The Jefferson, Washington, DC

My family’s four-night stay was excellent. From Ryan and the team at front desk, the gentlemen who greet you at front door, dining and room service staff, concierge Omar and others.
Everyone was courteous and responded to questions on sites to see with kids, Metro and walking directions and tips on holiday attractions.
Missed elegant Greenhouse since was with younger kids though meals from Quill allowed us to eat in privacy with a toddler in Cabinet rooms.
Gym in basement fits bill for vacation workouts and is clean with punching bag and free weight dumbbells to keep fit.
And Deluxe Suite room offers comfortable sofa bed for kids and excellent king bed for parents. As well soaking tub, shower and TV within mirror are excellent.

There is no other place I want to stay in DC. My mom and I took a weekend trip and loved every aspect of the property from arrival with the staff to cocktails at Quill, brunch and dinner at the Greenhouse and the room and location. This past weekend had nicer weather for December, so we were able to walk from the hotel to the African American Museum, White House and other monuments.

Beautiful facility, very well maintained. 15 min walk to DuPont and White House. Staff 100% very friendly, courteous, attentive and helpful. Very good breakfast at the Greenhouse restaurant. Bartenders were friendly, excellent selection at the Quill bar. Would definitely stay again.

I travel extensively and I would rate the Jefferson among the very best hotels in the world! The service was exceptional across the board and the location is in the heart of the action in D.C.. My suite was a private and cozy oasis with a comfortable sitting room parlor and deep soaking tub. The Quill Bar is a delight with outstanding cocktails, tasty bites, top-notch service and an intimate atmosphere. Mike the bartender makes a delicious martini and the Quill burger and oysters are a must. The Jefferson makes every guest feel special and every aspect of my experience was exceptional. I did not want to leave and cannot wait to return! The Jefferson is my go-to in D.C.!

The Jefferson DC is a true gem situated at the top of Embassy Row but still convenient to all of the sites. After being a Hilton loyalist and staying at many properties in the city, this may just be my home base from now on after the hospitality and level of service The Jefferson and its team demonstrate for a five-star hotel.

Being there during Christmastime also brought that extra level of magic to this property! The decorations are exquisite from the moment you walk in and carry into The Greenhouse restaurant, The Quill, and book room

Be sure to stop by the concierge to learn about the history of the property along with the documents displayed in the lobby area signed by Thomas Jefferson.

We were graciously upgraded from a classic to a deluxe room and this is another reason why this property is special. They have thought of every little touch. A complimentary shoe shine, filtered water in glass bottles, incredible robes and slippers, lovely bathroom amenities, a tv in the bathroom mirror (yes you read that correctly!), a very nice turndown service, a large closet, furnishings and decor, and twice a day housekeeping. The beds are great!

We had drinks and apps at The Quill which were so so fun and delicious as well as oysters that were fantastic. Breakfast at The Greenhouse was WOW. The avocado toast was a piece of artwork and the crispy potatoes were a fun play on hash browns.

All in all we had the very best stay and met wonderful people who make The Jefferson DC a superb property from the doormen to new food and bev manager. Thank you for a fabulous visit!

The staff at The Jefferson is superb. The doormen, bell staff and reception team offered a VIP welcome and ensured that our every need was fulfilled. Our room was well-appointed and spacious. Our expansive bathroom was equipped with dual sinks, a soaking tub and a generous shower.

The Jefferson is centrally located. Walk on fine days or access the best of Washington (White House, Capitol, Smithsonian Museums, Kennedy Center, Georgetown, shopping, dining) with a 5-10 minute cab ride.

The Greenhouse restaurant provides a lovely brunch and lavish breakfasts, both with thoughtful, attentive service. The cast-iron baked eggs are a must at brunch. We tremendously enjoyed a nightcap at Quill, the Jefferson’s cozy bar.

Take time to savor the Jefferson’s historic details. The marquee over the front door is both embracing and dramatic, and the lobby is stately. The Book Room is a quaint library filled with reproductions of 17th and 18th century books, supplemented by recent volumes written and signed by guests of the hotel. Most strikingly, documents signed by Thomas Jefferson, including presidential papers and a salary cheque to his coachman, are displayed in a hallway off the lobby. The hotel has its own historian, who is available to the public from 9 am — 1 pm on Saturdays.

