The Madison Hotel is a luxury hotel in Washington, D.C., built in 1963.
The Madison was constructed by developer Marshall Coyne, [1] along with the adjoining 100,000 sq ft, Madison Office Building. [2] The hotel was opened in February 1963, [3] by President John F. Kennedy. [4] When opened, it was Washington's first modern luxury hotel, with rooms renting at the then-unheard-of rate of $27 a night. In 1978, Coyne opened The Dolley Madison Hotel across M Street from the main hotel. The 42-room Dolley Madison operated as an ultra-luxury adjunct to The Madison until 1988, when Coyne sold it and it was demolished for construction of an office building. [5]
Loews Hotels assumed management of the hotel in April 2006, and it was renamed The Madison, A Loews Hotel. [6] The hotel and its adjoining office building were sold to The Jamestown Group in January 2011 for $123 million and Destination Hotels & Resorts assumed management from Loews, [7] returning the hotel to its original name. [8] The group renovated the property in 2012, as a cost of $22 million. [9] Loews Corp approached The Jamestown Group and offered to buy the hotel, and the sale was completed for approximately $145 million in December 2012, [10] with Jamestown retaining the office building. [11] The hotel rejoined the Loews chain in January 2013, becoming the Loews Madison Hotel. Jamestown sold the adjoining office building to Saudi investment bank Sidra Capital for $35 million in 2016. [12]
In September 2017, Loews sold the hotel to Walton Street Capital for $72.5 million. The actual sales price, the Washington Business Journal reported, was likely much higher, since the sale of the building did not include the price of intangible assets. Walton Street Capital retained Hilton Hotels & Resorts to manage the hotel, which was rebranded as The Madison Washington DC, a Hilton Hotel. [13] Walton Street Capital sold the hotel to AllianceBernstein in October 2020 for $65.3 million. [14] The hotel left Hilton on March 31, 2022, joining Marriott as The Madison Hotel. [15] The following day, on April 1, 2022, the hotel's sale to Fort Worth-based Crescent Real Estate for $61.2 million was announced. [16]
The AAA gave the hotel four diamonds out of five in 2012. The hotel has maintained that rating every year, and received four diamonds again for 2016. [17] Forbes Travel Guide (formerly known as Mobil Guide) declined to give the hotel five stars in 2016, nor did the hotel make its "recommended" list. [18]
Dolley Todd Madison was the wife of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States from 1809 to 1817. She was noted for holding Washington social functions in which she invited members of both political parties, essentially spearheading the concept of bipartisan cooperation. Previously, founders such as Thomas Jefferson would only meet with members of one party at a time, and politics could often be a violent affair resulting in physical altercations and even duels. Madison helped to create the idea that members of each party could amicably socialize, network, and negotiate with each other without violence. By innovating political institutions as the wife of James Madison, Dolley Madison did much to define the role of the President's spouse, known only much later by the title first lady—a function she had sometimes performed earlier for the widowed Thomas Jefferson.
