Things To Do

Off the Record

Located right in the basement of the Hay Adams Hotel. Off The Record was chosen by Forbes.com as one of the "World's Best Hotel Bars." Locally it is known as downtown Washington, D.C.'s best "place to be seen and not heard." Surrounded by caricatures of the city's political elite both past and present, Off The Record is a popular place for Washingtonians and guests of The Hay-Adams to relax. The upscale hotel bar also serves an inspired menu and superb wine selection.

O Museum in The Mansion

This is one of our favorite place to take guests in DC. When you visit the O Museum, you will be walking in the footsteps of presidents and freedom fighters, historians and authors, artists and musicians, athletes and scientists, scholars and more. You will find your way through immersive exhibits and over 80 secret doors - making it one of DC's most unique fun attractions.
