An Historic Hotel Near the White House

With 99 exquisitely furnished guest room and suite accommodations, The Jefferson, Washington, DC, enjoys a well-earned reputation as Washington’s finest small hotel. Since 1923, this Beaux Arts jewel has presided over the corner of 16th and M Streets, NW, catering to savvy Washingtonians and the world’s elite travelers.

Rich in historical details, this downtown Washington, D.C. hotel is both European and Washingtonian in style, and inspirations from its namesake, Thomas Jefferson, are found throughout. It is home to one of the city’s finest restaurants, Plume, showcasing the culinary talents of Chris Jakubiec, and a lounge, Quill, that is elevating the art of cocktails in Washington, D.C.

Treatments at the exclusive new Spa at The Jefferson are based on botanicals grown in Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello gardens and are woven into a highly personalized and intimate spa experience.

Areas of discovery unfold at every turn, from private nooks to original Thomas Jefferson-signed documents to a Book Room filled with leather-bound volumes on Jeffersonian-era subjects and signed editions by contemporary authors who have been among the hotel's guests.

Every member of the staff is dedicated to ensuring that each guest's stay is most enjoyable – from the moment they arrive and are ushered to a comfortable chair for check-in – and as intuitive to individual needs as if guests were staying with a close friend. We hope you will join the new generation of “Jeffersonians” among our guests who make our hotel their home in downtown Washington, DC.
