The Mayflower Renaissance Washington, D.C. Hotel Review

The magnificent block-long lobby with its series of antique crystal chandeliers and gilded columns is a destination in itself, and guest rooms at this grande dame hotel, which opened its doors in 1925 for Calvin Coolidge's inauguration, are done in traditional style in soothing yellows, green, tans, and blues and have sheltered legions of distinquished guests. Just steps from the Metro and walking distance to countless restaurants, clubs, shops and sites, this landmark hotel's location also can't be beat. Work off the booze and the crab cakes, a favorite on the menu at the hotel's elegant Café Promenade, in the spalike fitness center. The hotel's offers a lovely traditional high tea on the weekends complete with fingers sandwiches and a harpist.

    Small but comfortable room, excellent catering and service.

    I stayed here for a professional event and did not pay for the room myself (it was a block of rooms paid for by the organization). As many have, I found my room to be very small, but since I was not in it much (and was by myself), this was not that important. Service was excellent and detailed, and the catered meals for the conference were the best hotel catered food I have ever had. Location is great too.
