The Fairmont Finesse: A Plush Stay with a Few Quirks
A Bed Fit for Royalty
Room 903 at the Fairmont Washington, DC, delivers a sleep experience so divine it could turn insomniacs into deep sleepers. The linens, mattress, and pillows all score a perfect 100%, making the bed feel like a cloud engineered for optimal slumber. If sleep were a sport, this bed would take home the gold.
A Room with (Some) A View
The room itself is a study in balance—immaculately clean, thoughtfully laid out, but with a view that inspires more of a "hmm" than a "wow". The workspace is functional but not exactly built for marathon work sessions, and the HVAC is serviceable but could use a touch more precision. Outlets are abundant enough, and room service and the minibar deliver a solid performance at 80% each—ideal for those who appreciate a well-stocked, well-served experience.
A Bathroom Worth Lingering In
The bathroom shines like a five-star spa retreat, boasting impeccable cleanliness, perfect water pressure, an unwaveringly hot shower, and towels that could double as clouds. Whether it’s a morning wake-up or a post-exploration unwind, this bathroom delivers in spades.
Hotel Hustle & Bustle
The Fairmont itself earns high marks in service, ensuring guests feel well cared for. The lobby sets an elegant tone, and the fitness center is well-equipped enough to offset some of the indulgences from the bar and restaurant. The location is strategic, making DC’s attractions easily accessible, though the Wi-Fi’s sluggish performance might make digital nomads break into a nervous sweat.
