A few years ago we asked frequent travellers about hotels that serve them best in cities around the globe and The Jefferson was always on the top.
The hotel has long been known as Washington D.C.’s most discerning hotel, catering to the world’s elite travelers.
It enjoys one of the city’s most prestigious and strategic locations, at the corner of 16th and M Streets – just four blocks from the White House and within a short walk of the Smithsonian museums, national monuments and various embassies. It is convenient to the dining, shops and nightlife of Georgetown and Penn Quarter, as well as the Washington, D.C. downtown business district and Dupont Circle.
