This year marks the third consecutive year that The Jefferson, inspired by Thomas Jefferson—the nation’s third president—takes the No. 1 position. Every aspect of this hotel reflects the historical figure; all 99 guest rooms draw inspiration from his travels, and the bar, Quill, pays homage to the writing instrument of his era. One reader expressed, “It is quiet, beautiful, and highly service-oriented. The rooms are well appointed, and the dining is impeccable.” The Jefferson boasts D.C.’s only Forbes five-star restaurant, Plume, reminiscent of Monticello’s gardens.
