A gem!

10.0

The Jefferson is a wonderful hotel, a real gem, with a wonderful atmosphere and amazing staff. This boutique hotel is superbly positioned just a 5 minute walk from The White House and walking distance to the many museums. The rooms are well appointed with huge very comfortable beds - the bathroom has an amazingly powerful shower which is very welcome after treading the sidewalks of DC each day. I must make mention of Ryan and Omar who went out of their way to help my wife and myself. Nothing was too much trouble and they took a genuine interest in assisting ourselves and other guests. Having travelled to many countries over the years, I don’t think I have encountered the level of service they provided - they are both a great asset to The Jefferson and hope we cross paths again in the future!

Nicest Hotel, Great drinks at bar

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Truly loved our time here

DC’s best pet friendly hotel!

10.0

Beautiful hotel with absolutely amazing staff. We traveled with our Siberian Husky, and she was genuinely welcomed—something that made our stay even more special. The dog bed, along with water and food bowls, was truly above and beyond our expectations. We also loved the dog-friendly patio at the hotel bar, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. Thank you to everyone at The Jefferson for such a thoughtful and memorable experience. We will absolutely be back.

Beautiful Hotel & Wonderful People

10.0

The Jefferson is a beautiful hotel, and their staff is exceptional. I’ve had the privilege of traveling extensively and staying at some of the world’s best hotels, and the manager, Omar, is in a class of his own. He was warm, hospitable, and friendly. He remembered us by name, and we genuinely looked forward to seeing his smiling face after a long day of exploring the city. Ultimately, the people are what make an experience memorable, and his attention to detail and professionalism is why this hotel stands apart.

Refined, caring and with a soul

10.0

The Jefferson is the best hotel in Washington, period. It is elegant, yet not stuffy; the staff is caring and well-trained, and the facilities are relaxing. The best feature by far is the attentive staff, from reception to waiters and hostesses: all are extremely professional and courteous. The rooms vary in size, but all are comfortable. The room my wife and I stayed in had a large closet and drawers, truly scarce now in hotels designed for short stays. We stayed for five days and the closet and drawers were absolutely a necessity. The Greenhouse (dining room) offers a delightful breakfast and The Quill (the bar) comes alive at night. My favorite part of the hotel: the Library! Small but with a great selection of books. Due to weather issues in February and March we had to extend our reservations twice, and, sure enough, on both occasions the staff worked to allow us to stay, and to stay in the same room. We have been staying at The Jefferson for many years, and, it has become our home away from home. The caring staff are its soul.
