What guests say

The Hay-Adams remains an absolute icon of historic elegance and premier hospitality in Washington, DC. The panoramic views of the White House and the city skyline from the Top of the Hay offer an unmatched, breathtaking setting for luxury corporate functions, high-profile milestone celebrations, and sophisticated events. From a design and logistics standpoint, executing a layout here is seamless due to the exceptional coordination and white-glove standards of the venue staff.

Nobody pinch me—I don’t want to wake up from the dream of my most recent stay at the Hay Adams. I feel lucky to have just spent the most wonderful weekend there. Yes, the location (overlooking the White House) is unique. Yes, the building is historical, its architecture and decor beautiful. But what made the trip so special was the unparalleled service. The last time I experienced such hospitality at a hotel… must have been my last stay at the Hay Adams many years ago. Everyone you come into contact with makes you feel welcomed and right at home—from the people opening the lobby doors (AlfredoEmily Lang

I lost my credit card at the airport, so naturally I needed an alternative payment method. What should have been a simple solution—using Google Pay or manually entering my credit card number—required calling a manager over for approval, which was frustrating. Aside from that, the hotel itself was exceptional. The room was outstanding, the location was excellent, and the overall property exceeded expectations. If the payment process were more streamlined, the experience would have been nearly perfect.James Painter
