Sofitel Washington, D.C. Lafayette Square Review
The French could not have landed a better location for the Sofitel, a minute's walk from the White House, and the luxury chain has maintained the 1920s style of the original Shoreham Building, with an understated, sophisticated lobby and chic, though slightly small, guest rooms and beautiful marble bathrooms. The attentive multilingual staff caters to Europeans and Americans, pays careful attention to even the smallest of details, and is known for providing expert individualized service. ICI Urban Bistro serves artful French dishes under the direction of an award-winning chef. When you stay here, you—and your requests—will never get lost in the shuffle.
