The hype
Guests are blown away by the lobby's grandeur and the sheer size of the rooms, but many feel the service doesn't always match the astronomical rates.

为什么人们喜欢它
- Unbeatable location inside the historic Old Post Office building
- Massive rooms with soaring ceilings that make other DC hotels feel like closets
- The Clock Tower observation deck offers the best free views in the city
快速了解： It's a stunning architectural flex with a price tag to match, but the vibe can feel a bit like a hollowed-out cathedral—grand, quiet, and slightly soulless.
@Tonyasachika 的评论: I stayed here for a winter getaway and was blown away. The lobby is stunning with live harp music, and my room had incredibly high ceilings that made it feel massive. Being steps from the museums made exploring so easy. Truly a bucket-list stay.

Reality check
The 'historic' charm sometimes translates to worn furniture and stained carpets that haven't been updated since the previous ownership.
- You love 'old money' aesthetics and Romanesque Revival architecture
- You need to be steps away from the National Mall and museums
- You appreciate a dead-silent hotel bar (Peacock Alley) for business meetings
清洁与维护
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good, but reports of missed turndown service and dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling marble, but check the grout in the shower; some wear and tear reported.
- Maintenance: The building is old (1899). Expect some creaky floors and occasional peeling paint on window frames.
- Linens & towels: High quality, but pillows are frequently described as 'flat' or 'lumpy'.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive (signature scent); rooms are generally neutral but some report mustiness in older carpeted rooms.

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is there a pool?
No. This is the biggest deal-breaker for families. There is a spa and gym, but no pool.
Does the hotel have a resort fee?
Not explicitly listed as a 'resort fee' in booking engines, but watch out for 'destination fees' or 'taxes and fees' that can add ~$35/night. Always check the final breakdown.
Is breakfast included?
No. It is a la carte at Peacock Alley. Expect to pay ~$32 for Eggs Benedict and $12 for coffee.
How much is parking?
Valet is approximately $95 per night. Self-parking is not available on-site.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, but with a steep $250 non-refundable fee per stay.
What happened to the Trump Hotel?
This is the same building. It was sold and rebranded as Waldorf Astoria in 2022. The gold accents remain, but the management is now Hilton.

The 'Clock Tower' entrance is separate; you don't need to be a guest to go up, but guests get to skip the line if they ask the concierge.
- ✨
There is a hidden 'Museum of the Old Post Office' in the clock tower waiting area that most people miss.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'atrium' rooms have windows that look into the lobby, meaning you have to keep curtains closed for privacy.
💡The walk from the elevator to some rooms can be comically long due to the building's massive footprint.
💡Room service ice delivery can take 30+ minutes; there are no ice machines in the halls.
💡The Aesop toiletries are great, but sometimes they only give you one set for a bathroom the size of a studio apartment.
💡The gym is in the basement and feels a bit dungeon-like compared to the airy lobby.
