Riggs Washington DC

I loved this hotel! The character and charm of the hotel was lovely! The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. Ian is amazingly kind!

The Riggs is a beautiful, classy boutique hotel with a viby lobby bar and restaurant that was open with full menu late on a Sunday. The location can’t be beat if you’re in town for an event, especially anything at Capital One Arena. The area is walkable and full of great restaurants and shops. The guest rooms are well appointed, the bed was extremely comfortable and everything was incredibly clean. The staff were friendly and kind. We stayed with 8 other couples in town for Matt Rife and everyone enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be returning. No reason to try other hotels when you find one you love. We booked directly through the hotel for the best rate!

I really enjoyed my time at the Riggs Hotel. The hotel itself is really pretty. It used to be a bank (as I am told), and they kept some of the bank structures and added a few nods to its past as a bank. The décor is interesting, and the furniture is both beautiful and comfortable. The rooms were spacious and very nice-looking. Each room has 2 complimentary bottles of water (in glass!), which is unfortunately unique in hotels now. Also, they have a cute tote bag and slippers waiting for guests in the rooms. The staff members are wonderful and super helpful! I had an issue because I forgot my toothbrush. Although they were out at the front desk, someone brought 2 of them up to my room. The concierge was also kind and knowledgeable. He worked hard to make people feel special and taken care as did all of the other staff. Although I didn't leave the hotel due to our symposium, I think it is in a great place for sightseeing. Apparently, there is a good restaurant across the street – the Smith – that folks enjoyed. I (with colleagues) had some food in the hotel’s restaurant, Café Riggs. The service was great! Someone else paid for my food and beverages (yay!), so I didn’t get the server’s name, but he was wonderful and patient as we said, No more drinks or fries…okay! 1 more round! I also had the kale salad with salmon. The salad itself was delicious, but the salmon was not seasoned. Had it been seasoned, it would have been great because of how well cooked it was. Overall, when I am in DC, I will definitely stay here. In fact, I recommended the Riggs to 3 people before I even checked out!

Amazing!!! We had such wonderful time and everyone was super nice!!!! Garrent Coad and his crew were just the sweetest most helpful group guys. We are looking forward to returning in our next girls trip!!!

At the time we booked the Riggs Washington DC, it was more of a convenience to the arena, but the experience ended up being exceptional and such a fun weekend for our family. The restaurants were very accommodating to me, my spouse, and our twin 4 year-olds, and ensured we had a comfortable stay. Rooms were very clean, well stocked and there was clear attention to detail. Logistically, parking was easy and the walk to the arena was a breeze. It's also centrally located downtown, so it's very easy to access metro or walk to DC destinations.
