Always wanted to stay at a Mandarin, and decided to finally do it during a weekend trip to DC. All of my expectations were exceeded! The staff is first class, and the customer service from the moment you arrive until you check-out is on another level.

The immediate surroundings of the hotel do leave a little to be desired in the way of activities, but the reno'd wharf and subsequent new stores/restaurants are only a 2 block walk, so there's that.

The aesthetics of the building itself and the interior design are exceedingly classy. My suite was gorgeous, and the food (both in-room and in the restaurant) was fantastic. You really feel special when staying here.

Mandarin hotels will definitely be on my priority stay list when traveling, and my Friends of M.O. membership will be getting a full workout.
