A Smashing Success!

To a person, everyone raved about the service, the food, the drink, the sophistication and the place.

For the New Yorkers, jealousy.  For the Bostoners, envy.  For the Washingtonians, pride, and for all a promise to tell everyone they know about the best hotel they have seen in years....

You're in a Special Place!

From the moment you enter the hotel, where the doors are flung open by uniformed attendants and the hosts welcome you with warm smiles, you know you're in a special place.

Unparalleled Attention to Detail!

For doting service, great rooms, and unparalleled attention to detail, you can't do better than the Jefferson.

"This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had! From the valet to the host of wait staff, my husband and I felt like royalty. The staff were pleasant, sweet, and helpful without being overbearing. They truly were there to make the most of our evening. The food was superb, starting with a trio of treats from the chef and ending with more of the chef's special little treats. We splurged and experienced the tasting menu which took us three hours to enjoy. For our 36th wedding anniversary, this was surely the most romantic and special restaurant we could have picked. We will definitely return when we want to celebrate another milestone!"

Bien Sur!

The staff were OUTSTANDING! Fantastic attitudes and enthusiastic about making our special occasion even better- the food was all magnificent and very differently appointed and presented. We believe it's the finest meal we've ever had in the United States. Bien sur!
