Rooms average around 480 square feet, and at Bistro du Jour you sit as if in Paris, with an outdoor café.

Luxury hotels in Washington D.C. with history: a bank palace, a post office with a clock tower and a smokestack on the Potomac
Three luxury hotels around the White House bear the signature of the same architect, Mihran Mesrobian. The St. Regis Washington DC opened in 1926 as the Carlton Hotel, built in a mix of Beaux-Arts and Neo-Renaissance. The Hay-Adams Washington D.C. went up in 1928 in the Italian Renaissance style and reopened in 2002 after a restoration led by designer Thomas Pheasant. And in 2002, the Sofitel Lafayette Square Washington DC moved into the 1929 Shoreham Building, a former office building whose interiors are now inspired by art deco.
The St. Regis Washington DC · Connecticut Ave/ K StreetThe Riggs Washington DC occupies the former headquarters of Riggs National Bank, a Richardsonian Romanesque building from 1891; the minibars are designed as safe-deposit boxes. The Waldorf Astoria Washington D.C. moved into the Old Post Office, built in the same style between 1892 and 1899 and topped by a 315-foot clock tower. A hotel has stood at the corner of 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue since 1818; the current Beaux-Arts building of the InterContinental The Willard Washington D.C. was designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh and dates from 1901.
