For Inspired Dreams The European ambience of our 99 guest room and suite accommodations evokes Thomas Jefferson’s cherished years in Paris while an extraordinary attention to detail conveys the sense that one is staying in a private home. These two influences blend seamlessly in our spacious suites, where marble-tiled entryways lead to gracious parlors furnished in the style of a Parisian salon, with velvet couches and whitewashed writing desks perfectly placed on parquet flooring under beautifully hand-crafted chandeliers. |

Here, you might find a book on Monticello on your side table, or perhaps a vintage copy of Goode’s Best Addresses. Each suite bedroom has a four-poster bed with a velvet settee at its foot. Suite bathrooms offer double vanities and radiant heating above the deep-soaking tubs. In our guest room and lodging accommodations, beds are invitingly sumptuous, dressed in custom Porthault linens, draped in down duvets, accented with coverlets and bolster pillows, and framed with leather upholstery at the head and foot. |

Desk chairs covered in dupioni silk pull up to elegant writing desks. Windows open to the outside air. And, in one of the more inspired technological touches, a simple wall-mounted panel of two electronic buttons – one marked “housekeeping” the other “do not disturb” – informs hotel staff of your desires by triggering a subtle light in the hallway outside the guest room door. |

Bathrooms with hand-cut Italian and Spanish stonework offer oversized walk-in showers (some also feature deep soaking tubs) and custom bath amenities by red flower. Seventeen-inch televisions are discreetly hidden within the bathroom mirrors, while abundant counter and shelf space allows plenty of room for your personal items. Two design schemes for guest lodging invite you to vary your |

experience from stay to stay. One is a soothing palette of cream and white with green highlights, the other, a bolder tan and graphite with accents of cadmium orange. Toile draperies have been custom-created for each palette – the first portraying pastoral scenes from Monticello and the second depicting details from Jefferson’s most important architectural projects. Our top floor – the eighth – is dedicated to two expansive specialty suites: The 1,900-square-foot Presidential Suite and the 1,090-square-foot Bridal Suite. Both are exquisitely furnished, with soaring, nine-foot ceilings and French doors that allow daylight to stream in and open to exceptional city views of Washington D.C. A third specialty suite, the Spa Suite, is located on the second floor. Designed to provide a serene escape from the energy of the city, this 800-square-foot suite can connect to a couple’s treatment room for the ultimate private spa experience. |
