Rather than being set on a busy thoroughfare, Jury's Normandy Inn is actually located on a private street in Washington's prestigious embassy district just off Connecticut Avenue. Guests will find the trendy and sophisticated shops, restaurants and nightclubs of Dupont Circle and Georgetown easily accessible from their doorsteps. Using the hotel as their base, tourists also can enjoy easy access to the city's major historical landmarks, including the Kennedy Center for the Arts, the White House, Capitol Hill and the many museums, especially if they take the famous trolley tours. Or if they just want to relax, they can curl up with good books or play board games in the sunny parlor, which offers tea and cookies in the afternoons and a wine and cheese reception on Tuesday nights. Meanwhile, they can eat snacks or read complimentary newspapers while sitting on the outdoor terrace. For entertaining friends or playing games with family members, guests will find the hotel's sun room the perfect venue. The hotel also provides dry cleaning and laundry facilities.
Reviewers have called the hotel an elegant, old world retreat that attracts visitors from around the world. The 75 guest rooms are outfitted in classic colonial style furnishings with European floral accents. Amenities include cable TVs, voice mail, coffee makers, hair dryers, mini refrigerators and high speed Internet access. Elegant but not stuffy, the colonial decor and homey touches make Jury's Normandy Inn the perfect spot for tourists desiring a quiet retreat, but too far away, from the city center.