We look forward to returning to this exceptional hotel.

My family enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at the Greenhouse dining room with drinks later at the Quill, fun and historic. Manager Sasha made our multi day trip very smooth and pleasant. The intimate Jefferson stands apart from other hotels in DC.

The Jefferson is a great hotel. It’s historic, extremely well appointed and comfortable, in a great central location. The staff went above and beyond to anticipate every need. I expected a five star hotel and it met my high expectations .

This is my favorite DC hotel, both for the accommodations and the kindness and warmth of the staff. Highly recommended.

The Jefferson in D.C. is a historic and elegant 5-star hotel that is reasonably priced and located centrally in the city. We will certainly be back and would not consider staying anywhere else in Washington D.C.

💕When your DC hotel has its own resident historian, you know you’ve picked a great place to stay! I can’t say enough about this incredible hotel: beautiful, historically restored, luxurious, primo location, and impeccable service! Why would you stay anywhere else!

The Jefferson Hotel Bar is one of the finest establishments in DC - great food, ambient atmosphere, and ideal location.

But there’s only reason I come back here again and again: the bar staff.

Special praise for Andrew, who is engaging and efficient in equal measure, a great ambassador for the Jefferson.

As a DC resident, it’s my pleasure to recommend the Jefferson Hotel Bar (and its staff) to my clients.

We stayed at the Jefferson for only one night but it couldn’t have been better! Every single person there is friendly and more than accommodating.
Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a bigger room. They left us yummy snacks and gave us tips on where to go. This was so helpful because the government was shut down and some of the things we wanted to see were closed.
We were greeted by the staff every time we left or returned. They were so nice and engaging. They truly made us feel at home!

We visited the bar to have drinks and snacks. The bartenders and staff are simply amazing. It is very quaint and, if you are lucky, they have an amazing piano player. We only caught a little bit of the live music but it was wonderful.
In the morning, we had breakfast in the restaurant. It is truly a 5 star experience and we are sorry we did not get to enjoy dinner the night before. Mauve next time.

We had a little snafu at check out as we got to our destination and one piece of luggage was missing. It was a disaster averted, however, because they drove it to us and even called the next morning to apologize. In retrospect, it was equally my fault because I did not check the back of the car to be sure it was all there. We are very appreciative for the extra effort. We will definitely be back!

Jefferson Hotel is a gem. We stayed there three nights and LOVED every minute of it.
The manager Omar was exceptional, cheerful, wonderful and a terrific problem solver. I appreciated his efforts and profesionalism. Concierge Paul was very impressive. I tired to describe a restaurant I visited in January and showed him the photo of the room, I just couldn't remember the name. Paul was able to identify and book the dinner for us. The breakfast was divine. I love eggs benedict but my goodness, they cooked the eggs perfectly, just how I like them, all three mornings in the row. I enjoyed the bath and shower's high water pressure... Wonderful staff all the way around, great location and peaceful elegance. I am sorry I didn't write the review sooner but we had to let our dog go to the Rainbow bridge. Keep up good work and I hope to see you soon. Anna

I travel only if I can stay in 5-7 star hotels so I am what they call a hotel snob. Jefferson by far is the hotel I love most even having stayed in Dubai's 7 stars. The friendliness of the staff who truly loving working there and the above and beyond service, cleanliness, attention to every detail, upgrades that they don't have to but do anyway, food quality, room comfort all in all I would say by far is the best stay globally.
I look forward to my stays there. The managers Sasha, Merideth and Samar know how to run a hotel. Thank you

I’ve stayed in many luxury hotels. My stay at The Jefferson was the best I’ve ever experienced. Loved the privacy. It’s beautiful as well!

The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable from the moment you enter the door to the friendly chatter at the bar, and the peaceful breakfast at the Greenhouse. The hotel is rich with history and it's designs reflect it so much so you almost feel you were transported to colonial America.

Friendliness

Very well trained staff and clean rooms. They earned their high ratings

A perfect hotel in every way.
