Wonderful experience at The Jefferson. Beautiful hotel. The room was spacious and exceptionally clean. Best shower with incredible water pressure! We had dinner at The Greenhouse and breakfast several days. The food and service were excellent! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this hotel.
The room was beautiful and very clean. The staff was very attentive and thoughtful. The only negative was our breakfast for two was $120 which we thought was pretty pricy. (Two black coffees were $24?)
I had a wonderful stay at The Jefferson Hotel! The property is utterly impeccable clean, stylish, and full of charm. Beyond how beautiful the hotel is, the staff was fantastic from start to finish. Everyone went out of their way to make me/us feel welcome and cared for. If you're looking for top tier service and a spotless stay in D.C., this is the place.
Missed connection at Dulles. Forced to spend 24 hrs in DC. Late night check in after long stressful day. Pissed off on travel issues but got to Jefferson and ahhhhhhh. Crisp, clean room, perfect temperature , cold water and BED! Woke up to great breakfast. Staff super friendly. Great place.
Elegant and centrally located. Except that there was so much else to do, we could have happily settled into the Book Room by the fireplace for hours on end.
The Jefferson is one of the classiest hotels there is — unassuming elegance; well appointed rooms; gracious and competent staff. It is rare to find a hotel that provides such impeccable service at a moment’s notice without the unnecessary hustle and bustle of Grand Central Station in New York City. A calm and comfortable stay is the ultimate luxury that The Jefferson Hotel guarantees its guests.
Several staff members also recognized and acknowledged me from a single visit two years ago. Needless to say, I certainly feel welcome and at home there. Thank you yet again!
This incredible property is filled with history and is in a perfect DC location. Outstanding staff and superior service made this an absolute “must stay” location!
Our entire stay was outstanding. Food, service,friendliness and professionalism of the staff was superb. Our room was impecable. We will stay here from now on when we come to Washinton,DC.
The hotel has been nicely updated. Room was very well appointed. Service was impeccable. There are private lounges for you to hang around if your flight leaves later in the day, which was a bonus for us.
