooking the White House""
Hotel and room were very nice, but room was a little on the small side, and overlooked a "central courtyard" (for mechanical equipment, etc.), which provided light but not much of a view. Staff were freiendly and extremely helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
room was very, very cold when we got in and it took us 2 follow-up calls for someone to come up. I wouldn't have minded but my older parents were with me so they were uncomfortable. I wanted to treat my parents to a nice and historical hotel such as The Willard but I was disappointed. The restaurant on the premise Cafe du Parc was not impressive either. […] However, the staff were courteous and you cant beat the location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hay Adams is Everything and More!"
My family has stayed at the finest hotels and views (our thing) in the country for our annual vacations. I was worried the history and old style surroundings of Hay Adams would not excite my 14 & 16 year old daughters. However, even they recognized the once in a lifetime view of the White House outside your bedroom window at night, the (above) superior […] service from the doorman to the desk clerk, and the truly unique and yes, historic feeling you have when staying there. Walking in to Barbara Bush and the entire Secret Service when we arrived gave us an unexpected view as well LOL. Please note the view (at extra cost) of the White House, and getting to watch Secret Service on the roof and their activities, made the trip. Standard rooms have no view and would not have made the experience the same. I'm glad I spent the extra money and upgraded prior to arrival with the hotel - who were VERY accomodating in explaining my options and various prices. They treated us no differently the the Bush's. Incredible. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Luxury and convenience."
Our room was comfortable and well decorated. The bed was perhaps the comfiest hotel bed ever! The location can't be beat: walking distance to the White House, Smithsonian, etc. Concierge was very helpful with sightseeing and dining arrangements. Will definitely go back!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Best Hotel, Service & location one could want"
Go look at their web site. Everything they say is true. The service is excellent, with a staff that is professional and acts as if they care. Always professional, always on top of your every need. Rooms are wonderful, and made my kids say "OOOH!" Concierge service beyond the norm, and available until 11PM, but they stayed even later when I said I needed […] help planning something the next day. The dining room and the food was perfect, even if the power breakfast crowd in their suits give it an interesting feel. Great food on Wedgewood china. Lovely. I could go on & on, but it would be more of the same. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A Terrific Classic Hotel in D.C."
If you're looking for a charming, classic hotel within walking distance of the sights, you will love the Hay-Adams. Staff are very professional but also warm and welcoming. The concierge was especially helpful in organizing excursions around D.C. Rooms are charming, clean and comfortable. It's a older building so closet space is limited and the plumbing […] is a little creaky but that's the price you pay for staying in such a landmark. The restaurant is OK - I would suggest dining outside the hotel. The bar is expensive but the pours are generous. The location, literally across the street from the White House, can't be beat. I plan to return again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
