This hotel is immaculate! Pretty, comfortable, current, the staff is absolutely amazing. The restaurant was outstanding and so were their staff. The food was really good. My only bit of concern was their water pressure in the shower but besides that it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful city. The location of the hotel was very convenient to major attractions.

We loved our stay at Royal Sonesta! Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The connecting restraint (DuJour) is staffed with friendly associates that provide excellent service for very good breakfast/dinner (with Gluten Free options I might add). The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to Washington tourist spots either by metro (highly recommended) or Uber. We would highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay there again at our next visit to DC.
