Riggs Washington DC

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!

Riggs, count your days till I return… and bring friends and family! Vincent was the first smiling face to greet me, warmly wishing my room was ready. I think he saw my coast-to-coast travel exhaustion and sent all the good vibes. Eleanna worked her magic to find me a room before check-in and upgraded me, thanks to my platinum privileges. This one accommodation elevated the tone for my entire time in DC. Walking into Riggs is like stepping into a beautiful time capsule, those grand columns and the elegant ambiance instantly sets an upscale mood. My room was inviting and luxurious, shower was a treat, and the king bed was so comfy. At the bar, the service was phenomenal, constant water refills, a perfectly crafted mocha latte, and fresh, juicy mussels drenched in the most delectable sauce. Hands down the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had. On another occasion I enjoyed the goat cheese tart and the crab cake. The tart was wonderfully creamy and flaky, with a perfect tangy bite, while the crab cake was crispy on the outside and full of fresh, flavorful crab. A simple yet memorable part of my dining experience! Breakfast was a graceful, attentive affair. The chef delivered blueberry pancakes with a side of fresh fruit and a blended drink that made such an impression I had to have the same breakfast twice. I highly recommend the Riggs Café just to experience this delightful menu again. Plus, the restaurant is a visual fantasy from every angle. Eraste, my server, was my last lasting impression, but honestly, every staff member was helpful, positive, and attentive. The only finger I lifted all weekend was to press the elevator button. My stay felt like one big invitation to relax, eat well, and be content. I can’t wait to come back.

We just spend a week of family vacation biking around Washington DC, the Riggs has an excellent location but an even better service! We arrived early by train from NYC, so it started with a very friendly check in where they gave us our room so early without even asking for it, because it was available and convenient for us. I wasn’t planning for it and it really helped us took a better advantage of our first day. And the bell team lead by Mr DC (a.k.a. Garnett Coad) really made sure that our twins felt at home and helped us with our bikes the whole week. Thank you guys!!

Best hotel and restaurant ever. I was so surprised about restaurant. I had dinner and breakfast, both meal was wonderful. I ordered pancakes for breakfast, I could see they even make syrup there cuz it was so special. Even my husband said food was so great. Staffs were so kind and nice, I will definitely visit again

We had a wonderful experience with our previous stay in December 2024, we decided to stay here again when we were visiting DC for one night recently (August 2025). Wow, we absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Pre-arrival communication We received communication from the hotel prior to the arrival. We provided some information about our stay. We had inquiries about potential early arrival (only 1-2 hours before check-in time), request for late check-out, questions about the credit we had (we booked through Capital One Premier Collection), etc. Ms Carolina Barahal was fantastic in her communication with us to ensure we had a great return stay. Check-in The front desk service was fantastic. Riggs offers welcome drinks while check-in. Provided detail about our stay regarding the credits we received with our booking. Room Fantastic room! Gallery suite is amazing. The pictures I posted didn't do justice to the beauty of the room. It is a corner room and we have view of the National Portrait Gallery and we can also see the Capital One arena from our room. Location I have provided detail regarding the location on my previous review. The location is absolutely great. Cafe Riggs We used our credit for dinner and also were able to enjoy breakfast here. The meals were fantastic. Service was great too. Overall - we absolutely enjoyed our stay. Room, service, and location were all fantastic. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
