"With roots dating to 1926, this grand hotel has long served the capital’s political and social elite, boasting a palatial lobby with Florentine gold ceilings and crystal chandeliers and a fireplace-lit bar favored for historic charm. A recent refresh has modernized 182 rooms and suites into a soothing palette of blues, grays, and golds with marble-bench bathrooms, and suite guests can access dedicated butler services for tasks ranging from packing to evening turndown rituals." - Laura Dannen Redman, Nicholas DeRenzo
