    Rooftop
    Anushka M.

    This review is only for their rooftop bar: Came to the rooftop after grabbing dinner one night. Views are great and we were able to get a table for the 2 of us without a reservation around 11pm. We decided to order the warm bread pudding and I got a cocktail. Staff is really friendly and helpful, they seated us right away and checked in on us periodically. Our items came out quick and the bread pudding was pretty good. My drink was good too, but it is pricey and the quantity was small. It's a good place to bring friends for rooftop views and to hang out, just be prepared to spend a little more.

    Came by for drinks this afternoon and was greeted by a warming festive ambiance in the hotel lobby. Our temperatures were checked, masks were worn, and this establishment was very covid conscious - great during these weird times. My friend and I ordered two cocktails; we forgot the names but they were great. Mine had applejack and hers was an off-menu cucumber creation. They were both fabulous and well balanced. Not to mention, upon being seated we were handed two samples of the mulled wine. All in all a great experience with wonderful service and ambiance. 5/5, I'll be back.

    This review is only for the rooftop bar, which I've visited several times and really enjoyed. The view is really scenic, once of the best I've been to in Georgetown. We've also never had an issue getting a table, even though it can get pretty busy. I'll admit that it's pretty pricey, but no more than a typical DC hotel bar. I don't mind it because the cocktails are actually really good and pretty strong. We've always had pretty good and attentive servers. It's a nice spot to take out-of-town visitors for a good cocktail or for a date night.

    This is a very unique place. There's a cute speakeasy and a cute upstairs that has a beautiful view. They even have blankets in the roof for warm seasons. The whole concept is cool.

    pee on the wall

    i'll start off by saying we used to LOVE the Graham. We stayed there once a year for our annual staycation and my wife and I got engaged there. The staff and valets were always the best. Always super friendly and accommodating and would remember us each year we came back. ...However, we went recently about a month ago and it is clearly under new ownership. None of the original staff are there anymore and our super friendly and funny valet guy was gone. All the names on the towels in the room were changed to their new parent company which is fine, but our room was absolutely filthy. I've never in my life changed rooms or even complained at a hotel but there was pee ALL OVER the walls in the bathroom. Rusty nails and screws all over the floor by the windows....very clearly blood or red sauce stains on all the furniture. Large stains on the carpet that looked like vomit and drink spills that were never cleaned up. The white marble shower was visibly dirty with brown streaks and clearly not cleaned after whatever happened in there. It was musty and damp and it smelled weird too. we tookphotos and went downstairs to complain/show them and ask for a new room. they apologized and put us in a new room that was not as nice (in terms of size) so i figured they would comp us the difference. they did not. our new room was clean-ER, but still not very clean and overall not the same feel or look as it used to be. Our glass shower door was broken which wasn't a big deal except for the fact it coulda fallen off and shattered at any moment so we told them when we checked out. i'm writing this because we are sad and disappointed that our favorite georgetown spot is gross and dingy now and unfortunately, we will never come back. I hope new ownership figures it out but they are very clearly NOT cleaning the rooms or checking them before guests arrive.

    Free pack and plays.

    The Graham is a small (only 57 rooms), historic hotel in the heart of Georgetown, one of DC's most beloved neighborhoods. It's part of Hilton Hotel's Tapestry collection so you can expect great hospitality. For a boutique, higher end hotel in expensive Georgetown, the prices are reasonable (around $270 a night). It's a small hotel, so it feels more cozy and family oriented compared to The Four Seasons down the road. They have parking on-site, but I recommend street parking (it's cheaper and the bellman pointed us to where we can find free street parking across the street). The lobby itself is small, but cozy. There are couches, chairs, and a fireplace to keep you warm. Also on the ground level are restrooms and a small gym (a few free weights, a stationary bike, etc- no treadmill. They also provide free ear buds and magazines in the small gym). The hotel has 9 floors in total including the restaurant/speakeasy in the basement called The Alex and the rooftop bar with an incredible view of Washington, D.C. Our room was on the 7th floor and for a city room, it was spacious. There was even enough room for a pack and play for our baby that the hotel provided free of charge. The bathrooms are spacious as well! We highly recommend staying here. The entire experience was amazing including incredible service by every single staff person we encountered.

