New hotel, friendly staff
New hotel, so everything looks nice. The room is huge, including the bathroom. But it really lacks in closet space. The staff are very friendly! Oddly, the safe is on a shelf so low you literally have to lie on the floor to use it!

Full of wonderful surprises
what a pleasant surprise, I loved the spaciousness of my room the quiet heater and fridge and the French restaurant was the cherry on top. I had a rare drink called, "At Last" that was crafted on the next level and the mixogist, Maria, shared the 3 day process that went into my drink. The Sonesta is on my list of hotels to stay at when I travel to DC.

Exceptional Stay in the Heart of Washington, D.C.
I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Washington D.C., making it easy to get around and explore. The rooms were immaculate, spacious, and felt brand new, with every amenity I could have needed. The beds were top-quality, ensuring a fantastic night’s sleep. The highlight was the staff – they were exceptionally responsive, professional, and kind, always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. It’s rare to find a hotel that offers this level of comfort and service, and I can genuinely say this was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting D.C.!

Beautiful Hotel!
Lovely new hotel (opened in 2023) with an amazingly friendly and helpful staff. In a great location for touring. Breakfast at the restaurant was great and not overly expensive. Dinner items were a little pricey. Would definitely stay here again when in the DC area.
