About the Hotel

Step foot in our luxury hotel in Washington D.C. and discover an urban resort located along the banks of the Potomac River. Here, you’ll uncover a hotel unlike anything in Washington D.C. — a place where modern design blends with an iconic landmark to redefine luxury. The Watergate Hotel's flowing avant-garde architecture was designed by Luigi Moretti to emulate the mighty Potomac, and its stunning new Ron Arad-designed interior lives up to the building's original elegance. Complementing the hotel's new, modern feel are the retro-chic staff uniforms, made by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant. The Watergate Hotel takes classic elegance and bold mid-century modern design and adds all of the extravagance and warmth of contemporary luxury. This one-of-a-kind hotel pays tribute to its own storied past, while paving the way for a new chapter to be written.

Reviews for The Watergate Hotel

Friendly staff and consistently a great place to stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 10 hours ago

We stayed here while visiting my sister in DC. This is probably our seven or eighth time staying and it’s consistently great. This time they even allowed my nine-year-old to play on the grand piano! He was so happy.

Disappointed

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We chose to spend 4 nights at the Watergate due to its location and images online. Room furniture was in shambles, housekeeping rarely came and if they did it was due to having to request. Had to go request washcloths at front desk nightly. Nightly charges are not worth what you get.

The air did not work and it was very stuffy. We requested maintenance a total of 5 times in one day and the engineer never showed up. At 11 pm, we cancelled the service call and requested credit due to our inconvenience. The receptionist agreed but there was no mention of it on our bill when we checked out. We are still waiting on the credit. The phones and electronic keys did not work due to an outage. The stay was comfortable but rooms seem a bit outdated. The staff was kind and the front area was pristine.

The hotel has great views excellent valet. For the price point they need upgrades overall and friendlier staff

Great location. Upgrades are needed. Warm showers. The whisky bar did not prepare the drink properly. Sounds trivial but at $25 a drink who wants a glass full of ice? The experience was disappointing at this price point the quality should be better.

The best place to stay in Washington DC

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

The Watergate hotel is simply wonderful for many reasons. First, it is of major historical significance. In fact, you can get a fascinating and informative tour of the "Scandal Room" Room 214 when it is not being occupied by guests. Secondly, the rooms are gorgeous with nice views. Third, the staff is extremely helpful and patient. In addition, the National Mall is a short walk from the property. And one can stroll along the Potomac as the hotel is right there. The Watergate Hotel is the best place to stay in Washington
