The Hay-Adams is within walking distance of the places we wanted to visit while in DC--the Mall, the Vietnam War Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. Staying at the hotel added to our Washingtonian experience. Public spaces and the rooms were elegant and tasteful. We loved it all--from the gorgeous floral arrangement in the lobby to the comfy robes in the... more

My son and I stayed at the Hay Adams for 5 nights recently for vacation. Upon arrival, we were taken to a room with (1) twin bed and a full size bed which was NOT what we expected or booked given that my son is a college student and 6'6" tall. We waited thirty minutes to find out that all... more

Well guys, I just got back from a long weekend at the Haye Adams and I was very disappointed. I am not quite sure why other Trip Advisor reviewers rave about this hotel so much!?!?! I have come to trust and respect the reviews on this web site, but with the Haye-Adams I just don't get it. I guess it... more

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about my one night at The Hay-Adams. I stayed on the sixth floor, but alas, across the hall from the rooms with a view of the White House. The room rate (per the sign inside the room) was $750 per night - but I was staying on a corporate account and was upgraded upon arrival. I would... more

The Hay-Adams is certainly a Small Luxury Hotel, but when judged at that luxury level, I found some faults. Room size and general amenities are at an expected level. Bathroom cabinetry was clumsy and towel hanging space poorly designed. Room door was a poor fit and allowed the glaring light from corridor in on 3 sides, and I could only... more

Beautiful boutique hotel - amazing location right across the park from the White House. Quiet area, with churches and trees and flowers. Room was decorated in soft whites and fresh materials. Service was kind and friendly. Highly, highly recommend staying here. more

Perfection is an elusive idea, so that one could always discuss about details diverging from it. This dutifully said in advance, I’ pleased to report that every detail during our stay at Hay-Adams in Washington spoiled us in the most desirable way , so that looking for something less than ideal would be a useless waste of time. Besides a... more

It was thrilling to introduce our ten year-old daughter to Washington, D.C. with a stay at a such a memorable hotel. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the air was chilly, but the ambience was warm and inviting. Breakfast was leisurely and abundant. It may have been obvious to those around us that we were just tourists, but... more

Three nights at this superlative location, at the height of cherry-blossom season, made for the nicest hotel stay I've ever had, anywhere. (Full disclosure: we were the guests of very generous family members so I don't know what the cost was.) The welcome and amenities were exceptional, the staff genuinely cheerful and eager to help with advice. And the room,... more
