The Hay-Adams Hotel is located across from Lafayette Square and the White House. Although it was originally built to serve as a residential hotel in the 1920s, it is now a luxury hotel that's close to many of the key visitor attractions in the D.C. area. In addition to its great location, the Hay–Adams Hotel is said to be haunted by the wife of Henry Adams's who committed suicide on the site in 1885, well before the hotel was built.
