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

Although this hotel is grand, and service is perfect, it does not measure up to other Fairmont hotels I have been at in several ways. I am on the fourth day of a six day business trip here: Towels every day were threadbare. TV was small (14 inch) in a b attered cabinet whose doors did not fold back, making... more

This was one of the finest hotel experiences we have ever had. Be sure to book on the Gold Level. The staff are wonderful and they made our stay both memorable and extreemly pleasant. We had our grandchildren with us and they loved everything about this hotel. They have a lovely indoor pool, sauna, steam, etc. which was wonderful for... more

We arrived late in the early hours after a longer than anticipated handbag shopping trip............but the parking valet and Carl the luggage handler were on hand immediately; the front desk said they were expecting us and arranged complimentry drinks for us since the bar had closed for the evening. Our room was on the 9th floor, it was clean and... more

Our family of 6 just returned from a fabulous stay at the Fairmont. Parents had a room on concierge level and kids had a room one floor below. The concierge staff was friendly and attentive and treated our children very kindly, even sending up a large tray of chocolate on the one night we could not attend the chocolate fondue.... more
