guest rooms, quality of electronics, comfort of bed and roominess of bathroom
Didn't have a great experience at the bar. Went down for a quick bite to eat and drink at the bar. took about 1hr 20 minutes to get food which was only a croque monsieur.
Hotel is beautiful, staff were fantastic, gym is fantastic

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.

Location and French flare

From the valet to concierge the staff was amazing. The location was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.Expert Reviews
"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."

"When Accor set out to redefine the Sofitel brand in 2007, Sofitel Lafayette Square Washington DC didn't need that much of a boost. The hotel already had the crowd the brand wanted wrapped around its manicured little finger. In fact, vacationers have been drawn to the 237-room Sofitel's classy combination of French comforts and landmark architecture since its opening in 2002.The Sofitel trademark of embracing its French roots is obvious at Sofitel DC. Reception greets the guests with bonjour, and croissants, cheese and wine selection..."
