Waldorf Astoria Washington DC is an outstanding hotel with a beautiful setting and an exceptionally attentive staff who truly worked to make our stay special. Edward and Clement on the concierge team went above and beyond for us. Danish and Kakar at the door were also terrific and consistently friendly, attentive, and helpful. The hotel itself is wonderful, but what really stood out was the level of personal service. The staff made us feel genuinely well cared for and turned a great stay into an amazing experience. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience, cannot recommend highly enough! From the minute we arrived, we were treated like VIPs. Took time to upgrade our room and did several things to celebrate our anniversary! Will definitely be back!

Chanee greeted us warmly as we approached the sleek, sunlit lobby bar. Moments prior, toward the end of an extended mid-day walk, my husband and I agreed a leisurely drink and water refresh would reset our energy. I spied the Waldorf, which has been on my bucket list for long weekend travel. We walked in with high expectations; we stay at the Chicago Waldorf annually for our anniversary celebration. The grandeur of the DC Waldorf’s lofty atrium lobby announced the building is in a class of it’s own. The busy D.C. sidewalks seemed mikes away. Chanee offered water while we reviewed the bar’s extensive menu as well as food menu. I quickly found a craft cocktail that would be hydrating but not too sweet. My husband selected a soft Pinot Grigio. Interspersed with friendly and welcomed conversation, Chanee and I broke down the herbal components of my cocktail, lavender and bergamot. For me, be it a libation or food, if the person serving the item can heighten my enjoyment by sharing details, I feel like family. Alek, a hotel manager greeeted us as he passed through the area. Chanee explained our annual Waldorf stay. Alek shared his reflections on why he finds D.C. so enjoyable and was kind enough to compliment our home town. So, yes. My long-hoped-for stay at the D.C. Waldorf in now “a lock” for 2027. The elegance of the building, the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff, i’m looking forward to my future stay. Adding: Chanee shared info on the building’s history including the dates of the bell tower. When she learned we were taking DC Metro back to our hotel, she walked us to the door that would lead us to the entranceway. Thank you!

After this level of service, it's hard to go elsewhere. From the cleaning staff to concierge, it feels like every person goes out of their way to assist you and help you feel welcome. Amazing staff, gorgeous building, and perfect location.
