    Breathtaking water view from my room's "balcony. " staff gave top-notch service. Spa & wellness centre was a bliss 😍. Breakfast included. Only downside: limited street life nearby.

    Staying in this hotel was a pleasant experience. the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome. the room was tastefully decorated in a retro style, giving a nod to the hotel's iconic history. the breakfast served was excellent, setting us up for a day of exploring the cozy Georgetown area. the workout room was top-notch, perfect for fitness enthusiasts like me. Overall, the service was impeccable, making our stay truly enjoyable.

    One minor downside was the lack of tea and coffee facilities in the room, which would have been a nice touch. the view from the river view room didn't quite live up to expectations, as it faced an apartment complex instead.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and the shower was excellent. However, the lack of a coffee maker in the room and accessibility issues with the restaurant and bar were disappointing. The complex itself is a bit dated, with a dirty and empty mall. Despite these drawbacks, the attentive reception staff and pleasant spa room made for a nice stay.

    The hotel's renovated 60’s vibe is stunningly beautiful, and the staff are super polite and helpful – a rarity these days! The location was perfect for us, near both Georgetown and the White House, and the staff even managed our room requests with a river view and extra accommodations for the kids - made us feel like royalty 🌟. The rooms were luxurious, but the spa area did have a strong chemical smell that could use a little improvement, yet it didn't ruin our overall comfy and enjoyable stay!

    Rooms offer a fabulous view, spacious and chic, the showers are top-notch, and the elevator system is quick and efficient. The gym and pool are great for unwinding and getting in a workout, with a sauna for a relaxing moment. However, the lack of a coffee maker in the room was a slight downside, especially for early risers ☕.

    Although the room had minor issues like a dated closet and missing screws on the HVAC cover, the staff was excellent. The Salmon sliders at the whisky bar were not to my taste, but the valet and concierge services were impeccable. Overall, a good stay with improvements needed.

    The local-inspired bites at Kingbird will make your taste buds do a happy dance, while the magicians on Sundays add a touch of magic for the little ones. Historical charm, friendly staff, and cozy balconies round out the experience.

    Despite the upscale vibe, the $400 room didn't come with a river view as promised. The rooftop restrictions left a sour taste, but hey, the positives kept us sipping with a smile!

    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.

    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.

    The staff were friendly and accommodating, making our daughter feel welcome. The convenient location close to both the Kennedy Center and Georgetown added to the overall positive experience. However, the lack of complimentary services and the high prices for food and drinks were a downside, compared to other similar hotels we've stayed in before.

    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.

    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. some guests did not put things back where they belong, making the room messy.

    A whirlwind of entertainment and cultural discovery, my stay in a riverside gem was pure bliss. Rooftop views and swanky lounges offered a new perspective, balanced by cozy igloo dinners and intimate spa retreats. Embracing the 1970s spirit with vintage relics and modern amenities, my dog even enjoyed the royal treatment. I left feeling like a VIP, ready to conquer the world with a touch of elegance and a hint of mischief. Cheers to a legendary adventure!
