"Set downtown, this Two-Key hotel combines old-world aesthetics with boutique-era services to deliver the opulence and historical atmosphere of one of the original grand dames; much of what you see today is the result of a 2009 renovation, but the sense of period grandeur remains intact." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Housed in a former 1920s Beaux-Arts apartment block that underwent a major 2009 overhaul, this stately hotel features a restored lobby skylight that crowns The Greenhouse restaurant, where offerings include Virginia oysters with a strawberry Prosecco mignonette, 24-hour–braised short ribs, and truffled French onion soup served under a puff-pastry dome. The 99 rooms are polished yet warm, with crown molding and substantial furnishings that evoke a White House–adjacent residential feel, and the hotel preserves a small collection of framed documents signed by Thomas Jefferson." - Laura Dannen Redman, Nicholas DeRenzo

"The historic property is transforming its lobby and signature restaurant, The Greenhouse, into “The Red and Greenhouse” — a must-see for locals and visitors alike. Look forward to a themed menu developed by Greenhouse executive chef Fabio Salvatore featuring Chesapeake Bay blackberry oysters bursting with notes of Meyer lemon and balanced by a granny smith apple mignonnette. The Amalfi ricotta gnocchi is highlighted by forest mushroom, black truffle, and Parmiggiano au gratin, followed by a festive finish courtesy of a Christmas yule log of passionfruit cream, golden pineapple tonka chutney, rum raisins, and mango sorbet." - Vinciane Ngomsi
