A Beaux-Arts Boutique Landmark

Near the White House in Washington DC, The Jefferson is a historic Beaux-Arts boutique hotel with elegant rooms and suites, the restaurant Quill, the skylit Greenhouse and a strong sense of heritage.

Washington's most-awarded boutique hotel

The Jefferson sits in downtown Washington, a short walk from the White House, an independent Beaux-Arts landmark built in 1923 and reborn after a two-year restoration in 2009. The rooms and suites are elegant and residential in scale, from deluxe rooms to the First Lady and Presidential Suites, the latter with a Washington Monument view. Dining centres on The Greenhouse, the all-day restaurant set under a recovered historic skylight, and Quill, rated among the city’s best cocktail bars, with a full bar menu and private Cabinet Rooms. There is a 24-hour fitness centre, with a pool and expanded gym available across the street at the University Club, and an on-site local historian. It suits couples and travellers who want a historic, intimate boutique base with character, near the White House.
