I cherish old classic properties like the Jefferson, where they have restored and respected the beauty of the original structure yet have all modern facilities to create an all around delightful environment. The experience was made even better with the wonderful and warm staff. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a wonderful unexpected time at The Jefferson. In town for a family wedding my niece suggested we stay at her favorite hotel! And we are so glad we did. The property is beautiful, the staff friendly, and our dinner was delicious! Would definitely recommend The Jefferson Hotel!

We loved our stay! My husband and I felt welcome and relaxed. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Our room was beautiful, especially the bathroom! Our only complaint is the pillows. Both of our necks hurt, but that’s kind of normal for hotels in general. This was a splurge for us and we enjoyed it.

A grand hotel.
First visit back to the Jefferson in 42 years. Even more beautiful than we remembered. Meticulously maintained, the rooms are spacious with all the amenities one could ask for. A walk in closet, large bathroom with double sinks and separate shower, tub and lavatory. The service and staff are excellent from the front desk to the wait staff at Lemaire where we had a delicious meal and great breakfast. The Jefferson is what a 5 star hotel should be.
