As noted, there's a buzz and energy in the principal rooms off the lobby, but it isn't pounding. Stayed one night for business. Very friendly people at the desk, lovely room. Terrific bed. Good bathroom. Staff all very friendly when you saw them in the halls. Good breakfast, still quite hot, received via room service in the morning. Overall, no... More

This place has buzz but is not yet swamped, so take advantage of being ahead of the curve. French-owned, it is blessedly independent of American hotel standards. In Europe (and much of touristic Asia and Africa) the hotels are better, the restaurants are better, the airlines are better -basically everything is better. Sofitel gives you all that (except the better... More

I stayed at the Sofitel for two nights. I was expecting super swanky but what I got was really comfortable.

My bed was super comfortable... More

Had a very pleasant stay at the Sofitel when I was in Washington DC for a business trip recently. The hotel is very well located - just around the corner from the White House. The staff were (almost) universally friendly and helpful. As I was staying three nights I received an upgrade to a suite, which was very well furnished... More

Spent five lovely nights over New Year at the Sofitel DC. We booked on a 'Prepaid 40% off sale' rate which made the hotel rate excellent value for money and we had excellent stay. Superb service from the hotel's excellent Guest Relations Manager, the front desk team and concierge, which included arranging transportation from Dulles prior to our arrival. The... More

I stayed at the DC Sofitel in January 2012 for business. It is a very nice, luxury hotel and I would stay again. Almost everything is top of the line - Bose wave radio in the rooms, L'Occitane in the bath, mini bar, great TV, nice bar Le Bar and excellent room service. A couple things -- and I only... More