If you have the opportunity to catch one of these evenings, it is absolutely worth the effort. I arrived early and stopped at Off the Record for a drink before heading upstairs. The bartender mentioned that this event also helps provide additional hours for staff during the slower month of August, which made me appreciate the concept even more. The Top of the Hay itself is stunning. The views and setting are exactly what you would expect from such an iconic DC property, and getting to experience a space that is typically reserved for private events made the evening feel particularly special. The drinks were also excellent. Sweet, but not overly sweet. But what really stood out was the staff. I do not say this lightly. The service was outstanding. I genuinely wish I had caught everyone's names because anyone working between roughly 4:30 and 7:30 that evening in the lobby, Off the Record, or Top of the Hay deserves recognition and a raise! Every person I interacted with was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. What impressed me most was that the staff remembered my schedule for the evening and made sure I left Off the Record at exactly the right time so I could be the first person to step into Top of the Hay when it opened. That level of attention to detail is rare. Beautiful space, great drinks, and truly exceptional hospitality. "Be Gin the Evening" is such a clever way to let locals and visitors experience a part of The Hay Adams they otherwise might never see. I would absolutely do it again.

Our stay at The…read moreHay-Adams was deeply disappointing and fell far short of basic expectations, let alone what you would expect from a property claiming five-star luxury. For the rates they charge, the conditions and service are unacceptable. The building is old, heavily dated, and features cheap fixings. The bathroom is tiny, featuring a cramped round sink with virtually zero counter space to set down any personal items. Furthermore, for a five-star hotel, lacking a proper hot tub and standalone shower is unacceptable. The towels provided are cheap, rough, and feel entirely out of place at this price point. The bathroom ventilation is so old and loud, that I can't even believe it's there. No fridge in the room, only a mini bar that will charge you if you move around mini bar items to place your own drinks. The view of the White House was severely misadvertised. To actually see it, you are required to pay an extra $700 on top of an already steep $600-per-night room rate. The acoustic insulation is non-existent. If anyone is staying in the room above you, forget about sleeping--every single footstep and movement carries straight through. The front desk staff was entirely dismissive. After promising to switch our room to resolve our issues, they dragged us through three separate attempts, wasted hours of our time with non-responsive answers, and then finally demanded we pay even more money to fix their mistake. After we went through, not even a complimentary breakfast or really anything. Shocked that this place is more expensive than Four Seasons, St. Regents, and the kind. This is barely a three star hotel (except location of course). Stay away.

Too bad stored blankets were unavailable for sleepers wanting more warmth than their traveling companions. We had to make a second request for one. May I also suggest providing more than one bar of mini soap bars. It's such a minuscule cost item but would obviate having to repeatedly move the precious one bar from sink to shower. We found the valet staff particularly helpful especially when navigating awkward arrivals and parking needs of our personal guests. Sean was a prince. He supervised an otherwise complicated set of logistics with competence and gentlemanly grace. Another shout out to the manager ( sou?) of the breakfast dining. We watched him rigorously oversee staff and guests while occasionally stepping in when helpful. His leadership is likely responsible for the professionalism of said staff. This is in direct contrast to the staff of the Willard across the street where we took the first breakfast of our stay. We were dismayed to have to endure extremely loud staff socializing, boisterous laughter and downright flirting. This type of behavior would have been unacceptable at the JWMarriott.

Upon welcome we received free Trolley tickets for one day and some food credits, probably based on our Bonvoy Status (we travel all the time). The price for a room I guess because of the multiple conventions in the place was excessive. I think for a room, not a suite, it would have ben $750 per night during the week. I thought that was a lot so we used points, and the 1st night they had not held our King Room for us, and despite being our anniversary, we had to sleep in a double room and move the next day. Unfortunately, the double room was quiet, and the King Room had an adjoining door and we heard every little thing from the room next door. I would put this down one point, but the service, staffing and helpful Concierge made this place really nice for us.

I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people.
