The Jefferson

What the classifiers highlight

Built in 1923 as a Beaux-Arts apartment house and converted into a hotel in the 1950s, this intimate hideaway sits five blocks from the White House, iPads and charging stations tucked into otherwise classic rooms. The Presidential Suite alone carries five balconies over the monuments. The Greenhouse serves under a historic skylight, and Quill pours cocktails. MICHELIN awards Two Keys.
