Such a beautiful hotel inside. I loved the decor with the different chandeliers. Very clean and modern looking inside. My friend and I had a reservation for their Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea. The staff were great and the tea tray was amazing. We had some champagne to start off which was really good. The tray with the savory bites, scones, and desserts were all wonderful. The individual teas we chose were also really great. We loved everything we had and were super satisfied with this awesome experience! read more

I attended a conference recently at the Fairmont, which was a pretty good experience even though I didn't have the chance to stay there. Overall, the service was very good and the catering was performed well with easy access to stairs and elevators and restrooms. They had two areas to hang your coat that were in close range to the ballrooms. For conferences, the hotel has two ballrooms, one of which can be partitioned into separate smaller rooms for sessions. There also a few conference rooms that can be used for smaller discussions and meetings in addition to a business center if you need to work on a project deadline on your computer or need to make printouts or send something out via mail. The one drawback is the poor acoustics that can amplify a few conversations into a drone of noise. During lunch in the other ballroom the conference used, a full capacity of people made it a challenge to just have a conversation with someone sitting right next to you. While there are nooks and areas that you can step away from the noise in between sessions or lunch to have a conversation or make a phone call, it's tough when you are trying to engage in the moment. The food at the restaurant on the first floor was pretty good for breakfast but I was disappointed in the bacon that was overcooked. read more

My stay at the Fairmont Hotel was, without exaggeration, the worst experience I've ever had at a luxury hotel. To start, I was promised a room with a view and instead was given what can only be described as a jail cell--staring directly at brick walls. For the price per night, that alone was completely unacceptable. I was then moved to a different room on the 10th floor, which turned out to be even worse. There was a loud, persistent banging noise coming from the ceiling throughout the entire night. It went on and off constantly and made it impossible to sleep--I genuinely got almost no rest. The next day, after explaining the situation, I was offered only a minimal refund, which felt completely inadequate given that I had essentially paid for a sleepless night. I was then moved yet again to another room, where the shower drain was so severely clogged that I couldn't even finish washing my hair without the bathtub starting to overflow. Overall, this was an absolutely miserable experience from start to finish. For a hotel at this price point and reputation, the level of quality, comfort, and service fell far below expectations. Extremely disappointing and not at all the standard I would expect from what is supposed to be a luxury hotel. Also worth mentioning--booking this hotel was a frustrating experience in itself. When I called to make the reservation, the representative was incredibly slow and made what should have been a simple process unnecessarily difficult. I provided a corporate code to add a personal night, and she couldn't seem to process it correctly. I ended up being stuck on the phone for nearly an hour just trying to book a basic room, which is honestly ridiculous for a hotel of this supposed caliber. read more

Great location, short walk into Georgetown. Full gym, not just a hotel gym. The balance gym within the hotel is a full service gym that guests have access to and includes a large selection of weights, cardio, and classes. Also 2 peloton bikes. There are water fill stations in the hallways. Room was clean and spacious. Beds very comfortable. Balconies face the courtyard. Staff is friendly. There is a cocktail lounge with food. Valet parking is available. The TV has Chromecast so you can stream directly to it. Really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. read more

I very much enjoyed our 3-day, 2-night stay with our family, which included two young children. The room was comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was weirdly kid-friendly for a higher-end hotel. I found the courtyard to be especially kid-friendly, as many other young kids were freely roaming and running around without causing any disturbance to the flow of the space. The location of the hotel is also perfect, and the valet has in-and-out privileges so we were able to walk or drive, depending on our kids' moods. read more

This is a lovely hotel. The lobby is gorgeous, with its massive metal sculpture with various open geometric figures hanging over the width of the lounge. All the public areas and hallways look fresh and very upscale. Check-in was gracious; I had applied for standby upgrade and went from a signature room to a 700-square foot capital corner suite for only an additional $61 a night, which gave me a great rate for a wonderful room. Lots of space, including a dining nook for four and a full couch in a sitting area. The bathroom was pretty standard (no handheld fixture, either) and the linens on the bed weren't quite as nice as you might expect, but the mattress and pillows were great and overall the room looked great and had nice lighting as well. There are only a couple of negatives -- they are missing a real signature dining experience (the bar/lounge menu is good, but there's nothing like the Blue Duck Tavern at the Hyatt across the street) and the location isn't the best for tourists. The nearest Metro stop (Foggy Bottom) is a 10-15 minute walk away and there's not much that's conveniently walkable in the area. I walked from the McPherson Square area back to the Fairmont, and it took about 20 minutes. So it's doable, but not that handy. read more

