Took my wife to spend the night near Dupont Circle at The Fairfax at Embassy Row...not disappointed! We were very warmly and courteously greeted, although we showed up a bit before the room was ready. Reception very expeditiously took care of our bags while we waited in the nearby bar. The Concierge saw to it that we were expertly accommodated... More

was recently here on business, and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, and the care and concern they showed to me and my foreign colleagues. Room was warm, spacious and comfortable, breakfast buffet more than adequate and the location right off Dupont Circle was convenient to everything, including metro, and many dining choices. Though there is no... More

We could not have been better situated for our DC needs. Dupont circle is 1.5 blocks away as is great dining and shopping (books!). We visited my son who is attending AU and this was a great jumping off point along the Red line. The hotel was friendly and welcoming. Lobby is small but that is DC. It is not... More

Why oh why do hotels keep charging for wi fi in rooms? Especially when cheaper places tend to include as complimentary! Very helpful staff, good rooms but small details missing - ie had to call down for sugar sachets and could not work out how to start shower - was promised a call back on that one but someone turned...

I've been staying here for a great many years, since it was a Westin. When they decided to reburbish it to a Luxury Collection, I wish they would have made a commitment to Luxury standards. While everything is nominal, you expect more at the level the property aspires to. I paid for what I know is a second level room,... More

We stayed for 5 nights (April, 2013) in a clean, well-appointed room. Though on the surface, the room only had the basic furnishings in standard sized room, the Fairfax won points for being immaculate, and the rooms were very quiet. There were several families attending a wedding held there, and yet, we really never heard them until we were in... More
