I’ve stayed at the Waldorf Astoria DC for the past three years, and it’s been fantastic every single time. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are spacious, well-designed, and feel truly luxurious. It’s the kind of place where you can actually relax after a busy day in the city. What really makes the experience special, though, is the staff. Everyone is attentive and professional, and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. A special shoutout to Anteneh, the bellhop, who has remembered me every year since my first stay in 2022. He greets me like an old friend and always goes above and beyond. One time, when my Uber Eats driver wouldn’t come to the entrance, Anteneh ran out in the rain to get my order — that kind of service is rare. Overall, the Waldorf Astoria DC is not just a luxury hotel, it’s a place that feels personal and memorable. Highly recommend.

My family and I stayed at the Waldorf in early July. I am a loyal Hilton guest, and I used over 400k points for the stay. I travel often for work and these points are hard earned. During the visit one of the valet workers gave the keys to our rental car to another guest who then left town with our keys. They did not receive the keys back for 6 days after we checked out, at which time the Waldorf was able to return my rental car. They covered the difference in cost for the extended rental (which they should) and covered $100 worth of room service. It took them over 2 weeks to reimburse me for the added expense of extending the reservation. I reached out to the hotel 2 different times after the check was received to ask for some of my hard-earned points back due to the hassle of having to deal with this issue both during and after our trip. They have yet to respond. I had to reach out daily to ask if the keys had been received because the hotel would not take the initiative to reach out to me. I thought it was only fair that they return some of my points for the time and frustration this caused but they continue to ignore a loyal guest. This makes you realize that loyalty only goes one way.

Expensive but arguably worth it. Exceptional, attentive and personalized service. Luxurious lodgings, fine dining options, and extremely convenient location in the center of DC. One of the best hotel stays of my life.

It was a very wonderful stay at Waldorf Astoria DC. From my arrival until the departure, everything was amazing. Special shout out must go to Aleksander who did not remember just my name, but he also remembered everything about me, which made an enormous impact on me. I am already making plans to come back in December this year, and i can not wait to come back.

Excellent stay with incredible service. The Door Person, Danish, made us feel especially well-cared for. Service was friendly, enthusiastic, and top-tier with keen attention to detail.
