From parleys between Washington power brokers and politicos to the most elite social affairs, private events at The Jefferson, Washington, DC will be hosted with a skill, warmth and discretion worthy of the capital’s finest small hotel. This 99-room Beaux Arts jewel, strategically located just four blocks north of the White House, has enjoyed a history rife with significance on the international political and social scene. Pricate dining at The Jefferson will be distinguished by a selection of individually designed, intimate spaces that will allow one group to enjoy the full attention of The Jefferson’s experienced staff. Chef Damon Gordon has brought to Washington an award-winning culinary style developed under the tutelage of Alain Ducasse and at the Michelin-starred Waterside Inn in his native U.K. While each room is utterly distinctive in design, all evoke the spirit of the hotel’s namesake, who unquestionably presided over some of the most influential gatherings in history.

One of the finest restaurants in the capital, Plume serves as a discreet and elegant backdrop to the culinary artistry of our executive chef, Chris Jakubiec. Choose a cozy nook or a table by our inviting fireplace as you savor classic dishes expertly executed by Chef Jakubeic with lighter, contemporary finishing touches that appeal to today’s enlightened palates. Chef Jakubeic draws on the traditional techniques he mastered under the tutelage of Alain Ducasse in New York City, creating seasonal menus inspired by the fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in Thomas Jefferson’s gardens. Presided over by sommelier Michael Scaffidi, formerly of French Laundry, Plume’s wine list spans more than a dozen nationalities and dates back to a rare 1780 Borges Madeira Bual. Among the more than 50 vintages are those Jefferson himself enjoyed in his time as well as newer wines he might select were he alive today.
