The room was booked using a low 'family & friends' rate. The per night room rack rate was an eye watering $849. Even at half the price I would not think it good value. Overall I had a good stay and would consider staying again. My comments below reflect my actual experience compared to the image this hotel portrays. I... more

Not sure how we managed it but got an excellent 4 night deal in this excellent hotel including breakfast. Had a great massage to relieve stress on flight can recommend Chrstoff knows what he is doing. Large room with all facilities spotlessly clean. Clean towels every day regardless of leaving on rail. Even clean sheets 2 days into stay. Lovely... more

Picked up a B & B deal on the internet - excellent value. We were allocated a large twin room on front of the building much bigger than other rooms we've had in the US. The hotel has been refurbished recently and the ground floor lounge area was great for having coffee as it overlooked the courtyard garden which is... more

We had a great stay at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington DC. First off, the location is good. It's close to Georgetown, and a 5 - 10 min walk to the closest metro station. 2/ The rooms are nice, spacious and very clean. We had absolutely no comments at all. 3/ The staff is very friendly and always happy to... more

I came to D.C. on business and there were several experiences that struck me as odd that prevent me from giving it a 5-stars. 1) The hotel entrance has 5-7 steps going down to the main lobby -- and no one helped me with my luggage. Yes, I'm healthy and I can bring my own luggage down, it's just disconcerting... more

This is a very elegant hotel full of business travelers. However, they were hosting a wedding and reception the weekend I was there. The rooms are quiet large and they were in the process of updating the decor. The hotel is within walking distance of most everything: Georgetown bars/restaurants and shopping, the waterfront, Dupont Circle, the Kennedy Center. We even... more

The Fairmont is ideally situated both for restaurants in Georgetown - a short walk away - and the great sights of DC. The hotel is elegant and the rooms are spacious and tastefully equipped. There is a pleasant lobby bar and a delightful garden area. Only criticism is that they charge an extortionate $13.95 plus taxes for internet access per... more

I understand why travelers who have stayed at other Fairmont locations might find this one relatively shabby: it looked its age, the toiletries were not of the highest quality, and yes, not all the towels were fluffy. But I thoroughly enjoyed my 3-night stay for a conference. Our group, whether numbering over 20 or 200, experienced impeccable service from setting... more

We recently earned premier status in the President's Club. What a great loyalty program! When we arrived, managers informed us they had read our on-line reviews of other Fairmont properties and hoped we would have a nice stay in D.C. We then were able to use our certificates for a room and suite upgrade. What a beautiful suite! The location... more
