Washington DC, United States

The Mayflower Hotel

A historic landmark of luxury and elegance.

A timeless destination in the heart of the nation's capital.

An Insider's Take
'Step into presidential history at this legendary DC landmark where power deals are made over martinis and every corridor whispers tales of political intrigue.' What's Special? Known as the "Hotel of Presidents," The Mayflower has hosted every president since Calvin Coolidge. The grand ballroom witnessed FDR's inaugural ball, and the hotel's Town & Country Lounge was a favorite haunt of J. Edgar Hoover who dined here almost daily for 20 years. The stunning lobby features original 1920s Promenade with soaring ceilings and crystal chandeliers that have illuminated countless historic moments.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on floors 8-10 for potential views of the White House, just four blocks away. The hotel's central location puts you within walking distance of both the White House and Capitol Hill.
Don't Miss The hotel's famous Café Promenade for afternoon tea in the same space where Monica Lewinsky once worked, and be sure to explore the nearby Dupont Circle's vibrant dining scene and the world-class Phillips Collection art museum, both just minutes away.
