The Watergate Hotel

This was a last minute idea for our family and would highly recommend this location! We aren’t the typical clientele but they never made us feel out of place. Everyone was amazingly helpful and our kids felt like superstars from the time of check in to check out. The hotel is luxurious and as we know children are most concerned with the pool and this one didn’t disappoint! Our kids were in awe of the size and how amazing the spouts of water were. The history of the hotel was lost on our kids but we loved the richness of the historical value, the views, and the location. Everything we wanted to see was in a very reasonable walking distance especially with our youngest being seven with asthma. Everything single staff member was kind, helpful, and personable. They complimented our family on every encounter and made our kids feel like the fanciest people in the world. Highly recommend

Over and above service by all at the Watergate! Special shoutout to Yab for the checkout Earl Grey with milk,. I had an early check out and was disappointed at the lack of tea in the lobby. He went out his way to bring me a lovely selection at the valet stand! 5 star experience, beautiful suite with sweeping Potomac views and easy walking to everywhere I wanted to go. Happy traveler!

Clean and comfortable stay, very beautiful property. The staff was friendly and very helpful whenever needed

This past weekend, I had the privilege of staying at The Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. Steps away from Georgetown and a short walk to the essential DC monuments, this 5-star hotel combines modern luxury with cheeky nostalgia. Designed in 1961 by Italian architect Luigi Moretti, the intrepid design garnered significant criticism at the time. The hotel still boasts decor reminiscent of its mid-century conception, as well as clever shout-outs to the 1970’s scandal named after the complex. The service was impeccable. From the full-service spa to the housekeeping staff to the bartenders - everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and eager to please.

The location is great, the staff are fantastic, the room is clean. The problem: I never had hot water. At best, the water felt luke warm. I called every day of my stay to report the problem. They always wanted to send an engineer to check on it. But they wanted to send up the engineer in the morning when I am busy getting ready for my workday. On Monday (Day 1 of cold water awarness, I specifically said have the engineer come after 9am so that I can finish getting ready and leave for work on time. So the man comes up at 8:34 while I am brushing my teeth. He leaves. Day 2, tepid water after running all taps for 10 minutes. Day 3, last day- they want to send someone up at 6am to check why I am not getting hot water. I can only assume they thought I don't know how to turn the water tap to hot.
