“In my opinion, this property occupies a coveted spot near the White House, making it a natural choice for diplomatic visits and anyone keen to explore D.C.'s landmarks. The hotel strikes a poised note with its blend of Parisian elegance and local history, and it's clear they've focused on spacious meeting facilities that benefit business travelers. I think it could also be a good choice for families planning a visit centered around the National Mall.”
