The Verdict

With a StayIQ of 86%, Room 903 excels where it matters most—sleep and service.

Whether you’re here for business or leisure, this Fairmont stay ensures you'll rest easy, even if you have to tether your own hotspot.


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.
