The property was within reasonable walking distance of Amtrak station as well as all the museums we wanted to see. Property was very clean and the people were freindly.

This hotel is conveniently located near to a Metro stop downtown. The taxi and cab commute was easy and quick, approx. 15 - 30 mins away from most leisure and entertainment spots, depending on traffic. Pleasant and courteous staff. Not bad.

Great location! Restaurants at the hotel - one with a bar and outdoor seating so you can have a nice time and not have to worry about driving or getting a taxi. The hotel may not be shiny and new but you get a nice room with friendly staff with a great rate. I'd rather spend my money on other things instead of a pricey hotel. We will definitely stay there again when we return to D.C.

We had a Deluxe King room that was very nice. This is the oldest hotel in Washington DC. The location is wonderful. It is 3 blocks from the WhiteHouse and several museums. Taxis are easy to catch outside the hotel and the bus stops for both Metrobus and the tour buses are close by. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel but we did not eat in them. There were several food options close by. The room was very clean and the housekeeping staff was great. The desk staff was nice and very helpful with printing tickets for local attractions and boarding passes. The concierge kept our luggage the day we checked out as we didn't fly until late in the day, so we were able to squeeze in one more museum before we left town.

Designed by the architectural firm Rich & FitzSimons, the six-story hotel boasted a dining room and two-story lobby with a mezzanine, all finished in marble. Upstairs, mahogany-trimmed hallways led to 80 rooms, all with running water and most with private baths. The hotel proved so successful that in 1918 Mills and McCutchen doubled the size of the lobby and built a 12-story annex along E Street, containing a two-story ballroom and 100 additional rooms. The Harrington now ranked among the city's largest hotels. A final expansion in 1925, a 12-story wing with another 125 rooms, filled in the rest of the E Street block to 12th Street. In 1932 the hotel installed Art Deco embellishments, including the stainless steel canopy, with back-lit letters, over the front entrance. Always innovative, the Harrington in 1938 became DC's first air-conditioned hotel. Late 1940s modernization resulted in reduced ceiling heights in the ballroom and lobby, and modern finishes and furnishings throughout the building. The hotel has provided a comfortable home-away-from-home for its guests—more than 10 million of them over the years—as well as for its employees.
