Fairmont Washington DC, Georgetown gets everything right with three newly renovated suites on its gold floor.
Fairmont Washington’s newly designed Gold-level rooms include the Magnolia Suite.
The urban getaway has a new standard. Gold, that is. I’m still grinning after an evening spent in the newly refurbished Shenandoah Suite at the 413-room Fairmont Washington, Georgetown (fairmont.com/washington) on the property’s Gold level.
The suites feature Duxiana sateen sheets and a DUX mattress
The 1,200-square-foot room boasts laudable amenities, including Duxiana sateen sheets and DUX mattress (count me among the brand’s new disciples). Sleeping here isn’t normal; it’s like a ballet: beautiful, choreographed and memorable.
The living room in the Shenandoah Suite
Three new suites were redesigned by New York City-based designer Pierre Josselin of Jeffrey Beers International (jeffreybeers.com). Two Magnolia suites measure 1,100 square feet, and the Shenandoah suite is 1,200. In addition to an expansive bedroom, spaces include living and dining areas, a powder room and a butler’s pantry. White and gray marble baths add a luxe spa aesthetic, and plush inset carpeting, dark-stained wood flooring and golden wallcovering complete a city pied-a-terre feel. The suites also overlook the property’s lovely courtyard.
Fairmont’s Gold Club Blue Room.
Another benefit of the suites is their location on the Fairmont Gold floor. Guests access a lounge with food and beverages (cocktails, wine and beer included) throughout the day. A concierge orders additional meals, fulfills requests and sets up itineraries in Georgetown and beyond. During my visit, my wife and I kick back in the room, dine on crab cakes and brilliantly prepared fish tacos on our suite’s candlelit marble table and, later, settle in for a movie on the suite’s massive flatscreen. Nights like this need nothing more. Sleeping on those sheets can wait.
