I'm sorry to say that a 5* property with this amenity combo has not yet been reported/ID'd to the board.

Best guess would be The Hay-Adams Hotel or Willard InterContinental.

ok, thank you guys.

 

I am also seeing a 4.5* hotel in White House - Downtown area at these dates, 2 rooms for 4 guests, $233 per night. What's your best guess?

Yes, i saw that $135 hotel too. But also there is one $233 hotel with 4.5*. I thought they are different hotels, the $233 hotel should be better.

Not necessarily. When searching on HOTWIRE, it's not unusual for a 3* to be more expensive than a 4* - hotels price independently and more expensive does not necessarily mean better.

 

I am now seeing the $235 and the $135 4.5*'s in the zone now, not sure why I wasn't this morning.

 

I do continue to believe that the more expensive was the Loews Madison. The cheaper hotel may be the W Hotel or Sofitel Layfayette Square, although I'd lean more towards the W.

 

If you do believe the potential $235 hotel is better, the question becomes "is the potential hotel that's $235 worth the extra $100 per night"? If you believe the 4.5* priced $100 less is a better option than the 4.5* at $235, then all the better. You also have to ask how much time you are going to spend in the hotel.

 

Let us know your thoughts and if you have additional questions.

To further expand upon AaronJB's comments, take this example of TWO HOTELS in the same zone:

HOTEL A:

100 rooms total at the hotel

has a large wedding booked on a Saturday nite (with many out of town guests staying over)

also has a company conference taking place at the hotel over the same dates

--> as a result of the above, the hotel is nearly fully booked and 96 of their 100 rooms are booked

HOTEL B:

100 rooms total at the hotel

no events taking place at the hotel for the same dates as HOTEL A above

--> as a result of the above, the hotel has only 35 of their 100 rooms booked

In the example above, Hotel A would price their rooms very high and near rack rate, whereas Hotel B is trying to book more rooms and will set prices very aggressively... all of this is done with no reflection as to the quality of either property.
