Hotels Near Union Station in Washington D.C.

Our experience at the Phoenix was wonderful. The hotel’s location was so convenient since it’s a block from Union Station and we came in on Amtrak - but also because the subway line runs from there as well. The staff could not have been nicer - always greeting us, welcoming us back when we came back in the evening, etc. And the room was clean and well taken care of every day. They also have a restaurant attached where you can get breakfast or food/drinks. We’ll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to D.C. The only negative portion of the visit really had nothing to do with the hotel but rather the people next door - the group was loud and boisterous late at night (between 1 and 2 am) and woke us up a couple of times. After two nights we reported the issue to the staff, who offered to try and move us, but since we only had one night left we decided to remain in our room. Other than that, the stay was perfect.

My spouse and I have been staying at the DC Capitol Hill for 10 years for work and pleasure because it's centrally located, friendly staff, and the rooms are spacious. And because Teresa at the front desk always goes out of her way to greet us, and chat. It's always a pleasure seeing her, and her beautiful smile. We stayed there recently for one night on August 17th, before driving to Southern MD to attend a family wedding on August 20th, 2022. The next morning Teresa greeted us in the lobby as we were headed to the restaurant for breakfast. We talked about one another's family and life. At checkout that morning we mentioned to her that we were returning on August 22, 2022, for one additional night before returning to Seattle, and could she block us a nice room. She asked us to call prior to returning to the hotel and she'd check availability. While driving back to DC. from Southern MD, I called the hotel and spoke with Darius Foster. During our conversation he informed me that Teresa was off today, and that he'd remembered us, and that he would block a nice room for us. When we arrived at the front desk Darius was very friendly, and he delivered on his promise. We travel a lot and we always stay at hotels where we feel appreciated, and valued as a customer. Thank you Teresa and Darius for always making us feel special when we stay at your hotel. We'll be back and we look forward to seeing you both.

The free breakfast and evening drinks were very satisfying. In particular, the omelettes cooked on the spot were very delicious. However, the pool did not seem to be maintained. The location was good for sightseeing, and there were many convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so it was very convenient.

From the time Brysen handled the details of our check in until the time we checked out, our party (which had nine rooms for a weekend) was handled with thoughtfulness and care. The facility is beautiful and well kept. The location is wonderful and convenient to everything. However, the team working at the hotel made our weekend. They were gracious, welcoming and extended us every courtesy to help us to navigate a very busy weekend. Taxis to get us to the event? No problem. Room service with complicated orders? Done. Brysen even ran out to pick up an order for us when we unfortunately arrived during a time when the kitchen was closed. Literally going the extra mile. We were treated as honored guests and had a lovely time. Thanks to Lindsey for the no fuss checkout with so many details handled efficiently and politely. We will return happily to Sofitel DC on our next trip to DC.

You have to come to Infamy omg! it was so wonderful we had the best service ever from Donna, Luca, Iyana… we hung around for a few hours and had amazing cocktails and wonderful service, Chris the manager came over to offer us a last call at 1130 just to make sure we were happy the whole staff gives off excellent energy and really engages with us

My wife and I stayed at the Salamander overnight before our flight out of Dulles to Tanzania. To preface this review, I specifically booked this hotel due to past experience with Mandarin Oriental, so I was disappointed to hear of the exchange but gave it a shot anyway. I was disappointed with check in, with the staff, and with the general atmosphere. The hotel itself was clean, the finishes were decent, and the spa area is very nice...I just don't feel they warrant the price tag when the other variables are lacking. We arrived around 11:30, I had informed months before that the arrival would be around 12. We were told it wasn't guaranteed, but they would put that one in priority to be ready. Upon our arrival, we're told it is just awaiting inspection and it should be no later than 12:30. No problem, we visited The Lounge for lunch. We wrapped up around 12:30 and the weather precluded us from exploring much outside the hotel. Long story short, our room was not ready until 2:40. I acknowledge that check in time is actually 3, but had it been presented that way, we would have gotten a taxi and went elsewhere to kill 3 hours. The staff did not seem very invested in the hotel or interested in us. In my experience, something that sets 5 star hotels apart is the staff willingness to go the extra mile, to make a note to check back in with you, and to always be present. Between the doormen not paying attention, the front desk giving no updates on the room status without prodding, and waiting at the Lounge hostess stand for several minutes before going down to the bar and asking the bartender if we should seat ourselves (he found the hostess), it was just lacking. I don't need someone to hold my door or be worried about us sitting in the chairs by the front desk for 2 hours, but I paid for that experience and did not get it. Lastly, the general atmosphere...it just did not have a 5 star vibe. In 5 stars, folks are walking around, ensuring nothing is out of place and everything is picture perfect. This was not the case, the lobby restroom was in a bit of disarray...no one ensured that folks were there to help. It was just disappointing. All that to say...the place is clean, it is nice, you won't be disappointed there. But I believe I would have gotten better service at the Hilton down the road for half the price. Or we've stayed at the Park Hyatt in DC previously and absolutely adored the staff and facilities.

What an amazing property!!!! The moment we pulled up to the property the stellar service and red carpet was rolled out! The door man Mohamed a true veteran and class act! He shared all of my options as a guest in reference to my parking and ultimately provided us with a reserved parking spot right in front of the building bravo bravo sir!!! The check in process was just as stellar with our friend Frank Poku he is all a guest service agent needs to be professional, courteous, with so much knowledge of the area and the property itself!!! The room was fantastic, clean, spacious, and a perfect location on a high floor. This will be our property of choice for every DC trip moving forward!!! tProfessional,

The trip was great and the stay at the hotel totally contributed to this. I would recommend the hotel and will also stay here again.

We chose the Hilton because of its location at DuPont Circle and proximity to the metro. It was perfect. Very clean and excellent service. We had a corner room with large windows and a nice view. We weren’t able to check in early and still have our chosen room but we left our luggage with the bell captain, parked and went off to explore on foot for awhile, taking the advice from a helpful front desk clerk for a nice place for lunch close by. Everything was close by. It worked out perfectly. The price of the hotel was excellent too which offset the cost of parking ($56/day) in the garage below where the car stayed for the whole trip. It was very easy to park and get back inside. The restaurants looked lovely but we didn’t eat there. There were just too many local choices and we were out walking most of the day. The bell captain was helpful in getting us a cab one cold evening when my Uber app was be working well. He went outside in the cold until he was able to hail one for us (comparable in price to the Uber we would’ve taken) Lovely stay. Highly recommend.

Come to DC to live in Park Hyatt for 3 days. The area where you are located should be good. If you take a taxi, you can't go anywhere, but if you take the subway, there is still a distance from the subway station. The doorman is more welcoming. The only drawback is that the three nights of staying in the hotel did not change the toiletries once.
