Cottage City Hotels, Washington

"Positives…Inside, the Shoreham is a beautiful, classic hotel that seems as if it materialized out of the pages of the Great Gatsby. The interior is appointed with amazing chandeliers, relief paintings on high arches supported by doric columns, Persian rugs, polished wood trim, and marble floors and counters. The grounds in the rear of the property are gorgeous with sweeping staircases leading down to a gazebo and garden area where they regularly hold weddings. The hotel also has a great pool, banquet halls, meeting rooms, shops, and a coffee bar. The food and service at the restaurant were excellent, and they have an upscale lounge for evening entertainment. The front desk staff were very friendly and offered several extras for us upon check in. Our king bedroom was spacious, very clean, nicely appointed, and the bed was comfortable. The property is also a very short walk to restaurants, a CVS, and the Metro. Negatives…the exterior of the hotel is really showing its age and could use a “facelift”…it’s like wrapping a Tiffany bracelet in a brown paper sack. So don’t let that deter you from staying here. Additionally, all the furniture in the lobby is worn and stained, which was very surprising to me for an Omni property, and it takes away from the rest of the ambience. They should really consider replacements/upgrades. Other than those two points, the Shoreham is our favorite place we have stayed so far in DC and we will definitely stay there again."

"A beautiful hotel within 5 mins walk of the White House and many of the DC museums. "

"Amazing little rooms, super modern with an iPad to control everything. Check in was very easy. Only downside is it’s $50 to park overnight each day, so it can get kind of prices. Typical of the city though. "
