I stayed at this hotel while traveling for business and had a very positive experience. The property is well maintained, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax after a busy workday. I especially want to recognize Sasha for providing excellent service during my stay. Sasha was professional, attentive, and very helpful, making sure everything went smoothly from arrival through the duration of my visit. It’s clear that Sasha takes pride in delivering a high level of hospitality. Overall, a reliable and comfortable place to stay for business travel. I would gladly stay here again.

"The perfect stay in DC"

10.0

Just back from three nights at The Jefferson over MLKJr weekend. Check-in was very personal, my suite was comfortable and spacious, dining at The Greenhouse was enjoyable, and drinks at Quill were fun. Above all, the service is the reason I have stayed at this Washington classic more often than not when in town. I can't say enough good things about the friendly and professional staff. Everyone is eager to help with any issue or need. The hotel is elegant, intimate, pleasant, and spotless - in short, the perfect stay.

"The Jefferson DC Fits Well for a Safe, Elegant Place to Stay for Families"

10.0

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.

"Favorite DC hotel"

10.0

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.

"The Premier D.C. Experience!"

10.0

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.!

"A Lovely Christmastime Visit!"

10.0

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!

"Superb Experience!"

10.0

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.

"Elegant and Intimate Jefferson"

10.0

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.
