The St. Regis Washington, DC

St. Regis Hotel, Washington, DC

Washington D.C., The US

Architecturally exquisite, the hotel is part of the Sixteenth Street Historic District and is widely regarded as one of the finest hotels in Washington DC. Formerly called The Carlton, it has a history of presidential and celebrity guests.

Ideally located for exploring the city on foot, the hotel also offers guests a variety of things to do, from taking afternoon tea in the grand lobby to taking a cooking class with a top chef.

OUR OPINION:

The St. Regis is a sophisticated property, right in the heart of the capital city. When you’ve finished sightseeing, this property promises a relaxing end to each day with a cocktail in the prestigious lobby. Keep an eye out for other important guests that might also be enjoying the champagne sabering ceremony, every evening at 6pm.
