"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
"Enjoy a festive brunch at the Greenhouse this Easter that includes plates like strawberry French toast with whipped maple syrup cream, toasted almond, and blueberry compote; Maryland jumbo crab cake with lemon caper aioli, baby arugula, orange, and pickled red onion; baked n’dunderi gnocchi with smoked mozzarella and tomato sauce; and for dessert, a robin’s egg macaron with Nutella caramel ganache. It’s priced $140 per adult and $55 per child." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"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
"Executive chef Fabio Salvatore has developed a three-course Thanksgiving experience. You’ll find roasted black heritage turkey with chestnut sage stuffing served with haricot vert and maple sweet potato cake. For those craving Italian or French, chef’s Amalfi coast ricotta cheese gnocchi with forest mushroom, cream Parmigiano Reggiano and truffle oil or the French onion soup topped with a baguette gratinee and infused with black truffle is the way to go. Finally, you can’t go wrong with The Greenhouse’s fall treats like red kuri pumpkin pie with maple bourbon mascarpone cream, orange caramel apple, and gingerbread." - Vinciane Ngomsi
