The Jefferson, Washington, DC

Hospitality from the staff and manager was absolutely outstanding, warm welcoming and yet very professional. The rooms are always with a feeling of fresh and details a full of attention

We enjoy the Jefferson and have stayed there previously. The check in was easy, the staff impeccable with their assistance, and the hotel is flawless. The nightly fee for parking a car there was over our budget so we took an Uber from the airport. Our room was on the small side this time, and when I inquired about the square footage being different on the website, I was advised it was including the bathroom in the specs. I wish I had known to ask ahead of our stay for the room with the seating bench at the end of the King Size bed since my husband and I have enjoyed room service in this manner as a gift to ourselves after a long flight. We spent several nights at the Jefferson in May 2025, and the bed was comfortable with luxurious linens. We rested well. I gave the hotel a 5 star review, nearly a 4 star instead, due to discovering after our check-out that we were charged extra for two items from the mini-bar that we did not use. I was assured they would be credited to our account, but it took a second call for the refund to actually occur. I was advised the mini bar has a weight sensor in it, so if something is taken out there will be a charge incurred. I let the staff member know that we used the refrigerator of the mini bar to keep eft-overs cold, but consumed nothing from the bar. If you decide to stay there, you may want to be aware of this easy-to-overlook-overcharge. A great stay overall, and highly recommend for location, walkability to sights, cleanliness, service, and comfort. The gift of a bottled water upon arrival is a delicious touch of class. Thanks to all of the staff, they are amazing.

Great service.

I was incredibly satisfied with my stay at The Jefferson. Classic charm and styling mixed with luxury. The room itself was incredibly clean, albeit a little small but given the age of the building itself I have zero complaints about it. As someone who usually stays in 3 star hotels for business travel, the cleanliness standard is VERY HIGHLY appreciated. Front of house staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the complimentary snacks and water provided about an hour into my stay were unexpected but made for a vastly more inclusive experience. The ability to order room service, housekeeping and other services from the provided tablet and app were also greatly appreciated. Knowing anything I could need was just a few taps away added to the excellence of my stay. Overall I would 100% recommend this property for anyone coming to the DC area who is looking for a high class experience, in a charming, comfortable and well kept old hotel.

This is an elegant, classy hotel…the staff is superb…do not miss the breakfast/brunch in the Greenhouse restaurant. The location is great 10 minutes to any and all the top sites in D. C. If you can book one of the mini-suites do it well worth it.

Beautiful hotel everywhere spotlessly clean and excellent service from checking in, breakfast and the valet. Our room was spacious and furniture in great condition. Mattress and bedding excellent. The location of this hotel is great within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and all the famous sights. Great value for money, will definitely be staying here on our next visit to DC.

We try to stay at different properties each time we’re in DC. We’ll be hard-pressed to find one that is better than the Jefferson. The rooms sparkled, the staff were incredibly helpful, the amenities were spot-on, and the location was great.

This facility is 1st rate all the way. From gourmet breakfast to the bar and staff. I can’t say enough how professional and yet friendly the staff are. Location is great with only a short walk to the white house. Rooms were lovely and VERY CLEAN. I wouldn't change a thing. 5 plus stars in my book.

My stay at The Jefferson was perfect. The people at the hotel are wonderful the food 5 star we enjoyed the terrace to smoke some Cigars. Amazing experience I highly recommend this Hotel

A fantastic place to stay, near everything, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make my toddler feel welcome and were so fun and engaging. I’ve stayed at a lot of places in the DC area but this is now going to be my favorite simply for how well you’re treated and how well they treat their staff and grounds.
