The staff and management of The Fairfax at Embassy Row were incredible. They worked hard to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Wa Vas Khan could not have worked harder to help us and to ensure that a difficult situation was resolved in our favor and made sure we were well taken care. The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable.... More

Attended a convention and stayed at the hotel. The food at the convention was excellent (hard to do for a group). The service was also excellent. Hotel room was well appointed and clean. Could not have asked for a better location. Peter Gill, concierge was very polite, efficient and helpful. He set the bar high for excellence. Would definitely recommend... More

The rooms are almost as expensive as at deluxe hotels, but mine is tiny with no reading chair or couch. I read in bed or at the desk. When I checked in, I was told that I was upgraded. That does not seem possible as there can't be a smaller room with a king sized bed. On the positive side,... More

Took my wife to spend the night near Dupont Circle at The Fairfax at Embassy Row...not disappointed! We were very warmly and courteously greeted, although we showed up a bit before the room was ready. Reception very expeditiously took care of our bags while we waited in the nearby bar. The Concierge saw to it that we were expertly accommodated... More

was recently here on business, and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, and the care and concern they showed to me and my foreign colleagues. Room was warm, spacious and comfortable, breakfast buffet more than adequate and the location right off Dupont Circle was convenient to everything, including metro, and many dining choices. Though there is no... More

We could not have been better situated for our DC needs. Dupont circle is 1.5 blocks away as is great dining and shopping (books!). We visited my son who is attending AU and this was a great jumping off point along the Red line. The hotel was friendly and welcoming. Lobby is small but that is DC. It is not... More

Thank you for sharing your perspective of your recent stay at our hotel. As many less expensive properties are generally smaller in size, offering complimentary WiFi is something that can be considered. We do understand that extra charges can be bothersome, but we do try to keep the cost of those services at an affordable rate for those who need... More

I've been staying here for a great many years, since it was a Westin. When they decided to reburbish it to a Luxury Collection, I wish they would have made a commitment to Luxury standards. While everything is nominal, you expect more at the level the property aspires to. I paid for what I know is a second level room,... More

We stayed for 5 nights (April, 2013) in a clean, well-appointed room. Though on the surface, the room only had the basic furnishings in standard sized room, the Fairfax won points for being immaculate, and the rooms were very quiet.
