After checking out at the Sofitel New York, we were eager to see if their collegues in DC were able to provide us with the same level of service! Yvette at the front desk checked us in and gave a promise that they would be even better. Our room was facing the offices of the next building but we didnt mind. As in NYC, the windows appears to be soundproof, except for the occational sirens we heard nothing! The room was even spacier than Sofitel NYC. Same spotless standard! The aircon was VERY silent, now and then I had to check whether it was running or not.

The location could not been better, a mere 10 minutes walk from the White House. And when it was getting really hot outside, it was a pleasure to return to this oasis every day. We didnt have dinner at the hotel but the breakfast was a feast. God I miss the orange juice! Best I have tasted in my life!

Highy reccommended!! You will not be dissapointed!

Selected this hotel from past reviews on Tripadvisor website, and was not diappointed. I only planned a short stay in DC (2 nights), so location was my priority. In saying that, I could have not been more pleased with this hotel. It was within walking distance (about 3 mins walk) from the White House, and main shopping areas. There were also plenty of places to eat nearby.
The hotel staff were all very friendly, and the hotel was of an excellent standard.
Would definately stay here again.

This is a great hotel. We stayed over a weekend and thought that the price was really good value for money. The position can't be beaten for viewing all the significant sights of DC - just round the corner from the White House. The staff are amazingly helpful, especially door staff and the concierge, Mark, who can arrange anything and has all the facts and details of each sight at his fingertips. The rooms are A1 with 42" HD TVs and the beds are really comfortable. There is complementary coffee in the bar until 10.30 am, but unfortunately, no coffee-making facilities in the rooms. Breakfast in the hotel's Ici Cafe was classy and not over-expensive for what you get. So there are only three suggestions I could make for improvement: reduce the $18 per day valet parking charge; provide coffee-making facilities in rooms; and (difficult) build a swimming pool so that guests can cool down after all the walking around the sights on a hot day.

We booked through Priceline, so of course we enjoyed our bidding price--But, I would have paid full price for this hotel. The staff far exceeded our expectations.
