AOL Travel Editor's Review

The chief rival to the storied Hay-Adams hotel is The Jefferson, located just four blocks south on 16th Street NW. The beautiful Beaux-Arts hotel is a decadent ode to the third president of the U.S. Every aspect of Jefferson's life is celebrated in superb detail here, from original signed documents that hang on the wall of the entrance to the pastoral prints of Jefferson's beloved home, Monticello, that have been incorporated into the bedroom textiles. Red Flower even designed bath products for the property that weave together the fragrances of Jefferson's garden. A dumbwaiter—Thomas Jefferson's own invention—is put to use in the dining room (it ferries up vintages from Jefferson's favorite wine regions to guests dining at the house restaurant, Plume). The Jefferson is one of the top Washington D.C. hotels to feel at home with a piece of our nation's history. At one time the nickname for the hotel was "White House North" because so many political glitterati stayed here and, believe it or not, Larry King used to broadcast his radio show here before he joined CNN. The hotel reopened in August 2009 with a full array of modern conveniences following a 30-month renovation.
