Omni Shoreham Hotel

About The Hotel

A 3.9-rated (1,021 reviews) 3-star Omni Shoreham Hotel Washington DC at 2500 Calvert St Nw in Woodley Park (Woodley Park-Zoo Metro) — a historic 1930 grand-scale resort with sprawling lobby. Subratings 3.8-4.4 with location 4.4, cleanliness 4.2, sleep quality 4.2, service 4.1, rooms 4.0 and value 3.8 (softest). Amenities include valet parking, WiFi, fitness center, POOL (rare resort-scale outdoor pool for DC), bar/lounge, patio, kids TV and highchairs. Legacy Hot Tub Hotels frontmatter markets in-room jacuzzi suites; TripAdvisor amenity listings do not confirm in-room whirlpools — verify at booking. Recent 5-star reviews focus on the resort pool as booking driver (“We absolutely loved our experience at Omni Shoreham. My daughter (6yo) and I traveled to DC for an overnight and trip to the National Zoo. I chose the hotel because of the resort pool and because of its close proximity t[o]” the Zoo), named-staff Luna at front desk, and repeat-birthday-tradition stays (“This is the fourth year in a row I spent my birthday at the Omni shore hotel”). A candid 5-star flags dated rooms: “The room we had was spacious and has good beds. The interior of the room was well taken care off, but outdated.” Best for family-with-kids National-Zoo-adjacent stays, Select Guest Omni loyalists, resort-pool-oriented DC family weekends and Woodley-Park-Metro travelers accepting the dated-rooms tradeoff.

What Guests Are Saying

“This is the fourth year in a row I spent my birthday at the Omni shore hotel in Washington we love it here the rooms are great and the hotel is very well maintained but the best part of it is the staff at the hotel especially Lydia at the pool bar when I go down my first day I know I’m on vacation when I see her she mixes a great drink and it’s always fun to talk to also Henry at the pool check-in is always a delight friendly and super helpful the rooms were clean and the housekeeper who cleaned our room was wonderful room 577 we will be back next year and just love it here” — David F., 5 stars

“Beautiful location, big american styl hotel with a huge lobby, very kind peolpe at the reception. The room we had, was spacious and has good beds. The interiour of the room was well taken care off, but outdated. With good parking facility, close to public transport and easy access to down town Washington. In the close surrounding, you will nice breakfast, lunch and dinner facillities as well as a supermarket and more (just a 2 minutes walk.) And don’t forget to jump into the pool and take a walk in the garden.” — Jan J., 5 stars

“We absolutely loved our experience at Omni Shoreham. My daughter (6yo) and I traveled to DC for an overnight and trip to the National Zoo. I chose the hotel because of the resort pool and because of its close proximity to the zoo. I cannot wait to go back . The pool is amazing; the attention to detail great. We were truly able to relax and enjoy. The food and drinks (pool bar, Robert’s, Morsels coffee) were all wonderful. Highly recommend!” — SeeTheWorldfrom215, 5 stars
