 | Washington D.C. Henley Park Hotel Reviews | 1 - 1 of 1 |  |
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

When Allan and I stayed in Washington, we stayed at the lovely Henley Park Hotel, an English manor-style building that is part of the National Historic Trust. Its decor is inspired by British aristocracy, & its location is directly across the street from the Cato Institute (think tank). Once we arrived, I realized that one of my ex-students worked at the Cato, so I paid him a surprise visit. He edits and writes books; he gave me one of his books, autographed. I was thrilled, & so we took him out to dinner that night.
The hotel was built in 1918 & retains most of its Tudor-style features that include a lobby with an exquisite ceiling, archways, & elegant leaded windows.
Although the rooms & bathrooms are not huge, they are more than adequate
Two-line speaker phone with data port, minibar, hair dryer, safe, coffeemaker, turn-down service,& robes are in the rooms.
The hotel is close to the Washington Convention Center, the Smithsonian museums, and the MCI Sports Arena
There are 96 rooms & 17 suites. They do have parking, but there is a stiff fee.
We loved it at The Henley Park Hotel & felt that the service was extraordinary.
What I enjoyed so much about Henley Park was its intimate style.
It has 119 gargoyles on its facade, and we were told that it was originally an apartment house.
It has a popular restaurant, a bar, and a parlor that recently received facelifts. All the guest rooms have gone through recent renovation that included new wallpaper and linens.
It's quite a romantic place with its English country house mode (Hepplewhite, Chippendale, and Queen Anne) style furniture and period beds.
On Tuesday-Thursday evenings, there is a pianist, and on weekends they have live jazz and dancing.
Critically acclaimed Couer De Lion Restaurant, Marley's Lounge with nightly entertainment, and Wilkes Room for afternoon tea.
One of the most delightful extras is the afternoon tea served daily from 4-6 pm.
Oh, yes, they have complimentary weekday-morning sedan service to downtown & Capitol Hill. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averagePhone: 202-638-5200
