The Hay Adams

is as close as anyone can get to staying at the White House, short of being invited by the President. The historic hotel has a total of 124 rooms and 21 suites. It is located on Lafayette Square, across from the White House, and within walking distance of the National Mall, Washington Monument, Smithsonian museums, and National Geographic Society. The Hay-Adams has, hands down, the best White House views of any Washington, D.C. property (in fact, its rooftop is a local favorite for private events). Housed in an Italian Renaissance-style mansion that was built in 1928, the hotel is genteel and dignified in the best sense. It’s grand enough for political bigwigs, yet welcoming and down-to-earth for travelers seeking an impeccably elegant base for their visit. The hotel’s 80-plus-year history can still be seen in original details such as ornate plaster moldings, high ceilings, and the walnut paneling in the lobby. Guest rooms are modern, with custom Italian linens, Etro bath amenities, and Bose sound systems. The hotel’s age may imply a sophisticated clientele, but families are made to feel welcome, and children receive nightly turn-down service with milk and cookies. The Hotel was rated by Conde Nast Traveler among the Top 100 Hotels in the United States and is a distinguished member of the Leading Hotels of the World. *One MICHELIN Key Awarded Hotel *Travel and Leisure: World\'s Best Award 2020 Winner #!
