The hotel and room was very nice. Now that Pennsylvania Ave is closed, protestors stop at the corner in front of the hotel. We needed to leave for the airport and the police shut the street down just as the valet brought our car to let a stream of protestors walk to the corner. I told the police we needed to leave to go to the airport, but they could care less. Protestors have more rights than hotel guests. Unfortunately due to this location ,which isn’t the hotels fault, I’ll not stay here again.

Bed needed a new mattress. Coffee maker in room didn’t work. Very small room for the cost. When I went down to breakfast, hostess wanted to make me wait because I didn’t have a reservation.

The Hay-Adams is truly exceptional. The location couldn’t be more convenient—right across from the White House, with many key attractions within walking distance. The staff was warm, professional, and consistently accommodating, making our stay feel effortless. One of the highlights was the speakeasy-style bar downstairs—intimate, stylish, and perfect for a nightcap. This hotel blends historic charm with refined luxury. Highly recommend.

Worth it!

This was a wonderful experience to stay at the Hay Adams. Perfect location, the service was impeccable and you never know who you might see having drinks in the bar. My only slight request is that our pillows were so soft that we woke up with stiff necks. I’m sure if we had requested new pillows, we would have slept better. Great choice and can’t wait to be back!

The water pressure and hot water were great too given that this is an older property.

Top notch service from doorman - concierge - valet - front desk and restaurants.

The room was beautifully decorated and arrangement. Bedding was so comfortable and clean. We stayed for 2 nights and sad to leave.

You should absolutely stay here in DC!

I stayed for a graduation trip for my nephew. Really just excellent! Fresh cookies at the front desk, turndown service, nice robes, an espresso machine in the rooms, walking distance to just about EVERYTHING, and three metro stops close enough to catch everything else. Highly recommend! My only quibble is that i did need extra USB ports. Solved easily with a multiport adapter that i brought with me, and warned my nephew to bring one as well. There were three total in the room, two in the desk, and one in the phone. May be plenty for most folks, but i have too many electronics. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Fabulous history and a supposed ghost as well! Highly recommend

Amazing Stay at The Hay-Adams Hotel

My husband and I stayed here while celebrating our anniversary in DC. We have stayed at many hotels in the DC area over the past several years, but this is, by far, hands down the best one. The staff and everyone that worked at the hotel made the experience extra special and wonderful. It is one of the reasons that this hotel is not only worth the money but also is on another level. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and clean. There are many extra details and special touches in the room. Every interaction with all staff throughout the entire stay was welcoming, positive, helpful, and lovely. The location was perfect as you can walk to many restaurants, museums, and the White House. We dined in The Lafayette for breakfast, and again, beautiful room, the food was great, and the staff was professional, accommodating, and nice. The coffee was even good. There is even a cool bar... It won't be easy to stay in other hotels after staying at The Hay-Adams!

Exceptional in every way possible! One of the classiest and most pampering places in all of DC and yet understated, humble and down to earth. Family friendly, super friendly and not stuffy. The staff is incredibly diverse and treated us like royalty.

There should be a consent near the desk and bed. It was inconvenient recharging. Otherwise an excellent stay.

The place was clean and comfortable. But I booked 4 months in advance and at that point asked to be moved from a double room to a queen room and when I inquired again upon check in the man at the desks response was that they were fully booked. While I understand that, they were certainly not fully booked when I initially booked my room and requested this change.

We loved our stay at the Hay-Adams. The location is extremely convenient and walkable. It's right by the White House and a pleasant walk to many of the monuments. If you're a walker, it's also not a bad walk to the Smithsonian museums. If you're not up for a walk, there's a metro station nearby that will take you anywhere in DC. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. The staff is wonderful!

The Hay is a ********** Hotel!

The Hay is our home away from home and we stay here every time we visit DC. The staff is amazing - they quickly get to know guests names and the service they provide is extraordinary! Rooms are well appointed and architecturally interesting. The quality of the food from the two restaurants is simply great. If you dine at the Lafayette Restaurant, ask for Geovanny. He's our absolute favorite!
