The Jefferson - A Loews Hotel - Property information

What to expect: One of Washington’s better-known historic hotels, the Jefferson is an intimate property where politicians, celebrities, and foreign dignitaries mingle easily with less-celebrated guests—all welcomed by staff members who greet each guest by name. The elegant Beaux Arts exterior and antique-furnished Federal-style interior give the hotel a sumptuous feel.
• Amenity highlights: Two small stone-lined courtyards just off the lobby offer a perfect place to sip morning coffee. Original etchings and paintings, and even documents bearing Thomas Jefferson’s autograph, decorate the hallways and public spaces. Rooms are plush retreats where guests can relax with CDs or videos borrowed from the hotel’s lobby. Large closets, a selection of periodicals, and down pillows on the beds are other thoughtful touches, and laundry sent out for cleaning is hand-ironed and returned in wicker baskets.
• Insider tip: The Jefferson’s refined accommodations and central location have always attracted big names from the world of politics and beyond. Bill Cosby has been spotted in the lobby, and Billy Joel has been known to commandeer the piano in the lounge.
