From our first impression on entering the main lobby and its early architectural character to the fine dining experience at the wedding reception held on the premises, quality was what it was. I have traveled to many hotels around the world and this is worth staying at. The rooms were clean and vintage like fine wine. The staff at the front desk, waiters, waitresses, chef all were among the best I have experienced in my many years of traveling. I had the privilege of talking with a permanent guest at the hotel who has lived there for 28 years. I said it must be beautiful at Christmas in the main lobby and she said it was. And, she told me of a train exhibit just off the lobby that is popular then. I asked if it was there now and she said she thought it was. After she left, I asked the main desk if indeed there was a train exhibit behind a locked door. I was assured there was and would I like a private viewing of it. How wonderful and accommodating everyone was. This is a must visit, must stay , must see and experience. The George Washington hotel reminds me of the time of the Great Gatsby. I'll be back.
