The location was perfect for walking the city. We ordered room service for breakfast on the day of our departure and the food was delicious and good value. Best of all: warm greetings and attentiveness of all employees. Due to severe allergies and asthma, one person in our party needed a room without down bedding. I called the hotel to ask about this and Anna kindly assured me all down bedding would be removed and that a 'deep cleaning' would be done just in case someone at some point had brought a pet into the room. When we arrived at 11:30 pm, we found everything in the room to be as promised. We were so happy that the staff went out of their way to make everyone in our party comfortable. Front desk staff took a special interest in the teen in our party and offered her free internet access which was very sweet. Concierge was so helpful with tickets to bus tours and the Holocaust Museum.The location was perfect for walking the city.

I loved the sleek french design and the warm accommodating staff. My room was very luxurious. Have enjoyed the bar and restaurant previously, though not this trip. While complimentary coffee service is available early in the lobby, it would have been terrific to have a small coffe maker in the room.

"In some way, every Sofitel is a Parisian hotel, and despite the inescapable fact of its location in downtown Washington, the Lafayette is no exception. Francophone staff click-clack over shiny black-and-white marble floors as jazz floats overhead; chic young things lounge artfully in the dramatic wine-and-gray halls of Le Bar, sipping champagne. The 237 Art Deco-inspired rooms, white with red-velvet accents, are creatively lit, and hung with original paintings, black-and-white architectural photos of Washington, and—la surprise—Paris. Corner rooms 14 and 26 have windows on two..."

"In a fabulous corner location with lots of windows, the Sofitel’s airy rooms let in loads of natural sunlight (try to reserve one of the 2nd- or 3rd-floor rooms facing 15th or H Sts; they are the brightest). Rooms in the historic building, erected in 1880, have a whiff of Parisian art deco about them; embroidered armchairs and marble fireplaces are fanciful embellishments in otherwise modern rooms done up in geometric design schemes that impart a pleasing feng shui."
