The Hay-Adams

Washington D.C., United States

The Hay-Adams

Directly opposite the White House, this residence stands as a small piece of American history. The property was conceived as a dialogue between American Art Deco and Italian Renaissance influences and the grand, vertical façade displays a clean, stone-clad aesthetic, while the interiors feature a mix of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns and dark wood panelling accented with Tudor-style touches. Certain suites offer breathtaking views of the Washington Monument and that famously immaculate residence beyond. At the aptly named Off the Record, guests can discuss politics and future plans over Classic Pear Martinis and devilled eggs, all within a setting that exudes the hushed, serious atmosphere of a presidential city.
