Obamas to Stay at Historic Hay-Adams Hotel Before White House Move
The Obama family will be staying at the beautiful, historic Hay-Adams Hotel before they move into the White House.
Opened in 1928, the hotel sits across Lafayette Square from the White House, Obama's eventual work place and home. Its name comes from two historical figures who lived on the site: John Hay, the private assistant to President Abraham Lincoln and later secretary of state, and Henry Adams, an author and descendant of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
The Hay-Adams has 145 rooms and suites, featuring marble bathrooms, intricately carved plaster ceilings and ornamental fireplaces and balconies - with views of the White House, Lafayette Square and St. John's Church - in certain rooms.
Room amenities include custom Italian bed linens and towels, goose down duvets and pillows (hypoallergenic pillows are available; Malia has allergies), plush microfiber bathrobes and slippers for adults and kids, Bose CD music systems with assorted CDs, exclusive Etro toiletries, complimentary Fiji bottled water and a nightly turndown service.
Barack and Michelle's daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, will soon be attending school at the Sidwell Friends School so the family needs a place to stay before they get to move into the White House. The Hay-Adams is a great choice. It's a fabulous hotel that offers a clear view of the White House. You can find more information about the hotel on the website at hayadams.com.
