From the minute you step out of your cab, you realize you are in a special place. We arrived at 1 am after a much delayed flight from the West Coast. The bellman greeted us and took our bags after escorting to the lobby entrance. The lobby is gorgeous, not overwhelming like some newer places. The desk staff were attentive... More

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will glad rebook when we return back to the states. I was so impressed with the level of customer service that we received that from now... More

When I was unpacking my affairs, I stepped on some cocktail nuts that were apparently left over from the prior resident and that the housekeeping staff had missed when making-up the room. Some of the pillows on the bed were very lumpy. I shuddered to think what they would look like if I had taken off the pillow cover to... More

FYI: If you fly here from the west coast on a red eye and show up in sweats or shorts in the lobby in the morning, every other person will have on a suit. Cafe du Parc has great French influenced food including breakfast. Get coffee there. It is Illly and MUCH better than room service coffee. There will be... More

If you like historic hotels as much as I do... You will love the Willard. Beautiful rooms, great staff, and can't beat the location! So close to The Mall, the White House, monuments.... Wish I had a chance to stay more than two days. Maybe next time!

There is a reason people consider this the hotel one of the best in DC. They pay attention to the smallest details to make for a great experience, and the staff was incredibly attentive to everything about our stay.
