The Hay-Adams

The Hay-Adams is located across the street from the White House at Lafayette Square, in downtown Washington, DC holding a special place in the heart of Washington, DC history.

The classic Hay-Adams Hotel takes its name from earlier residents of the hotel, John Hay, private secretary to President Abraham Lincoln, and later Ambassador to the United Kingdom and Secretary of State under Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt; and Henry Adams, an acclaimed author and descendant of U.S. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Like their homes, the Hay-Adams has long been a favorite gathering place in the nation's capital.

One of the Nation's finer hotels, The Hay-Adams is distinguished for its class of clientele and place in the social and official circles of Washington. The Hay-Adams is a combination of Metropolitan facilities with charm and hospitality of the mansion during the former days.