I had a great staycation here. I stayed in a room that was part of Fairmont Gold, which has its own floor with its own concierge and lounge area. The Fairmont gold lounge also had complimentary breakfast and canapés in the evening. The canapés were actually more substantial than what I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise. They also had drinks and other snacks throughout the day available. I also enjoyed going down to the bar and having drinks in the beautiful lobby. My room was comfortable and nicely decorated. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely want to come back. read more

Convenient location for business or pleasure. I enjoyed walked to many locations. Both checkin and out were quick and all staff members I encountered were extremely professional and well trained. Rooms were OK, I had the shower towel rack fall and hit the back of my foot while showering which was unpleasant. Did get to alert anyone but by the time I got back that evening the room attendant had fixed it. Even the newest -2 days employee was ready and willing to hail a taxi for me when I had Uber woes. Didn't dine at Juniper but noteworthy is the fact that it is across the street from Blue Duck Tavern. Choose it, you will not be disappointed based on the painstaking attention to details and impeccable customer service. read more

We recently stayed at the Fairmont for a quick staycation weekend with our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. They were very dog friendly. It's so nice to bring him along with us to the lobby and enjoy some food and drinks. It was walking distance to M street. There's a dog park 2 minute walk away. Even a dog ER center down the block. After our stay we found out they were voted best staycation hotel in dc and we agree! read more

Asthmatics/MCS and allergy sufferers - BEWARE! Overpowering strong scent in lobby that has made me sick from the moment we arrived. My husband asked if it could be toned down but that was a negative reply. On researching I found that it's Fairmont's signature scent, manufactured for them in conjunction with another company Not all the USA Fairmont locations use it, it's by choice. I'm allergic to just about every ingredient in it. In today's age, it's beyond my understanding why they'd pick such a strong scent, rather than something very subtle. It is nauseating and can actually be smelled when sitting outside in Juniper, their restaurant, when the door is opened and you're well over 6 feet away. I have not been able to sit in the lobby and during a hot and humid few September days, spending so much to stay here for a vacation, this is not hitting us well. One size does not fit all. Fairmont should know this when it comes to people's health concerns. Other luxury hotels use much subtler scents that aren't even noticeable. It's our first time treating ourselves to such a luxury as staying in a Fairmont hotel. Unfortunately it will be our last because of their insensitive choices. I hope this review helps others who suffer with these health issues to avoid going through this. A waste of money - actually paying to suffer on vacation. Addendum: On a positive note, we enjoyed our daily breakfast with 2 WONDERFUL servers, Oscar and "Poo." Such pleasant demeanors - humble, non-intrusive yet willing to always help, and just so kind. In contrast to so many we meet in our daily travels. The breakfast host is also very kind. Please value them and reward them. There was also loud music playing just about every night coming from the lobby that we could hear from our fifth floor room from the outside courtyard. This was in addition to loud talking/laughing from conventions/other. We repeatedly called about this but it continued until way past 11pm To say the least, we always thought of Fairmont as a high class, elegant hotel. This particular hotel in our Nation's Capitol did not reflect that affect. Don't stay here if that's what you seek read more

I treated a friend to the Cherry Blossom Afternoon tea this past Sunday. We enjoyed the atrium, valet parking was $30, and customer service was good. However, the Fairmont was lacking ambience. We expected it to be decked out in cherry blossom theme decor since it was technically a special event. I enjoyed the sweet cherry desserts more than the savory ones. The $95 price point included only one 3-tier stand of small bites, one pot of tea and one glass of champagne. Ultimately, I did not think it was worth the price. I would probably try a different hotel for afternoon tea next time. read more

Perfect location for a great stay in Georgetown. Understated luxury and wonderful service. Can't wait to go back for an even longer stay.

