Old-guard glamour by Lafayette Square
The Hay-Adams plays to Washington’s classic side, with 1928 Italian Renaissance architecture, intricate ceilings, and wainscoting set in a calm cream-and-light-gray palette. Days begin in The Lafayette’s sunlit dining room and end downstairs at Off the Record, a clubby red-carpet hideaway lined with political caricatures. Between, the 24-hour fitness center keeps the pace easy to keep up.
White House across the square
Step out to Lafayette Square, with the White House just across it.Legendary bar energy
Off the Record brings a cheeky political scene with cocktails and light bites.Dining with a day-to-night glow
The Lafayette shifts from bright mornings to candlelit evenings.
