Waldorf Astoria Washington DC

From the minute we arrived at the Waldorf, I knew we were in for a really special stay. I’ve stayed in many luxury hotels, including other Waldorf properties, and none of them have come close to meeting the level of service and ambiance of this hotel. Often in historic properties, you get a sense of things being tired and a bit run down. This property sparkled from top to bottom. It maintains its historic charm and elegance while being absolutely spotless and fresh. The room, we had a Premium king bed, on the third floor. I was worried about noise, with the open atrium, but I never heard a single sound from the hotel. The bed was like an actual cloud, with a feather bed topper, and delightful duvet, I did not want to leave it. The attention to detail was so evident in the high quality of the linens, and bath products (along with everything else). Every member of staff we encountered was warm and pleasant, making the stay even that much more enjoyable. I have to say that the management of the London Waldorf should come stay here for a few days to see how it is done. I’ve never been still in bed at a hotel and looking for dates for a future stay. I loved it here, and absolutely cannot wait to come back. Quite literally perfect hotel stay, 10/10.

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. A special mention goes to Alex at the front desk, who made check-in seamless and welcoming — his positive attitude and attention to detail immediately set the tone for a perfect stay. The hotel itself is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms that are spacious, comfortable, and impeccably maintained. Every detail feels luxurious. Another highlight was the bar experience. Marco, the bartender, crafted one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had. His skill, personality, and hospitality made the evening even more enjoyable. Service throughout the hotel was top-tier — attentive, friendly, and consistently polished. The location is ideal, steps away from major landmarks, and the dining options are excellent.

What another amazing stay at Waldorf Astoria! The moment we walked in, Aleks ran into us and remembered our names from our last stay. Just WOW! I have never met anyone with a memory like his, meets hundreds of guest on a daily basis and still remembers us. We were simply blown away. Thank you Aleks for making us feel like a VIP

I had a perfectly posh stay at the DC Waldorf. I grew up in DC when the building was known as the Old Post Office Pavilion. Back then it was faltering as a shopping mall with a ho-hum food court in the atrium, and there was talk about demolishing it. So it was a thrill to its stunning architecture saved as a luxury hotel. In coming here to post a review, I'm surprised it now ranks as only "#28 of 156 hotels in Washington DC." Because when it was a Trump hotel, it consistently ranked as "#1" ... which makes me wonder if fake reviews were pushing it to the top. But whatever the hotel's true ranking, I'm glad I stayed there.

Our company has been hosting business events at top DC hotels for years, and the level of service provided by Monica from the Banquet Department, together with her manager Cristina (Assistant Director of Events), was truly exceptional. Monica went above and beyond on every detail, always responding to our additional requests with a warm smile, quick action, and genuine care. Cristina’s leadership and support were evident throughout, and the two of them made our event run seamlessly from start to finish. Their professionalism set a new standard of hospitality for us and made this one of our best experiences in Washington, DC.