Spent Veterans Day weekend here with family. The hotel was conveniently located. 2 metro stations (Farragut North and Foggy bottom) as well as the Georgetown neighborhood are 15 minutes away by foot. The interior was spacious, clean, bright and elegantly decorated. The staff members were professional, courteous and very helpful. Check-in was very smooth. The rooms were large and well-laid out with many amenities. They included Le Labo toiletries, bathrobes, comfy beds, plenty of clean towels, and streaming options. We also had free access to the Balance gym, pool, and hot tub, and courtyard. Check-out time is 1pm instead of the usual 11am. They will also stow luggage if you want to sightsee (before check-in or after check-out). We enjoyed relaxing at the lobby bar during happy hour (and got complimentary bar snacks) as well as the courtyard lounge fire pit in the late evening (over well-crafted cocktails). read more

Wonderful stay at this amazing hotel! The service is top notch, the lobby is spacious and light filled and has the most comfortable chairs and sofas. The room was spotlessly clean, quiet, and roomy. Most incredibly comfortable bed. Gym is massive and has everything you could possibly want. The price was very reasonable for the considerable value we received. Location is excellent too! read more

Not terrible, but not a great stay. I would not return and honestly regret the choice to stay here given the price and how may better options there are in this area for this class of hotel. List of complaints in no order: 1) The hot tub is actually just in the gym and closes at 7:30 on a Saturday 2) The restaurant is outdated and cannot accommodate food allergies. 3) The bar has a mediocre and overpriced for overpriced wine list. I am happy to pay overpriced bar tabs, but I decided to stop drinking at this bar the first night and frequent nearby places instead. 4) We had a real medical emergency that meant we missed our first night. It was prepaid and non-refundable, which is fine we signed on for that. But they could have given us a discount or anything for an additional night when we asked: The hotel was clearly empty. But they were inflexible. I regret staying here and wish I stayed at the Waldorf or at a boutique hotel. I let a family recommendation drive this decision but I will not stay here again and if you like great hotels, I think you should look elsewhere. The beds are comfortable. The staff are not attentive but are amicable enough. Not all bad but not what I want for a luxury stay. Great if this was a Sheridan. read more

Spent a recent weekend trip to DC here. The service was spot on from check in to water/turn down service and housekeeping. The entire hotel is a beautiful venue, and the bar/lounge area is a great space to spend time in. It is also very conveniently located to many of the things you would want to see or do in DC. As far as the rooms go, my King room was very spacious and had plenty of room to store luggage or just relax. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom was a great size and offered plenty of towels and products for use. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again the next time I'm in town. read more

My family and I decided this year to spend Independence Day downtown but not fight the traffic to drive back home by staying overnight. We chose the Fairmont at 24th and M for its convenient location between Georgetown and the National Mall. Booked six weeks in advance, we got a great rate that included valet parking. Arriving at 1030 in the morning, we were pleased to find that our room was available for early check-in. Located on the 9th floor overlooking the courtyard, our room with two queen beds was comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds and sheets were soft with a warm duvet providing a pleasant night's sleep. The TV was large with lots of channels and on demand choices but driven from a satellite dish that went out with a late afternoon thunderstorm. There was a nice desk area to work at and a comfy pleather(?) chair in the corner to drink tea and read. The staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful. The lobby had an active scene every time we passed through it. The full service bar there probably helped as did their planned activities like a holiday BBQ with burgers and dogs. We just might start making this an annual tradition and if we do I think the Fairmont might just become part of it. read more

I was torn with the review, we had a great stay but some things were just OKAY. Our tv didn't work so on our relaxing night we wanted to spend in, we didn't have a functioning tv and did not feel like calling it in to either have someone come in our space late at night or move rooms. We were happy to find out we had a little patio but the door to our patio was broken so closing and opening it wws a struggle. Our bathroom door was also broken thankfully my SIL and i didnt mind a open door bathroom policy. Loved that we had a patio with a view of the gardens it was gorgeous, everything was covered each night and the day that it was perfect to sit outdoors in the gardens it was closed for a private event (mind you no one was out there, so we were upset we didn't get to enjoy) I ordered a mocktail from the bar and was shocked at the $16-18 price tag for a fancy ginger beer, I had a $20 on the table waiting for him to give me a bill but clearly he just wanted to keep the change, interesting. Overall the hotel was beautiful and the staff was great. This location was great, we were walking distance to a lot of things we wanted to do. read more

