"With origins before the Civil War and a storied Beaux‑Arts rebuilt structure from 1901, this historic hotel is known for its long political legacy (legends include the coining of the term “lobbyist”) and ceremonial grandeur. Today it offers classic, family- and pet-friendly guest rooms, a French brasserie, a beloved afternoon tea service, and a Kids’ Concierge program that lets young guests earn ‘Duck Bucks’ redeemable at on-site dining." - Laura Dannen Redman, Nicholas DeRenzo
