Marriott Vacation Club at The Mayflower, Washington, D.C.

The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC—now the Mayflower by Marriott—stands as a timeless symbol of elegance, history, and political intrigue. Opened in 1925, the hotel was envisioned as the city’s grand social center, welcoming presidents, dignitaries, artists, and visionaries through its ornate doors. Its Beaux-Arts architecture, inspired by European palaces, reflects an era when craftsmanship and grandeur defined American ambition. Often called the “Grande Dame of Washington,” the Mayflower has been woven into the nation’s political fabric.

Great location. Walking distance from all key monuments. Rooms are spacious and clean. Service is good. Obviously it's expensive

Very spacious rooms. Extremely courteous staff. There was one person called Bobby who really made sure we felt at home.

This is one of those hotels that expects guests to not drink water. While the property was clean and check-in was seamless. The rooms didn't have drinking water. There's a saying - you offer water even to your enemies. Seems the hotel management struggles with basic of hospitality. Overall experience - average. Cleanliness - good. Staff - attentive but slow. Parking - valet for 70 bucks. No self park options. So, if you love your car, this isn't a hotel to book. Room - clean but lacked toiletries and drinking water. Sad - who came up with this cost cutting? Restaurant - given the place struggles to offer water, we thought it's better to try options nearby.