It's a lovely hotel. The lobby is elegant and understated. Clean and airy. There a beautiful outdoor bar area where you can order food or grab a drink. The food was surprisingly good. Rooms are clean and spacious. The bed is comfortable. The pillows aren't great, but you can call housekeeping and get a different kind of pillow if you like. The lotion / shampoo / conditioner smell SO good. She shower is good. It's also in a great location. Not exactly in Georgetown, but a 15 minute walk away. There's a Starbucks across the street (which is very, very slow, so go there only when you're not in a hurry) and a Trader Joe's about two blocks away. I would definitely bring earplugs, because there were a lot of sirens at night when we were trying to sleep. It was a four star stay instead of a five because of the wi-fi situation (you have to pay something like $14 / day) and we found the service downstairs at the front desk to be slow and sometimes unreliable. Like one employee was supposed to be trying to help us get a car rental and totally dropped the ball on that. So the service isn't as 5-star as you would expect from a Fairmont. read more

So we had a MUCH better stay this time around, thanks to fantastic weather conditions, an upgraded room on the Gold floor, and, most importantly, Executive Lounge access. The suite was spacious and everything worked as it should (unlike my Ambassador Suite stay). We requested a mini-fridge & microwave, which was promptly brought to our room and in working order. The suite was also equipped with 2 walk-out balconies overlooking the courtyard garden. Great weather, great view. Spring was definitely in the air. Having EL (executive lounge) aka "VIP" access always makes your stay EXPONENTIALLY better. Luxurious lounge spaces, personal concierge, free snacks, drinks, high end espresso machines, continental breakfast, car service, etc. Alcohol, however, was not included. An "Honor Bar" system is offered, where you can drink as much as you want, but you need to record it on this pad so it gets charged to your room. Meh! Well, it's a good thing I don't really drink anymore.. Strangely enough, I also managed to score the same exact (free) parking spot as my last visit. It's like they knew I was coming. Thanks for the experience, Fairmont DC. It's been a pleasure! read more

* This review is for the Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea Special* I had an amazing afternoon tea at the Fairmont! My friend and I wanted to take advantage of cherry blossom season and opted in for the cherry blossom themed tea. She ordered the herbal chamomile tea, while I had the Kyoto cherry rose tea. Between the two teas, the Kyoto cherry rose tea was our favorite. Moving onto the food, the first course was the sake infused jelly with a matcha cake on top. It was delicious! Then our triple tiered afternoon tea set came out with the scones on the first tier, pastries on the second, and savory dishes on the third. The scones were buttery and fluffy - perfectly paired with the jam offered. My favorite pastry was the raspberry treat using the hotel's signature chocolate and my least favorite was the tart. My favorite savory dish was the egg sandwich and least favorite was the curried chicken and mango. Overall, I had an amazing afternoon with the Fairmont. The service was literally out of this world. Everyone was so attentive and nice. The host saw that we were taking photos of each other and rushed over to ask if we wanted a photo together - which I thought was very kind of her. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Pros: decor and location. Cons: first of all there's no FREE Wifi! You must pay for wifi about 15.00 a day and this is not the speed Internet. The speed one is even more expensive. Each bottle of water for 9.00 no tax included? I bought 12 bottles for less than this on the pharmacy nearby. I also didn't find any printer available too. You can only use the outside tables if there's no event like weddings, so we had to wait until the wedding is done before going outside. All other hotels we were before this one (on this trip) has offered free wifi and bottles of water with NO EXTRA CHARGE. When the staff asked if how liked the hotel I said all these things and seems he was not so concerned about that. So why did he ask why I wasn't satisfied? I do not recommend it. There are better hotels for much affordable price. read more

Fairmont - Entrance - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The room was cozy and clean with plenty of amenities: body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a Keurig coffee machine and USB ports. The decor was wonderful, inviting. A Starbucks coffee shop is directly across from the hotel. Noise from neighboring rooms and outside were non-existent. Now for the cons: the wi-fi did not work. To get the passcode, I was prompted to sign up for the loyalty program online and still it did not work. I contacted the hotel operator about the issue and she kindly gave me a working passcode. There's no 24 hr in-room dining although signage in the lobby said otherwise. Then following morning, I discovered that the shower did not work and breakfast, which was promised at 7am, arrived almost 15 minutes late. The pancakes were not warm and were crumbly. The croissants were dry. Management made things right with me but it was baffling how such a renown hotel could miss on so many of the basics. I'm open to returning but not anytime soon. read more

I just stayed two nights at the Fairmont for a conference. What a treat! In addition to the convenient location and lovely room, the staff was friendly and helpful. The biggest challenge: the Wi-Fi was GLACIALLY slow and presented an insane challenge. Ultimately, the front desk offered a different channel and a different password. Fixed! The best thing? There was a tea kettle in my room, plugged in, and with yummy tea bags waiting for me. I'm so accustomed to needing a microwave and being stuck with generic Lipton. Was a VERY happy tea drinker during my stay! read more

