The Hay-Adams Hotel is a luxury hotel in Washington, D.C., located at 800 16th Street, NW, across Lafayette Park from the White House, and across the street from St. John's Episcopal Church. The homes of John Hay and Henry Adams were formerly located at this site, on the corner of 16th Street and H Street NW. In 1927, Harry Wardman bought the property and razed the homes. The hotel, designed by Mihran Mesrobian, was built on the site in 1928, in Italian Renaissance style.

The hotel's slogan is, "The only thing overlooked is the White House."
