We were actually surprised at how nice the hotel was - our room was really clean, comfortable bed (no bedbugs!), great service. The hotel is located 5 minutes from Dupont Circle so it was super convenient to get around the city and to grab a bite to eat (also there is a Pain Quotidien situated right a round the corner... more

Well, I had high hopes for the Fairfax. I will say, it is in a nice area, the rooms are pretty and they have killer lemonade in the lobby. But that's about it. My room (room 525) had an air conditioner duct in the closet. So every time the air conditoner would shut off, the duct would begin banging loudly.... more

Just stayed in the Fairfax. I had forgotten it was a former Westin, and a cab driver told me it was once a Ritz-Carlton. The location of the hotel is excellent. About a block off DuPont Circle and close to a Metro stop. The hotel lobby is small and not a lot of room to check-in when it is crowded.... more

I just stayed here for two nights for my son's college orientation. Although I loved the location, and yes the hotel was comfortable, I would not say it deserves the Luxury rating. My room was nicely appointed with two queen beds, flat screen tv, etc. A coffee maker was in the room by the tv but I had to move... more

The last time we were in DC we stayed at the Westin on Embassy Row - it was a little tired but still charming enough that we decided to stay there again during our 30 day road trip. When we heard it was changed to the Fairfax we were concerned it wouldn't be as nice as before but decided to... more

This hotel was a great base for a five-day visit to Washington DC. We arrived at 1 PM and our room was not ready. There was a mixup in my reservations...I had two nights on a AAA rate (great deal!) and two nights on Starwood points. They had somehow changed one of the reservations from two queen beds to two... more

Me and my girlfriend stayed at this hotel for 5 days during memorial day 2009. Everything about this hotel was amazing. From the attendants who took our baggage when we arrived, to the front desk which was so good at letting us check in at 11 am instead of waiting until 3! That was a big plus. Everyone was kind... more

I was looking for a room in DC on very busy week where many hotels were sold out or overpriced. I was able to locate a room at what appeared to be a nice hotel, The Fairfax. We had to pay a little more because rooms were in demand that week, which was okay for us given that other hotels... more

I was a guest for just one night at this property. I will state that overall, I had an excellent stay. The hotel exterior was nice, which fit in properly with the neighborhood. It is in the gorgeous Dupont Circle/ Embassy Row neighborhood. It is within easy walking distance to so many beautiful places in the city, as well as... more
