The hotel

Washington D.C.’s other famous address, the St Regis Hotel, built in the roaring twenties, is an icon of restored elegance, favoured by royalty, diplomats, presidents and prime ministers whenever they happen to be in town! As a discerning traveller, we’ve no doubt you’ll enjoy it to the full also, revelling in dazzling design, bespoke service and a whole host of exquisite amenities. Rooms and suites are beautifully appointed with a blissful night’s sleep promised in signature St Regis beds. After a busy day, browsing museums, art galleries and boutiques, they’re a joy to return to with families more than catered for in spacious Grand Luxe Rooms with flatscreen TV’s – try and catch an episode of West Wing if you can, after all, you’re practically staying on the set!

We came here for my wife’s 60th birthday celebration. This was our fifth trip to the St Regis. We were told that there would be a special amenity in the room when we arrived for her- that we might well get an upgrade as that was quire possible due to our travel agents status “Stars”- that we would be treated as VIPs as we were occupying seven rooms and her birthday.When we arrived the individual who checked us in knew nothing about our celebration or our prior visits to the hotel. This was so disappointing and deflating to start this celebration. We were never advised that certain rooms were renovated. We stayed in a suite that had not been touched in years- there was no VIP treatment.-after my comment about an amenity being in the room for her 60th birthday, some cookies and a bottle of Prosecco was sent up. The trip cost many thousands of dollars and it just did not live up to the expectation as you might expect. Not withstanding the restaurant was excellent as we had breakfast there each day and the bar is fun but when it gets busy, the staff is inadequate. This is a marvelous building and has a great history as we have experienced in the past -please bring it back to its former Grace elegance and customer service. I think we are entitled to some kind of economic benefit. Read less

I have stayed at a number of St. Regis properties and the experience is always underwhelming. At this particular St. Regis, I noted upon inspecting the bed after check-in that the sheets had been used. There was hair in several locations on the sheets, and since I just checked in and had not been on the bed, it could not have been mine. Really gross! I raised it to hotel management who said “ok, we’ll have housekeeping change the sheets,” as though this was an unusual expectation. Then, upon showering, I nearly flooded the bathroom because the water does not drain out of the shower. After running the water for about two minutes, I was standing in a several inches deep pool of water in the shower. Also gross. The room was over $1200 per night, so while I certainly do not need to be compensated, I was appalled that nothing was offered. The restaurant, Alhambra, is great but I will never stay in this hotel again. Read less

The staff/service was 5 star. The rooms and common area, unfortunately, are 3 stars at most. Very tired and worn, with rooms reminiscent of the 1980s. It is not what one expects at a St. Regis property. It’s a shame that the St. Regis has let this property languish. Until they update, I would put this hotel in the 3-star category.

After a very unfortunate stay at a previous hotel, the St. Regis was a wonderful escape. Every staff member we came in contact with was extremely kind and awesome. The Bar was great with good offerings and we enjoyed the space. The location was spectacular as well: there was a restaurant across the street Il Piatto that was great, and just down the street is the White House! Around the block is a metro stop. Our room was extremely comfortable as well. It was an awesome stay for my partner's birthday. Read less

Common areas feel historical and upscale, Hard to find the words to best describe the room we had. All new marble floors that feel appropriate for a Miami kitchen, but not for a cold weather climate and no carpets to soften or warm the floor.

Common areas feel historical and upscale, Hard to find the words to best describe the room we had. All new marble floors that feel appropriate for a Miami kitchen, but not for a cold weather climate and no carpets to soften or warm the floor. Shower handle is so sensitive that it’s a 5-10 minute process to find the magic spot between burning hot and frigid. In room 310 at least, the hand shower was non functional. You can tell they put a lot of effort into updating the room while retaining the historical character, but it feels odd. Those little issues would not stop me from staying here again, but advertising this as a business friendly hotel in 2023 is not honest unless they mean “sleep here and then go to Starbucks to get decent WiFi”. Throughout the hotel, the extra charge high speed Internet internet is barely usable for browsing the web. A minor annoyances that we constantly encountered is that you can only buy 24 hours of Internet at a time and then it cuts you off. You will spend have to disconnect and reconnect every 24 hours, no option to get internet for the entire stay. Ultimately i might stay here again, but Zoom calls didn’t have the bandwidth to do video, streaming video of any type is constantly buffering. It’s 2023, this level of tech and Internet feel like they are from 2010. If you know what I’m talking about you will be annoyed frequently, if you don’t know what I mean, it won’t bother you.
