Luxury Designed for Every Generation
There’s a reason families come back to The Jefferson DC, year round. It feels less like a hotel and more like a curated experience of the city as a resident. With only 99 rooms, the staff have the rare luxury of remembering your name at the door, your drink at the bar, and offering a personal experience for guests. Parents get the quiet indulgences; kids get their own bit of magic.
Suites Built for Family Stays
- • The First Lady Suite is the hotel’s only accommodation with a working gas fireplace, along with a canopied king bed, three Juliette balconies, and its own dining room.
- • Guests wanting more space can also choose the Presidential Suite, which is the largest room in the hotel, has five Juliette balconies, a private kitchen and study, and views toward the Washington Monument
- • The Executive Suite and Deluxe Suites offer a separate parlor and pull-out sofa at a more compact scale, and the Deluxe Room and Premier Room allow for myriad options when choosing where to stay.
Thoughtful Touches for Every Age
Dining the Whole Family Will Enjoy
Weekend mornings under The Greenhouse’s historic skylight. A feature of the building rediscovered during its 2009 restoration, make for an easy family brunch before a day of sightseeing. In the evening, parents can trade off a quieter dinner or a cocktail at Quill while younger guests wind down with All Day Dining, the hotel’s in-room dining service, available from morning through late evening.
Washington, DC's Best Sights, Just Steps Away
The hotel’s downtown location puts the National Mall, the Smithsonian’s museums. Free to enter, with special programming continuing through 2026 for America’s 250th anniversary — and the White House within an easy walk, so a family doesn’t lose a morning to traffic before the first stop of the day. For families who want more than a self-guided walk, the hotel’s private historian can lead a family-paced tour built around the sites that will hold a child’s attention rather than a standard adult itinerary.
