Everything was perfect! I heard "the best meal I have EVER had" from several guests. It was so delicious and perfectly prepared. The Chef delighted us with his description of each course. Every one of the staff treated us like royalty! Our DC Chapter was founded at the Mansion on O and we all feel as though it is our home in the nation's capitol. Many thanks to H and Ted and all of those who have welcomed us time and again to the marvelous, magical Mansion on O!

OMG! From the planning stage to farewell to our last guest - who did not wish to leave- the staff and Ms H provided first class and top notch service. Some guests stayed at the mansion and raved about the room and the staff. Everyone mentioned how good the food was. This was everything that the couple wanted for their engagement party.

Dress Code >
The Mansion truly is a way of life. We share this world, it's all about letting go. Taking risks. Opening your heart.
It's where CEOs inspire their employees. It's where business associates and friends meet for drinks and sweets. It's where artists and authors find their Muse. It's where families gather for Sunday brunch. And it's where the music plays on, beyond forever.
At The Mansion we believe if we are true to your vision, committed to your path and willing to share, we all can achieve things beyond what we know.
We encourage being yourself, support creativity and embrace passion of expression.
Of course you will want to check with your host if you are coming for a private event. So, whether it is flowers in your hair, business attire, a feather boa or your favorite sports teams colors, feel free to wear them here... all we ask is that you don't come nude!
