Hotel Lombardy

Charming, Historic, and Heartfelt — With a Few Quirks We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Lombardy! The location is fantastic — close to everything yet tucked into a quieter stretch of D.C., making it easy to explore and then retreat for some peace. The staff was attentive, warm, and genuinely personable — the kind of team that makes you feel like a welcome guest, not just a room number. The hotel itself is delightfully quaint and historic. You can almost imagine bygone diplomats and elegant travelers gliding down the halls with martinis in hand and important secrets in their pockets. There's a timeless quality to the place that gives it real character. Now, about the quirks — because what’s a historic hotel without a little eccentricity? The bathroom fixtures had a bit of a rebellious streak, and the pillows on the first night were very enthusiastic (read: thick enough to qualify as furniture). But we requested flatter ones for the second night and were happily accommodated. Problem solved! The bed was soft and could probably use an upgrade, but the room temperature was absolutely perfect — a serious win when D.C. decides to crank up the heat into triple digits. The in-room kitchenette was lovely, with a great coffee maker and thoughtful amenities that made mornings much easier. All in all, Hotel Lombardy offers a warm, memorable experience wrapped in history and charm. It may not be flawless, but like a favorite old novel, it wins you over page by page. Would we stay again? Absolutely.

Our stay at The Lombardy was beyond reproach! From the moment we arrived, the bellmen did a stellar job of valeting the car to getting our luggage to the room. The location and history of this hotel are phenomenal. It is located in a perfect area to visit so much of the history in DC. They have a fantastic restaurant and bar, and the hotel is surrounded by many choices for food and drinks. We visited the White House, the Law Enforcement Memorial, Vietnam Wall, Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, and many other historical treats. For the price, you cannot beat this beautiful historic hotel! It was built in the 20's and has huge rooms with a large bathroom with high water pressure. The mini bar is deluxe, and the valet was so easy and quick to get our car whenever we needed to.

They let us have an early check-in, and it helps us a lot. We so appreciated that. The hotel and the room are a little bit old style, but the room is very big. It is so spacious for three people to stay there. The location may not be very convenient, but it's still okay; for it's not very far from many sightseeing points, and we can take Uber with fares lower than public transport.
