Desirably located two blocks from The White House, St. Regis Hotel, Washington, D.C. presents itself as the most prestigious hotel in the Nation's capital for royalty, presidents, and prime ministers. Since Calvin Coolidge cut the ceremonial ribbon at its opening in 1926, every American President has visited our hotel.

Built in the style of an Italian Renaissance Palace, the hotel is luxuriously appointed with European antiques, Louis XVI chandeliers, Palladian windows, and rich damask draperies. Frequently acknowledged as the finest luxury hotel in Washington D.C., we have consistently been honored with prestigious national and international awards. Most recently we were named in Travel + Leisure (US) Top 500 of the World's Best Hotels for 2006.
