Hotel Review - Omni Shoreham Hotel - Washington DC

The Omni Shoreham is one of the many historic hotels in Washington DC. Located in the quieter Woodley Park neighborhood, this hotel is very popular for business events, weddings, and much more. The main tower dates back to the 1930s and in many ways it shows despite the hotel doing some renovations through the years. The hotel has two main groups of rooms guests can choose from. There’s the deluxe rooms which are in the main tower that have been refurbished and have all modern hotel amenities, and there’s the traditional rooms in the smaller Parkview tower in rear, which are not renovated and also don’t have air conditioning. For this stay we had a deluxe room on the top floor of the main tower, room 888 which is a pretty cool room number I must admit! I can’t say I’ve ever seen a room quite like this one either. The room was huge for a standard 2 queen room, the bathroom seemed to lack size, but it was fully functional despite its comically small size. One issue however that the hotel does have is the elevators, there’s just not enough for the hotel. In the main tower, there’s 2 small elevators per side, I was told the hotel plans to completely replace them in the not too distant future, but it’s worth noting. Overall this hotel seemed to be a pretty weakly branded Omni as the experience was not quite up to what all the other Omni hotels I’ve stayed in were, however it was still a very nice hotel. The food was great, most of the staff was friendly, and although there were some issues, most can be easily laughed off due to the building’s age. Overall I enjoyed the hotel and would recommend it for anyone wanting something more historic that’s out of the craziness of DC.

I just stayed there on the 5th floor and it was a beautiful hotel! I appreciate the video that you took.

That elevator had one son of a Dover buzz 🤭

I stayed here in 2017, the hotel rooms appear to be renovated. What side was this in?
Also when did they start charging extra for the fitness center and pool? When i stayed it wasn't like that.
I'd also like to mention that this was not a great hotel in my opinion. The mattress I had was one of the worst at the time. I may try this place again at some point but I prefer staying downtown when I come to DC, but the Metro station is a great thing to have, and the location is mediocre. It wasn't bad but I don't see myself staying here again

This room was in the West promenade, as discussed in the video. Many upscale hotels will charge for access to amenities like the fitness center/resort pool, and this property brands itself as a resort, so this is not too out of the ordinary. I did not experience any issues in regards to the mattress or sleep quality in my room, but the hotel has many more rooms than a normal Omni, and mattresses, like everything else, do wear out and require eventual replacement, if I recall the ones in my room were fairly new. Location-wise, I found it to be nice, out of the craziness, and it was also so safe that you could walk around at midnight with no worries of any crime happening. Although I probably would not stay at this hotel again since I work for a hotel company that competes with Omni for what was needed, it served me and, by extension, my family well, and if I, for any reason, had to return, I would not be against it.
