The Hay-Adams Hotel — Washington, DC, United States Business Hotel

Washington's landmark residence of choice while visiting the nation's capital. The Hay-Adams business hotel is as close as anyone can get to staying at the White House, short of being invited by the American President. Originally designed in the 1920's as a residential hotel, the said business hotel has always preserved the ambiance of a distinguished private home on Lafayette Square. This classic hotel takes its name from earlier residents of its site: Mr. John Hay, private assistant to President Abraham Lincoln and later secretary of state, and Henry Adams, an acclaimed author and descendant of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams. The business hotel has long been a favorite gathering place in the nation's capital. The 145-room hotel features 20 suites, some with views of Lafayette Park and the White House. All travelers rooms combine heritage and luxury with contemporary comfort and modern technology.

Situated in Lafayette Square and just walking distance from city's landmarks, the Hay-Adams is the perfect place for both leisure and business travelers alike. The National Mall is just beyond the White House, about 4 blocks from the business hotel. The personalized service, elegant luxury, culinary excellence and fine amenities have been chosen by heads of state, international business icons and the social elite. The Hay-Adams is a destination unique to Washington.

The business hotel offers 145 travel rooms, including 20 suites, all of them recently renovated and featuring views of the White House, Lafayette Square or St. John's Church, the "Church of the Presidents". Lavish decor including ornamental fireplaces, fine carved plaster ceilings and balconies adorn selected rooms. Soft tailored upholstery combined with luxurious linens make these traveler quarters among the most elegant in the world.

The Hay-Adams Hotel won the "Leading Hotels of the World Gold Award" way back 2006.
