We always have a wonderful experience at the Waldorf Astoria DC. The property is stunning, and the level of service is consistently top-tier. A special mention to Dennis, the valet, who is always kind and accommodating every time we visit. His professionalism and warm demeanor are part of what makes our stays so memorable. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a luxury experience in DC.

The hotel is as luxurious as many have described. The hospitality of the front desk is great, but the front doormen weren't always attentive but talking among themselves in the morning. Peacock Alley restaurant's eggs benedict was fantastic and cooked exactly as I asked. The ham was sliced thin and layered so it cut easily and the bread was crispy. Unfortunately, like some other Waldorf Astoria's, the $25 Diamond/Gold a day credit does not apply to all drinks. The restaurant/bar was busy at night, but very peaceful in the morning. Great location to walk to the Mall and museums during the day, but DC post-Covid , in general, is not safe to walk around at night unless your at Dupont Circle or Georgetown/M street - so advise not to walk around at night. CVS is about 1 block away. Fogo De chao is across the street.

Everything about the Waldorf in Washington DC screams 5 stars. First of all, the location is wonderful. Quick walk to the White House, the Washington Monument, and to the Smithsonian museums. During our stay, we never needed our car or an Uber. As far as the hotel goes, it’s a first class experience. The lobby is stunning. Everybody from the valet to the front desk staff to the room attendant goes above and beyond with their attention to service and detail. When I checked in, my family was upgraded to a premium guestroom. It was on the first floor, so there was no view, but that was not a big deal. The room was very quiet and tucked away. It was a nice size, high ceilings, beautiful furnishings, and a luxurious bathroom. Overall, I would definitely stay at this hotel again. I was able to use Hilton points, thankfully, otherwise I know it would have been quite pricey. Either way, it’s worth the experience!

I recently stayed at the Waldorf in Washington, D.C., for a business trip, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The hotel itself is stunning, and the staff truly goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service. One team member, in particular, stood out—Aleksandar R. Not only was he professional and welcoming during my stay, but he also greeted us by name more than 24 hours after check in. This level of attention to detail and genuine hospitality is rare and deserves to be recognized. Bravo to Aleksandar and the entire team at the Waldorf! I look forward to returning.

We had a great stay at the Waldorf. It was nice to walk to everything and enjoy the amenities. However, charging 9 dollars for a glass of iced tea/coke is just price gouging at its finest. It is sad to get to enjoy a nice hotel but be priced gouged just for the name on the building thinking that is acceptable pricing. Not to mention the 40 dollar old fashioned on the menu.
