This hotel has a wonderful location and a lovely atmosphere that feels European. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I arrived mid-morning expecting to leave my bag with the concierge and they very kindly gave me a room right away.

I stay at the Sofitel whenever I visit D.C., and it never fails to meet my lofty expectations. The bedding is fabulous, the croissants from the hotel's Urban Bistro are the best I've ever tasted, and the staff is attentive and welcoming. The location of the hotel, just a few blocks from the White House, makes it ideal for sightseeing.... More

Watch out for drinks here at the bar. Very expensive relative to other DC bars and while the service is good, it can end up being a big bar bill. The wine choices are okay but nothing special. It has a nice outdoor area for dinner which is nice.

Excellent location for main tourits sites. 5-10 minute walk to Washington monument and National Mall. Had not stayed in a Sofitel brand hotel before but would certainly consider it on future travels. Very comfortable room ( Standard King), did not eat in the restaurant or the bar but was busy and seemed fine. Couple of nice restaurants within walking distance.

I have recently given up on staying at the "charming," boutique hotels and now prefer the old reliables. Couldn't get into the Hay-Adams but I found this hotel to be somewhat better value and excellently located for my business meetings in DC. The staff is attentive and helpful, the rooms are relatively large, and the bathrooms are clean and accesible,... More

Although I only stayed one night at this hotel the service we recieved was great. The location is wonderful for sightseeing and the staff were very friendly. Our room was a bit on the dreary dark side but the beds and bedding were comfortable.

A Sofitel is always a safe option and picked this one due to its location a block from the White House. Initial impressions were very good, quality service by all concerned and an upgrade!

Upscale rooms with excellent staff. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet. Attentive and professional staff, good restaurant and lounge. Expensive breakfast but not unanticipated. Would stay again.

My husband and I were disappointed that our usual Omni Shoreham Hotel in DC was completely booked for our yearly visit to DC. After researching so many hotels with apprehension, we chose the Sofitel for our visit because of many positive reviews, and because it was located close to many of the restaurants and places that we wanted to experience....
