The Jefferson Hotel Washington - A Notable History

A Notable History
In 1923, the nation had a new president in Calvin Coolidge, and Washington, DC welcomed a new luxury residential building: The Jefferson Apartment, a Beaux Arts gem by Jules Henri de Sibour that was the address of choice for Washingtonians in the know. 1955 saw the apartment’s conversion into a hotel, and The Jefferson was born. With a guest list that reads like a Who’s Who of political and social circles, The Jefferson established a reputation as Washington’s most discerning hotel, known for its attention to detail, exceptional service and exquisite interiors filled with European and American antiques and Jeffersonian artifacts. Over the years and through several transformations, The Jefferson has maintained a style and grace unmatched by other Washington hotels.

Today, The Jefferson is undertaking the largest transformation of its history and will re-emerge in mid-2009 as Washington’s best small luxury hotel.
