Our glamorous Paris Ballroom features a mix of historic flavor and French flair. For a more intimate event, choose from our charming reception spaces. We offer five multi-purpose rooms that you can adapt to fit your needs perfectly. They boast the names of five famous Parisian landmarks: Bastille, Concorde, Madeleine, Montmartre and St. Germain. We are also delighted to offer Opaline Bar & Brasserie - providing a unique setting steps away from the White House and other Washington DC attractions, along with a vibrant upscale bar, restaurant and outdoor terrace.

In every one of our magnifique venues, you’ll be able to delight your guests with exceptional cuisine and incomparable service. Start with amuse-bouches and hors d’œuvres before the main course is served. Pair your French fare with our spectacular selection of wine for a palate-pleasing experience.

We used the Sofitel for a welcome reception and for the base camp for our wedding. It was absolutely fantastic as a hotel and the reception was wonderful! It's not the cheapest of venues, but the quality of the venue and the attentiveness of the staff makes it all worth it! It's a fabulous hotel in a great location and the staff were lovely!
