Attended a women's philanthropy circle summit here and the hotel was perfect blend of elegance and luxury, without being over the top. It struck just the right vibe for this gathering. The club level lounge on the 8th floor was nice, but scaled down from what you would find at the Ritz or Four Seasons. The bed linens were soft... More

I've stayed here over a half dozen times on various DC visits for business and pleasure, so these are general impressions gathered over time. The building design provides for some odd room layouts. Generally price maps well to room quality (duh). For instance, lower priced junior suites are smaller and some are located over the main entry. These tend to... More

We have just passed a delightful Friday night at The Mandarin Oriental. Our request for an upper floor was immediately granted with an upgrade, and the room was perfectly appointed. The bed could not have been more comfortable, and the shower/bathroom was perfect. Our water view was to the east, away from The Jefferson Memorial, but interesting none-the-less. Tea and... More

We were recently in DC for the Nike Women's Half Marathon. We opted to stay at the Mandarin as we have stayed here in the past and have got to know the area fairly well. I'll start with the Pro's since those far exceed the Con's. First is the service at this hotel is like nothing I have ever received... More

I have stayed at the Mandarin Oriental DC several times. The service is always outstanding and I had always had an amazing experience. It is well located, while not being in the middle of DC's downtown, which for some might be not convenient if you just want to walk. However, an easy 3 minute ride in a cab will put... More

We stayed here with the kids during Spring Break. We had an amazing experience. We were a bit worried it wouldn't be very "kid friendly" but the opposite was true. Everyone was super helpful and attentive....starting at check-in when they gave the kids stuffed pandas. The bell staff was awesome...and not easily flustered by the amount of stuff we were... More

We stayed for three nights and wish it could have been longer. Rooms are large and beautiful. Call housekeeping for an in room coffee pot though. Staff is attentive and welcoming and it is an easy walk to the mall and the metro. Didn't have a chance to visit the spa.

The service here was unbelievably terrible. We waited over an hour for a kettle only to not have it show up. Then we gave up and went to bed to have to wake up not long after to answer the door bell because the guy that was supposed to bring the kettle apparently had a hard time reading the persons... More

Great hotel, excellent location - within a few blocks of the museums and sites. Stayed here with my wife and kids during Nike's Inaugural Women's Half in DC. Check-in was smooth...they even gave the kids some stuffed pandas. Staff was courteous. Food was a bit on the high end...but to be expected at this type of hotel. Would stay here... More
