We had a wonderful stay, and a huge part of that was thanks to Erinn at the front desk. From the moment we checked in, he made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Erinn went above and beyond to make our stay special, friendly, professional, and full of thoughtful touches that made all the difference. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located, but it was Erinn’s outstanding service that truly set this experience apart. We’ll definitely be back thank you, Erinn!

I just met the best, most friendly barman in the world. Preston ... He was fabulous. Great service, sense of humor... We even got a geography lesson on downtown Washington whilst looking at the amazing view. Drinks were excellent . My advice is if you are in DC .. head for the hotel roof top... Hang out with Preston.

This hotel is in a great location with modern rooms, although some are a bit tired around the edges. Staff were efficient and helpful at check in. It is as pictured on the website. The breakfast was good, as was room service. The locations is lovely as you can walk to many restaurants, shops and bars. It has great views over the water.

This year I decided to celebrate the 4th of July in Washington, DC. Little did I know how fortunate I would be finding availability at the Intercontinental. It was so special waking up with views of the Potomac River. Shops and restaurants line the lively Wharf district with many museums within walking distance. This made my stay easy and convenient. I especially enjoyed dining at the hotel's restaurant, Willowsong. The staff including Fernando, Selburn, Jackie, and Kitana were so friendly. In addition to enjoying their company and recommendations, all my meals were savory and delicious. I'll never forget the cresto di gallo, an oxtail pasta that will leave you wishing there was more.
