About

You might expect a hotel where dignitaries stay to feel stiff and formal. The Hay-Adams in Washington, DC breaks that expectation with a vibe that's more like a well-to-do grandmother's home: lush, refined, but genuinely welcoming. It's a pet-friendly 5-star boutique hotel with sweeping views of the White House and Lafayette Park, a 1928 landmark built on the site of historic homes owned by John Hay and Henry Adams. The rooms feel opulent without being stuffy, and the staff is known for discreet, attentive service.

Hours here are 24/7, so you can check in whenever your flight lands. The gym is on site, and free wifi keeps you connected. If you're looking to explore beyond the hotel, the Capital Hilton is a short walk away. Insider tip: Locals and travelers alike come for afternoon tea in the Hay-Adams Room, where the wood-paneled walls were salvaged from the original Hay residence.