We came here for a wedding and extended our stay. Great experience. If we requested something to the room it was delivered very quickly. The rooms were very comfortable. They cleaned our room upon request as we left for the day. The front desk was efficient and there was never a line. My husband lost his jacket and it was waiting in their lost and found. There was always cabs up front without any wait. There is a huge gym. The room for their wedding venues was beautiful. Everyone was super friendly and professional ! Highly recommend. read more

I live in DC and was looking for a one-night "staycation" to relax and unwind. I'd stayed at the Fairmont in Chicago a couple years ago and really enjoyed it, so I thought I'd give the DC location a shot -- and I'm so glad I did! When booking, if you can get the "Fairmont Gold" option for a little bit more $, I'd definitely recommend it. Located on the 9th floor, it's a kind of "hotel within a hotel" with dedicated staff and a lounge (akin to a VIP or executive lounge at other hotel brands). It comes with an evening reception with heavy snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, including access to a reasonably priced honor bar, plus a very complete breakfast buffet in the morning (they describe it as "continental" breakfast but there are hot options). And "free" wifi -- whereas you'd pay extra for wifi elsewhere in the hotel. Staff in the lounge was warm and attentive, and I found it to be a great place to find relative quiet for reading or work. My room was the basic option, but would be described as anything but basic. The bed was incredibly plush and comfortable, and there was sufficient space to work at a table and sofa nearby. USB and other plugs were located conveniently near the bed. The bathroom had a big shower with two showerheads and luxurious Le Labo rose products. The lobby has a lot of comfortable seating where it would be pleasant to have a coffee or grab a drink before or after dinner. It has a nice view out into the garden area, where there was lots of additional seating. Overall, I was really pleased with my experience here! read more

I wish I had more than 5 stars. I stayed this last week for a conference. This place is AMAZING top to bottom. It's in a great location. It is beautiful. The staff, without fail, was nice, accommodating and fantastic. The lady that cleaned my room did such an amazing job by folding clothes, winding up charging cords, arranging my snacks and papers on my desk, everything. She did such a good job I went looking for her and when I found her told her she did an amazing job and gave her a tip. The restaurant and bar there is absolutely top notch. I was put there by my conference but I will choose to be there the next time I am in DC. Just another note. I've stayed in lots of hotel and nice hotels. The last hotel I stayed in, in the States, was a Ritz Carlton. The Ritz has NOTHING on this place. This place was far and above the Chicago Ritz. I cannot recommend enough that if you need to stay in DC, this is the place you need to stay. read more

My family and I came to the Fairmont for Santas suite. It's this really awesome thing they do where kids can come to meet Santa in his hotel suite. And it's totally free! Our family was having a mini vacation in DC and thought this would be a great event for the kids and we were not wrong! When we got to the hotel we were greeted at the door by one of Santas elves. She told us to write a letter to Santa and he would write us back and ship the letter to our home. She also told us that we could enjoy some complementary hot cocoa at their hot chocolate bar while we finished our letters. When we were done we would wait by the Christmas tree and another person would show us to Santa's suite. The hot cocoa bar was very cute! They had delicious hot cocoa as well as marshmallows big and small, candy canes, candy gum drops, chocolate covered pretzels, and whipped cream. Needless to say my kids were very pleased! While the kids enjoyed their hot chocolate and wrote their letters to Santa, my husband and I enjoyed a cocktail at the bar. The bartenders were extremely friendly and hospitable! After the hot chocolate it was time to meet Santa! There was no line or anything. All we had to do was wait about two minutes for a staff member to take us up to Santa's room. When we got there we had Santa all to ourselves!Santa was very cool and his suite was gorgeous! There was a room for Santa and a room for 2 of his elves. There were so many props and decorations to make it real for the kids. Like pajamas laid out fo the elves on their beds and a picture of Santa and Mrs. Clause by his bed. There were gingerbread cookies and candy galore for the kids to enjoy. They were able to talk to Santa and tell him what they wanted. We took pictures with the whole family. And did I say it was FREE?!?!? Absolutely out of this world experience and we didn't even stay at the hotel. Now it's all we want to do. When we are back in DC, the Fairmont will be our first choice!! read more
