A veteran of many journeys in over 40 countries in 5 continents, I won't allow mere amenities to impress me (though the Madison excels in this respect). Simply speaking, in 5-star hotels the difference is people. I arrived at 1:00pm from Boston (with a weird LaGuardia stopover, thanks Delta!) exhausted from week-end activities that took me from UMass Amherst, through... More

Stayed here four nights with my eight year old daughter and my mother. I was pleased with the size of the hotel and with our room. The room was lovely and clean, I prefer smaller hotels and this fit the bill. I did not care for the hotel service. It was not friendly and the porters were rather demanding in... More

Stayed here for 4 nights in May 2013. As this was the last stop in a USA holiday, it's easy to compare with the previous five hotel stays; this was definitely the worst. The room (a "Deluxe two adults" room) was the smallest we had stayed in, with not even enough room to place 2 suitcases on the floor, without... More

Smart sort of place on a quite corner but very central. Keys don't work and though this was well known to staff it seemed to be my problem, otherwise service good, except in restaurant at breakfast which was fussy and intrusive. All bedroom doors slammed without any though given to soundproofing the frames, so it was Very noisy at night.

For the most part the room was clean, except the blinds need dusting. The bathroom was nice and the room was quiet. I didn't hear any of the other guests. The doormen were very nice, especially Romeo. He was very attentive and genuinely seemed happy. I ate at the restaurant downstairs, which was a little overpriced, but the food was... More

I stayed here on 4/11 for a business trip. The hotel itself was very nice with several dining options. We ate both breakfast and lunch here and both meals were above average. The only issue that I did have during my stay was when I checked out, I left my suit jacket, cufflinks and tie in the room. I did... More

Very well located in downtown DC. Friendly stafff, and nice and clean. The room was on the small side but well appointed. Bar downstairs was comfortable and not noisy, so good for having a meeting over drinks.

I just completed a week long stay at the Loews Madison and must say I was thorougly impressed. The property was just renovated last year and has gone through a complete renovation. Service levels were outstanding and food in the restaurants were great. I had breakfast every morning and entertained clients at the bar at night. The hotel is also... More

Just completed an 18 hour stay, associated with a wedding. Honesty - my policy - it was wonderful. Planning early we were able to obtain deeply discounted rooms (3) for our party. The glorious discount was however diluted by steep valet overnight parking. But just above the D.C norm. Our car was delivered within ten minutes of making the call.... More
