A late night arrival to Washington, DC resulted in the happy circumstance of a complimentary upgrade to the Concierge/Preferred Club level as no other rooms were available in the hotel. I never wanted to leave! Friendly, helpful staff, a beautifully spacious and luxuriously appointed room with details you never knew you'd want until The Fairmont offered them to you. Complimentary... more

Like other reviewers, I was hardly blown away by this place. I have posted a few negative reviews lately, so trust I am not becoming demanding in my old age (I just turned 30). I guess my reaction has to be placed in context. I'm not a fan of DC. Once you get over the excitment of iconic sights like... more

Just visited the DC Fairmont for my husband's 50th birthday./ Wanted a getaway that we could bring the pup. The Fairmont accepts pets with no extra fees. After reading all the posts, I was apprehensive. Our experience was fantastic. Pamela checked us in and was professional and quite nice. We enjoyed a lovely lunch outside (during the heatwave!) The woman... more

Room Service is an absolute disaster. Order breakfeast, place placard on door...No Service at all.....Had to call next morning for service...Order again for salad....arrived after 40 minutes ....11 minutes after latest promise time, only after call to manager...totally unacceptable....just poor poor performance. more

My wife and I spent the weekend at the Fairmont DC earlier this month. We had been there a couple years ago, had a nice experience, and were looking forward to our return. We were very disappointed. Both service and decor have gone downhill, especially taking into account the premium rates they still charge. Full credit to the check-in clerk,... more

My wife, infant child and I stayed here for three nights while I was at a conference and all I can say is that everything was just about perfect. This is by far the best business/luxury hotel that we have ever stayed in. The room was large and just about flawless and the staff was impeccably nice and helpful. All... more

My business partner and I just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel, which we booked via a hotel/flight package offered on Expedia.com; I must say I was really, really pleased with this hotel; we arrived extremely late on a Sunday night and were greeted by very friendly front desk staff (not always the case when you arrive... more

We spent 4 nights, splitting our stay between the Dulles WA Marriott Suites in Herndon to visit the Udvar Hazy Air Smithsonian and the Fairmont WA DC to visit the sites in downtown DC, also took the metro & bus to visit Mount Vernon. The check in process was easy and efficient. The staff overall is professional. The concierge is... more

My wife & I spent the weekend at the Fairmont while on a business trip. As mentioned earlier by others, I enjoyed many of the amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the courtyard which was a haven in the midst of a concrete jungle in the West End. Our room had a small balcony that overlooked the courtyard and it was easily... more
