My family & I just returned from a stay at the St. Regis in Washington DC. Initially, my teenagers found it a bit stuffy, but quickly settled into enjoying the wonderful service. The location is 1 1/2 blocks from the North side of The White House. We easily walked to the National Mall and beyond. The check in and check out went smoothly--no hidden charges. The concierge service helped us with several items, from actually booking bike tours to suggesting dinner establishments. The continental breakfast each morning was nice; fresh fruit, bagels, lox, pastries, muffins and fresh squeezed orange juice-not overwhelming. The room was well appointed and quiet with extremely comfortable beds, a flat screen TV, a well placed full length mirror and an unexpected "Electric TV" in the bathroom mirror--(perfect for not missing a moment of The Summer Olympics). Our room faced out to the front of the hotel---no "view" of the sights, but not a disappointment either. There are double sinks with a large glass shower (no tub). There is a charge for WIFI. We opted to use the pleasant business center, with several computers, printer, stationery and bottled water at each station. The staff didn't miss a thing. When a cab was ordered for our departure, a confirmation letter was delivered with all particulars listed. A birthday card and birthday cake with chocolate dipped strawberries were a lovely surprise on my special day. Room service was pleasant and prompt (you must try the kobe beef sliders-unbelievable)! This hotel has been open for less than 1 year and is beautifully decorated and extraordinarily clean. Our stay couldn't have been nicer--we would definitely return to the St. Regis and strongly recommend this hotel for business travelers and as well as vacationing families.
