Why it's in the collection

Because it has stood two blocks from the White House since President Coolidge opened it in 1926, and has hosted every president since – Forbes Four-Star, with St. Regis butlers in the suites, and we list it at exactly the tier it holds.

Forbes Four-Star 2026 for the hotel, listed here as exactly that; a Virtuoso hotel, also sold through Marriott's STARS and Luminous programs.
923 16th Street NW at K Street, two blocks north of the White House – opened on October 1, 1926 as the Carlton Hotel by developer Harry Wardman and architect Mihran Mesrobian, the pair behind The Hay-Adams two years later, and listed on the National Register within the Sixteenth Street Historic District.
Opened by President Coolidge and host to every president since; St. Regis Butler Service in the suites.
Alhambra, the restaurant, and the champagne sabrage at 6 p.m. each evening.
