The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Georgetown. The hotel was very nice. The concierge was so helpful. They have a service for gym clothes, the gym was great. The room was very nice and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

I stayed at the Fairmont for business in March. It is a beautiful hotel, impeccably maintained. The outdoor patio garden is beautiful at night, lit with thousands of tiny lights, and is a beautiful, romantic place to dine in nice weather. The rooms are very nice and clean, bed was very comfortable. Location is 10 minute walk to the Foggy... More

I stayed at the Fairmont for several nights last week. The rooms are large and well appointed. The hotel has an excellent gym with facilities above and beyond what I have seen in virtually all other hotels. Free high speed internet was provided for club members (you can sign up for free online ahead of time). The breakfast buffet is... More

Great rooms, nice grounds, exceptional service. I have stayed on both the gold floor and the regular floors and both were superb.

Hotel's location is very strategic. Service is good. Massive and well maintained fitness facility (i.e. not just a typical small room with limited equipment facility) The room that I am staying at in May 2012 seems to have been renovated recently and so it felt rather new and fresh (e.g. Flat TV). When I stayed here in 2010, the room... More

I was recently in Washington DC for a business trip and every hotel in the city was booked, except The Fairmount. I chose the hotel literally because it was the only place with rooms. When I arrived I was very pleased with my choice. Service was prompt, the room spatious and clean. I had noisy neighbors one evening, but it... More

We were in Washington D.C. in April 2012 for a few days vacation. We were fortunate enough to get an upgrade of a room at the Fairmont. It is a modern hotel with an historic feel. The lounge in the lobby is a great spot for a night cap and a quick bite of some locally produced food. The Juniper... More

First trip to DC, perfect place to stay!. The staff is hospitable, friendly and exceptional customer service. The lobby bar is wonderful, feels like you've come home after a long day of sightseeing. Three blocks to the metro and easy walking distance to many restaurants in Georgetown. We'd like to say "Thank You' to the following employees, Jawed, the lobby... More

My room was very nice; the lobby is beautiful; the location is great (only 4 blocks from Georgetown). My only complaint is that most hotels of this class (and price) offer free water in the room, and sometimes also have complimentary computers to check email, etc...
