“What struck me most is the blend of Parisian elegance with a distinctly Washingtonian character, right near the White House. The art deco lobby made an impression, as did the prospect of unwinding with a 'First Lady' cocktail after a day exploring nearby attractions. It's the kind of place where I imagine both business travelers and those on cultural pursuits would find their footing.”
