The location is amazing and we were able to walk to the mall and White House with ease. The valet parking was an easy way to have our car available if needed. The room service was excellent. The first room we were in was not up to par (the toilet ran and the room was warm with temp set on 69) but we were immediately moved to a new room. The staff was very nice and accommodating.

The Sofitel in DC is amazing. Everything about the "neighborhood" is delightful. Clean, safe, well-lit at night. Such a great location to everything on The Mall. We will definitely go back!
