A sense of the place

The Jefferson, Washington, DC — signature suite — The parlour of The Jefferson's First Lady Suite in daylight: a curved tufted ivory sofa with pale blue cushions behind an oval glass coffee table, a writing desk with a lamp and white hydrangeas and a velvet chair at the left, a painted armoire, gilt-framed drawings and a landscape painting on panelled cream walls, a chandelier of glass leaves in a coffered ceiling, silk curtains at two tall windows, ceramic garden stools, a chaise at the right and a lilac patterned carpet; nobody in frame — © The Jefferson

Why it's in the collection

Because Two MICHELIN Keys make this independent house one of the city's two Two-Key hotels, alongside the Rosewood – a 1923 townhouse five blocks from the White House that enters on its Keys, and we list it in the four-star tier.

Two MICHELIN Keys in 2025 – one of two Two-Key hotels in Washington, alongside the Rosewood; no hotel star rating, so it enters on its Keys, and we say so.
1200 16th Street NW, five blocks north of the White House – a Beaux-Arts building of 1923, reopened as a hotel in 2009 with Monticello-licensed furnishings under a restored 1920s skylight.
Plume, the dining room, holds a MICHELIN star and a five-star restaurant rating of its own – the rating is the restaurant's, not the hotel's – with The Greenhouse and Quill alongside.
99 rooms, independent and unflagged – the collection's other independent house besides The Hay-Adams a few blocks down 16th Street.
