A girlfriend and I decided to spend our short break from work in DC. We stayed at the Fairmont and planned to also go to a Patty Austin NYE Jazz show at the fabulous Kennedy Center. We are both members of the Fairmonts' customer loyalty programs and were not disappointed. We are both extensive world travelers and found the DC... more

This was my third time at the Fairmont Washington and it remains a truly wonderful place to stay. I was upgraded to a Capital permier Corner Suite which was quite beautiful--separate sitting and dining area, king bed etc. The hotel is smaller than some of the giant DC conference factories and so has an intimacy and warmth that make me... more

We stayed in one of the regular rooms, with two "double" (not really that big) beds. The room was average to a bit larger, with a desk, small table, a couple of regular chairs, one arm chair, a clean ironing board and a good quality iron, and one small analog TV set. The room was clean and generally well maintained.... more

This hotel is beautiful and within walking distance to Georgetown but that's about it. It is far from everything else. The room was lovely and the view of the Westin was nice. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Nice but I wouldn't recommend it more

I really enjoyed my stay here. I have found Fairmonts to be pretty close in quality to Four Seasons and Ritz-Carltons, but a lot cheaper in price (if you search for a deal). This hotel was no exception. The service isn't quite up to the FS/RC level, but everything else was. The hotel is in DC's West End, about five... more

Having stayed in many Fairmont properties this property around Dupont Circle/ Georgetown was small and grand on the outside. Greetings from the doorman opened the door to a marble lobby and concierge waiting for requests. The property sits in a quiet young proffessional part of DC with an easy to walk to any cafe or nightclub. The hotel's gift shop... more

My husband and I, my mother and my in-laws stayed on the Gold Level to celebrate our daughter's graduation. We liked and used the lounge area with its complimentary food and beverages. The service was friendly and professional. I am a dog lover and a dog owner. Unfortunately, I am also allergic to dogs, something that I discovered after allergy... more

A late night arrival to Washington, DC resulted in the happy circumstance of a complimentary upgrade to the Concierge/Preferred Club level as no other rooms were available in the hotel. I never wanted to leave! Friendly, helpful staff, a beautifully spacious and luxuriously appointed room with details you never knew you'd want until The Fairmont offered them to you. Complimentary... more

Like other reviewers, I was hardly blown away by this place. I have posted a few negative reviews lately, so trust I am not becoming demanding in my old age (I just turned 30). I guess my reaction has to be placed in context. I'm not a fan of DC. Once you get over the excitment of iconic sights like... more

Just visited the DC Fairmont for my husband's 50th birthday./ Wanted a getaway that we could bring the pup. The Fairmont accepts pets with no extra fees. After reading all the posts, I was apprehensive. Our experience was fantastic. Pamela checked us in and was professional and quite nice. We enjoyed a lovely lunch outside (during the heatwave!) The woman... more
