Discover the culture and rich history of the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C.’s only resort, which boasts a unique location and picturesque garden views. The Shoreham hosted every presidential inaugural ball of the 20th century since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the Shoreham has also played host to a number of famous entertainers in the legendary Blue Room throughout its 90-year history.

Step into the grand lobby and become surrounded by grandeur and opulence, as the sparkling crystal and marble are accented by ornate floral arrangements. The Beatles stayed at the Shoreham during their first trip to the United States and wrote their set list on Shoreham stationery, which is now displayed in the lobby. Jimi Hendrix also penned “Bold as Love” on Shoreham stationery during his stay at the hotel.

Walk out onto the terrace overlooking the gardens and backyard, which are situated on 11 acres overlooking Rock Creek Park. The hotel’s grounds are meticulously cared for and feature 9,000 tulips and cherry blossom trees in season, as well as the heated resort pool, a best kept secret of the resort.
