Riggs Washington DC

Our flight got canceled, and we needed a place to stay for the night. I discovered Riggs through my Chase Sapphire account, and its excellent reviews encouraged me to take a chance on it. It turned out to be a great choice; Riggs is a converted bank building, and the decor reflects its unique history. The hotel is really well appointed. The positive experience began with the valet service and continued through to the front desk staff, who made us feel welcomed and appreciated as guests. The themed decor caught my attention right off the elevators; each door number plate is designed to resemble a safety deposit box door— a clever design touch. I also noticed the do-not-disturb door hangers, which are not your typical placards. Instead, they feature a cord tied with a monkey fist knot, adding another standout detail before we even reached our room. When we entered the room, I was pleasantly surprised. Have you ever looked at hotel photos and found that your room didn’t match what you saw online? That was not the case at Riggs. I believe my room might even be the one used in their promotional photos—wow! The headboard beautifully blended with the wall decor. Staying true to the building's history, they also included a chest safe in the room that housed the mini bar, in-room safe, and mini fridge. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, making me realize that I really need new mattresses at home. Hey Riggs, who supplies yours? It contributed to a wonderfully restful night’s sleep. In the morning, we had breakfast at Café Riggs, which was also fantastic. Overall, our stay far exceeded our expectations; after all, we were only looking for a place to spend the night. We also discovered that this hotel is conveniently located just a ten-minute drive from DCA airport, which is a plus since we often fly from there. The highest compliment I can give any business is whether I would recommend it to family or friends. With Riggs, the answer is an easy YES. Not only do we plan to return to Riggs in the future, but we also learned that their parent company has locations in NYC. Because of our positive experience at Riggs, we will definitely check out their New York location when we visit the city. To the Riggs management, job well done! Thank you for a great stay.

The location of the Riggs can't be beat! Central to a Metro, near lots of great restaurants, and walkable to Smithsonian museums. We had breakfast each morning at the hotel and it was delicious. Lunch was also very nice. Enjoyed the hotel gym that has 2 Peloton bikes (Bike and Bike+) as part of their cardio equipment. Garnett was a spectacular bell captain - always a smile, helpful, and made us feel very welcome.

Took my husband to DC for his 61st birthday. He had only been here on official business during his time in the USAF. Wanted a nice hotel for him. This was recommended by a friend. Room was awesome and spacious, shower was amazing, service was great. No noise heard. SHould not have bothered with a city view, though

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Riggs Washington DC. The hotel was gorgeous - a very careful renovation of the Riggs bank that serviced a number of presidents and elected officials. Our room (an Astor Suite I think was the name) was spacious and comfortable. The Cafe Riggs had a great, complete selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And a wonderful wine selection. Perhaps the best part of all is the location / just a couple of blocks from the Mall where many of the Smithsonian’s museums and National monuments are.

I spent a week enjoying this beautiful boutique hotel. Every single interaction with staff was superb! From the staff checking you in to the door attendant when you leave the property —everyone is top-notch. Our package included breakfast, and it was so good! Greicy was an impressive server and offered excellent care to our group each day. The others working in the Cafe were equally kind and jovial, and I appreciated how quick they were to accommodate when reservation numbers changed! The location is perfect, allowing you to walk to many favorites in the area or be just a quick block from many Metro lines. I would highly recommend this hotel, and I hope to be back soon! Thank you for a great stay!
