"The 888-room Grand Hyatt feels every bit as big as it is." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The location is superb and the airy atrium includes a lagoon surrounding an island where a pianist plays."
Rough Guide "Smart corporate hotel with an eye-opening twelve-storey atrium and lagoon, waterfalls and glass elevators."
Star Service "Inside this beehive is a potpourri of dining options, recreational facilities, and of course, lots and lots of meeting space." Full review
Gayot "Located at Metro Center in the heart of downtown Washington, this hotel puts you in the thick of things; in fact, it is the closest hotel to the Convention Center."
Zagat3.5
"Pulling in professionals and vacationers alike, this "wonderful" venue... offers more than 800 "comfortable" rooms and suites grouped around an "airy" central atrium."
Fodor's "The staff here sometimes refers to this chain hotel with all the standard business comforts as a mini city, and with so many conveniences under one atrium-topped roof it's easy to see why." Full review

Concierge "This venerable hotel... has such a good bird's-eye view of the First Mansion that network news divisions often book a room here just for the camera angles."
Insight Guides "If it's good enough for the Obamas, it's good enough for the rest of us. This grand, historic hotel faces the White House and has hosted many a famous face."
OysterLuxury
"Quite possibly the most famous hotel in the capital, and deservedly so." Full review
Travel + Leisure "One of the city's finest hotels, this rebuilt 19th-century residence also boasts what is arguably the city's best location." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Constructed on the sites of the homes of John Hay and Henry Adams, this elegant hotel features beautifully restored rooms filled with antiques and boasting ornamental ceilings."
Rough Guide "From the gold-leaf and walnut lobby to the sleek modern rooms, the Hay-Adams is one of DC’s finest hotels."
Michelin Guide "With a view of the Executive Mansion from its location across Lafayette Square, the lauded Hay-Adams is closer to the White House than any of the city's grande-dame hotels."
Star Service "The small porte cochere, usually clogged with luxury sedans, leads right into the period, high-ceilinged lobby, where a staff member intercepts all guests. " Full review
Gayot "This establishment was a residential hotel in the 1920s. Today it hosts a clientele that includes pleasure travelers, ambassadors and celebrities."
BlackBook "If you can't be the president, be his neighbor. Immediate prestige is just a slingshot's shot away from the secret service men staring back at you from the White House roof."
