The St. Regis Washington, D.C.

The St. Regis Washington, D.C. is at 923 16th Street NW, in the downtown and Lafayette Square area of Washington, DC, United States. The hotel opened in 1926 and is housed in an Italian Renaissance building two blocks from the White House. The location is convenient for the Farragut North and McPherson Square Metro stations, Lafayette Square, St. John's Church and the business district, and the National Mall is a reachable walk or short ride. The interior follows a formal, ornate style with high ceilings and traditional detailing, and the property is known for its butler service, which is offered to guests as a signature feature of the St. Regis brand. Rooms are categorized as Deluxe Rooms, Premier Rooms, the Astor Suite and the Presidential Suite, and the suites are especially popular with visitors on diplomatic or official trips. Facilities include a concierge, a fitness center, room service and valet parking. The hotel restaurant and bar serve meals throughout the day, and the lounge is known for afternoon tea, a traditional ritual that draws both guests and Washington locals. Service is personalized and polished, geared to luxury leisure travelers, couples and senior business or government guests who value discretion. The hotel is not a family-focused resort, but children are welcome and staff can help with arrangements for tours and restaurant bookings. Nightly rates generally run from about $450 to $900 USD, with peaks in spring, during cherry blossom season, and around major political events and inauguration periods. Visitors should expect classic rather than contemporary design, and room size varies with category. The surrounding blocks are quiet in the evening and on weekends, since this is primarily an office district, though restaurants and theaters in Penn Quarter and Dupont Circle are within a short ride. For those who want a historic luxury base near the White House without a large convention atmosphere, the St. Regis is a long-standing option.
