The Jefferson Hotel - A historic Beaux-Arts landmark with Thomas Jefferson-inspired dining and personalized luxury service

Located in Embassy Row, The Jefferson Hotel stands as a meticulously restored 1923 Beaux-Arts building housing a luxurious library lounge and stylish cocktail bar. This 5-star Washington hotel features three distinct dining venues, including The Greenhouse restaurant situated beneath a historic skylight. Guest rooms combine classical elements with modern amenities, offering Italian marble bathrooms, in-room iPads, and custom-scented bath products. The Jefferson provides 24-hour butler service, a residential fitness center with Peloton bikes and TRX equipment, plus access to the University Club's pool. An in-house historian assists families with activity planning, while the spa incorporates herbs from Monticello's gardens. Positioned 0.5 miles from Dupont Circle and 1 mile from the White House, the property sits three blocks north of executive government buildings.

Pros

In-house historian available for personalized tour planning and Jefferson-related inquiries

Private Wine Cellar houses over 1300 vintage labels

Pet-welcoming policy includes specialized amenities for dogs

Book Room features curated collection of leather-bound volumes

Partner of DC Public Library's 'Books from Birth' program

Cons

Limited outdoor space

1 mile distance to major museums and monuments

“The Jefferson Hotel whispers luxury, not shouts. Its proximity to the White House places you in the heart of DC, yet its ambiance is that of a discreet, elegant retreat. The library lounge, with its vintage books, adds a unique, thoughtful touch.”
