Riggs Washington DC

The entire staff was courteous, helpful and made Guest service a priority. We were there for a wedding and the staff helped make the entire weekend a huge success. From check-in to the bartenders to the service staff, everyone returned a smile, took their time to answer a question and generally provided outstanding support at every turn. Thank you.

Great experience. Former bank building I could feel. It is a Michelin 1 key hotel. I stayed in Superior Double room which I got a room upgrade from Classic Double to. The beds are kinda small but enough for a family of three. Bank safe styled fridge, showerhead, furnitures and even slippers are all special. You will never regret. I hope I stayed longer. Many restaurants around the hotel and easy to reach the National Mall.

I stayed at the Riggs for two nights in August 2025. The rate was U$D299 per night although that included a room upgrade and breakfast. I stayed here two years ago with my children and it continues to impress. If you need to stay in Washington then, frankly, I can't understand why you wouldn't stay here. With rooms starting at just over $200 per night smack-dab in the heart of the nation's capital, there is plenty to like about the Riggs. Its most appealing feature may be the price but its location isn't far behind. The Riggs is a five-minute walk from the Mall and 10 minutes from the White House. Staff are unfailingly helpful (special mention to the door team who whisk away your car and ensure your bags effortlessly glide up to your room, all in no time and with a genuine smile). The rooms themselves are spacious and quiet, with comfy beds, fine linen, Debaser toiletries, and thoughtful touches including a well-stocked mini-bar (designed to look like a safe), robes, slippers and other benefits of a hotel costing much, much more. Breakfast is a la carte and served in the former banking hall with soaring Corinthian columns and a fine marble bar. By night the space serves as the excellent and fairly-priced dining room with a short yet thoughtful wine list. Silver Lyan, the cocktail bar desigend by mixology guru Ryan Chetiyawardana a.k.a. "Mr. Lyan". It's not a patch on the Edinburgh original but a lovely spot for a pre-dinner drink. And NYC's Dead Rabbit is shortly setting up camp two doors down. In summary, Riggs may not be the wishest hotel in Washington but it unquestionably offers exceptional value.

5 Star Property at a 3 star price. This is my new go to hotel when in DC. It’s close to everything. What a great experience. From the moment my car arrived I felt pampered. Garnett, the Bell Captain, made my whole experience. He welcomed me, checked my bags, reminded me to take a picture of my ticket, had my bags in my room when I checked in later that evening. It doesn’t matter what else happens while I’m there- the tone is set and I’m a fan! My room was nicely appointed (even had slippers set out for me). The bedding was luxurious and the bathroom though small was gorgeous with stone tile and great lighting. Amazing service. I still can’t believe it was so inexpensive. The management team is all about guest experience and it shows.

This restaurant was wonderful! Amazing and friendly staff who seated us immediately. I asked for de-cafe iced and the waiter suggested a de-cafe latte which was great. Food was delightful, we chose breakfast items for brunch. Turkey bacon was ok, not as crispy as I thought it would be but pancakes were delicious with plenty of butter and syrup. The waiter was easy going and checked on us just the right amount of times. Would definitely return here!
