The Mayflower Hotel is located on Connecticut Avenue in Washington D.C. just off Dupont Circle. It was called the Grand Dame of Washington when it first opened in 1925 and was said to contain more gold trim than any other building except the Library of Congress. President Calvin Coolidge's inauguration ball was held here shortly after opening and an inauguration ball has been held here following every presidential election since. Franklin D. Roosevelt worked on his famous "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" inaugural address here and Harry S. Truman stayed here the first 90 days of his presidency while the White House was undergoing renovations. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was said to have lunched here daily for over twenty years. Today it continues as the favorite of Washington D.C.'s VIP guests.
Café Promenade, located just off the main lobby, evokes a sense of history and timeless grandeur serving exquisitely-prepared Mediterranean-style cuisine and is a favorite spot for both breakfast and mid-afternoon tea.
