My daughter’s wedding reception was held in the Greenhouse Room at The Jefferson, and I could not be more pleased with the delicious food and impeccable service! In addition, the venue itself is beautiful, historic, and extraordinarily well maintained. The Events Manager, Chris, is a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond in providing my daughter with creative ideas and support that turned her wedding dreams into reality. I cannot thank Chris, and the entire staff at The Jefferson enough for making our wedding reception there such a memorable, perfect occasion!

From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were greeted with fresh waters at check-in, received a wonderful room upgrade, and had every special request accommodated without hesitation. We booked through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts and took full advantage of the perks, but honestly the property stands on its own. The staff across the board was outstanding, from the bellmen and front desk team to every host and hostess we encountered throughout our stay. Having lived in DC for years, we know this city well, and The Jefferson remains one of its finest addresses. The location is ideal, and the hotel strikes that rare balance of full-service luxury with a boutique intimacy you rarely find. It feels like a grand hotel without ever feeling impersonal. We will absolutely be back.

We loved our stay at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington DC. Everything was outstanding from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtful and the room was perfect. I had one of the best nights of sleep I can remember on the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. The service was truly top notch. Professional, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. Highly recommend. A real winner if you are staying in DC.

Our favorite hotel in DC. Rooms are beautiful and provide all the comforts you need. Service is exceptional. Location is great. Highly recommend for a romantic weekend with your partner. The restaurant, bar, and morning coffee in the library are added bonuses to a perfect hotel experience. Highly recommend!

This was hands-down the nicest hotel experience I've ever had. The staff went above and beyond, the grounds were clean, and the rooms were gorgeous. My wife and I were visiting DC to celebrate her birthday. Our stay at the Jefferson made the trip extra special. The next time we return to DC, we will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for a long weekend attending a conference nearby. Absolutely stellar experience start to finish. The staff are extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. They really make the place. I am particular about cleanliness and this place is impeccably clean everywhere including places not easily seen. 11/10 on cleanliness for anyone concerned with that. The rooms are thoughtfully designed and relatively spacious. The water pressure is solid and the bathroom is large and well appointed. The library room is a treat if you need to get some work done. The only minor inconvenience is that there is no coffee in the rooms, but the greenhouse (hotel restaurant) has excellent coffee and there are many good coffee shops nearby. I travel a lot for work and stay in many excellent hotels but the Jefferson is at the very top of that list. We will definitely be back any time we are in the DC area.

Absolute 5 star experience, service was impeccable, they always knew what we needed before we needed it. Understated and kind staff trying to make every moment memorable. If you are thinking about coming here- just do- you will have the time of your life! Or maybe dont I enjoyed how un-crowded it was. The excellent service made our stay so relaxing. Food was also amazing.

The Jefferson is exceptional for the superb service offered by its impeccable staff. Kudos to the doormen, bell staff and reception staff, whose solicitous and attentive welcome set the tone for an unforgettable visit. Our thanks to everyone who took care of us, including Shannon and Ryan. Our room was well-sized and comfortable, with an expansive bathroom and luxurious linens. The Jefferson is ideally located. Walk on fine days. If you choose to take cabs/Uber/Lyft, you will be a 5-10 minute drive from the best that Washington has to offer, including the White House, the Capitol, Georgetown, the Smithsonian museums, the Kennedy Center and excellent restaurants. Back at the Jefferson, the Greenhouse Restaurant serves a delicious brunch on weekends (try the cast iron baked eggs!) and has memorable breakfasts on weekdays. Service is excellent. The Quill Bar is an excellent option for an intimate nightcap, again accompanied by outstanding service. Don’t overlook the property’s historic details. Documents signed by Thomas Jefferson — including a salary cheque for his coachman — are mounted near the reception area. The Book Room recreates a colonial era library and is a delightful place to lounge. Books authored and signed by the Jefferson’s guests are included in the collection. The hotel’s historian is available in the Book Room on Saturday mornings to answer questions and show points of interest.
