“My personal take on The Hay - Adams is that its location, directly across from the White House, is undeniably its strongest card, complemented by service that consistently feels personal and attentive, often calling guests by name. Guests consistently remark on the elegance of the decor and the quality of the food at The Lafayette, painting a picture of a hotel that truly understands the art of hospitality. It strikes me as a place where the historic grandeur of Washington meets a refined, welcoming approach to guest care.”
