Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
The landmark Hay Adams hotel in Washington D.C., originally designed in the 1920s, is located in Lafayette Square, just across from the White House. The hotel has recently been completely redone and equipped with luxury facilities and amenities, including Custom Frette bed linens and bath towels, Etro bath amenities, and high speed internet access in every guest room.

Business travelers can take advantage of the 24-hour business center and a complimentary local morning towncar which can be requested from the concierge.

The hotel takes its name from two notable men: John Hay, private assistant to President Abraham Lincoln and later secretary of state, and Henry Adams, an acclaimed author and descendant of U.S. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
