The Jefferson has long been known as the most discerning luxury hotel in the Washington DC area, catering to the world’s elite travelers. It pairs a powerhouse location just four blocks from the White House with a culture of service unlike any other hotel in the city.

Following a full-scale restoration that represents the hotel’s largest transformation to date, the historic Jefferson is once again welcoming guests as Washington’s finest small luxury hotel.

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Every generation needs a new revolution.” At The Jefferson, Washington, DC, a revolution in comfort and hospitality is at hand.

With 99 exquisitely furnished guest room and suite accommodations, The Jefferson, Washington, DC, enjoys a well-earned reputation as Washington’s finest small hotel. The European ambience of our guest 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 suite and guestroom accommodations, 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.

Two design schemes invite you to vary your accommodation 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 accommodation palette – the first portraying pastoral scenes from Monticello and the second depicting details from Jefferson’s most important architectural projects.

Our staff is dedicated to ensuring your stay with us is most enjoyable – from the moment you arrive and are ushered to a comfortable chair for check-in – and as intuitive to your needs as if you were staying with a close friend.

As the nation’s capital and a vibrant, multi-cultural city in its own right, Washington, DC offers rich rewards for visitors. And the enviable location of the accommodations at The Jefferson – straddling the city’s political and social scenes at the corner of 16th and M Streets NW – puts guests in the center of it all.

We hope you will join the new generation of “Jeffersonians” among our guests who make our fine accommodations their home in Washington DC.
