Georgetown's revamped gem

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Power players have made Fairmont Washington, D.C., Georgetown a popular place to congregate for years, but the $27 million renovation makes this gem even more inviting.

Fairmont’s re-imagined lobby features a dazzling aerial view of the nation’s capital using gold and silver geometric forms floating from the ceiling. The contemporary artwork exhibited throughout the building pays homage to the city’s famous landmarks.

A distinct U-shaped bar and the courtyard garden summon visitors to linger in carefully arranged pockets of seating. Guest rooms combine sophisticated furnishings with high-tech conveniences, and those staying on the Fairmont Gold Floor enjoy breakfast and hors d’oeuvres buffets, a self-serve bar and personalized services.

Fairmont’s Balance Gym is a standout, offering comprehensive wellness facilities, including an indoor salt-water pool, a steam room, a sauna, spin classes and modern exercise rooms.

Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, you’ll appreciate Fairmont’s upscale West End neighborhood with its parks, restaurants and proximity to cultural attractions.

Our Inspector's Highlights

The Fairmont Gold Floor costs extra, but the bountiful spread in the mornings and evenings makes it worth it.
The West End hotel is located steps away from Rock Creek, an urban park with expansive running and hiking trails.
Take advantage of the top-notch Balance Gym, which provides CrossFit, yoga, barre, zumba, bootcamp and personal training. Fairmont’s President’s Club members may borrow workout gear from the Reebok Fairmont Fit program to use during their visit.
In fine weather, dine alfresco in Juniper at Fairmont’s landscaped courtyard. There, sample honey from the hotel’s rooftop hives in dishes and the BeeTini cocktail.
The Fairmont’s special occasion brunches in The Colonnade are difficult reservations to obtain, but if you happen to visit then, it’s one of the best spreads in the city.
