    This hotel exceeded my expectations with its luxurious amenities. The Spa & wellness centre was exceptional, offering guests an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and steam room, as well as full body massages and foot massages. The saltwater pool was a lovely touch, and the Spa lounge was a perfect place to relax. The room's advantages were impressive with private facilities that made me feel pampered, and the restaurant offered delicious in-room breakfast.

    The only negative aspect I encountered was the location, which was not within walking distance of all the main tourist areas, but the hotel's excellent service made up for the minor inconvenience.

    The hotel's cozy and warm decor made me feel right at home. The comfortable seating areas and easy accessibility throughout the property made it perfect for seniors like myself to enjoy. , the easy access to the main areas and amenities made it convenient for a leisurely stay.

    I would hope for clearer signs for the spa and more attentive staff for a smoother vacation for senior people.

    Felt like a celebrity in a fancy commercial, thanks to Mimi and Adelsia. Loved the staff, dressed to impress. The rooftop views were simply amazing. The library was a great place to relax.

    Oh, how I missed ice machines and late-night room service. The skeleton staff at night was a real treat.

    We had a delightful 2-day stay at this historical hotel. The spa was fantastic, and the location was convenient with a metro station and famous monuments in walking distance. The Potomac river view from our room was stunning, and the river walk towards The Lincoln Memorial was beautiful. The hotel's pool and gym were excellent, and the staff at the front desk and bar were lovely. The rooms were spacious, with great views and a fun 60s/70s vibe that matched the hotel's history. The bathroom was luxurious, and the room service breakfast was delicious.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at the Watergate Hotel in Georgetown for my Georgetown Graduation. The service was fabulous and the communal areas were spacious and stylishly clean. The golden bottled whiskey bar and stunning rooftop were perfect for celebrating our special occasion. The doorman, check-in staff, and bellhops were all top-notch. The highlight of our stay was the "TOP CHEF" quality food, especially the Polenta Crisp zucchini flowers and foam appetizer, the Asparagus and Peas appetizer, and the Crispy skinned Salmon main dish. The buffet breakfast was also very good, with lovely helpful servers and staff working full speed.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our anniversary celebration even more special. The hotel's facilities, including the saltwater pool, spa, and gym, were top-notch. We also enjoyed exploring the "scandal room" and learning about the history of the hotel. The location was perfect, with easy access to the monuments and National Mall.

    During my business trip to Washington, the director chose the Watergate Hotel Georgetown for our stay. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique mermaid fitness class, a delightful combination of swimming, core, cardio, and strength training held on Saturday mornings at 9 am. It provided a fun and refreshing start to my day, and the instructor was excellent. The luxurious amenities and impeccable service made my stay truly enjoyable. The stylish and comfortable rooms, with modern facilities and stunning views, exceeded my expectations. The location was convenient, allowing easy access to the business district and popular attractions.

    Could not be improved in any way.

    The bell hop from Moracowas was an absolute gem, always smiling and happy to help. The breakfast room service was outstanding, with eggs your way and delicious waffles and french toast. The front desk staff was professional and accommodating, while Henry greeted us with a warm smile and even had a charming conversation in French. The restaurant staff was AMAZING, and the bar staff at Kingbird served the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. The room was spacious, modern, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was impeccable, and I can't wait to visit the state-of-the-art spa next time. Thank you everyone at the hotel for a perfect stay!

    The cleanliness of the fitness room could have been better, with more fresh towels and sanitary wipe stations. Additionally, some guests did not put things back where they belong, making the room messy.

    Chose this hotel for a congress and the legendary and luxurious hotel was the perfect home base for my trip to the nation's capital. The venue offered excellent amenities and a convenient location for my business needs.

    The hotel is located in a cozy area and is close enough to walk to points of interest while being away from the crowded mall. The breakfast is enjoyable, and the rooms have elegant bathrooms. The hotel offers a swimming pool, Spa, and rooftop bar with stunning views, and outdoor seating in clear igloos to keep guests warm.

    There is no way to reserve the outside areas, making it difficult for guests to plan their day.

    We had a fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, with a beautiful view of the river. The housekeeping staff did a great job and provided plenty of towels. The indoor pool was a nice addition, and we enjoyed taking a dip in the saltwater pool. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our stay. We also appreciated the fast room service, which was prompt and efficient.

    There were a few minor drawbacks during our stay. We were disappointed when the rooftop was closed off for a wedding party, as we had hoped to enjoy the view.

    As I stepped into the swanky, amber-lit lounge, I was greeted by an undulating wall of 2,500 illuminated whisky bottles, creating an intimate atmosphere perfect for a high-caliber meeting. It felt like walking into a scene from a Bond movie, adding a touch of glamour to my stay.
