There are hotels, and then there are places that feel like a secret the city keeps for its favorite guests. The Jefferson, Washington, DC is firmly the second kind: a five-star boutique gem tucked between Downtown and Dupont Circle, just blocks from the White House, where every one of its 99 rooms tells its own story.



The location could not be better: you are minutes from the White House, the monuments of the National Mall and the lively streets of Dupont Circle, yet the Jefferson feels like a peaceful private club the moment you step inside.
Each of the 99 individually decorated rooms and suites is a love letter to classic American style, and the dining scene is a star in its own right: three on-site restaurants led by Plume, which holds the rare Forbes Five-Star rating. Do not miss the Book Room, a cozy lounge that might be the most charming spot in the capital for an afternoon read or an evening cocktail.
Ideal for couples celebrating something special, history lovers who want to sleep steps from the nation’s story, and anyone who believes a hotel should feel like an experience, not just a room.
