Reviews for Waldorf Astoria Washington DC

First time to DC!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

This was our first trip to DC, and the Waldorf’s staff made the trip that much more enjoyable! Thank you to Aleks, Amber, and the wonderful housekeeping crew! We cannot wait to return to DC and the Waldorf. We came for Police Week and will be making this an annual trip, along with an annual stay at the Waldorf.

Great hospitality

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

The hotel is very beautiful! Very convenient to have a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a little issue in Peacock alley but Albert who is the manager took care of it right away. Maria who checked us in was very good and knowledgeable of the hotel. Special shout-out to Alex who remembered us from our previous stay months ago. It was very nice to be back. Thank you Waldorf Astoria team.

Staff Make it Great

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We had a free night certificate and Birthday to celebrate so we booked a Deluxe room at the Waldorf. We were upgraded before arrival to a superior room. Since we are local we arrived around 10am, dropped off our car with Valet and checked in expecting to drop our bags with bell service. Surprise they had a room ready for us. We were shown to our room on the 1st floor behind the main restaurant. We dropped our bags and went out for the day. I was not impressed with the location or view overlooking the back of the building. When we got back I stopped by the front desk and asked if they had a room we could move to in the main tower. Aleksandar said no problem, looked things up, acknowledged our Diamond status and noted it was my wife's birthday and promptly got us a room in the main atrium. After we collected our bag with bell services and were shown our room we were blown away. Aleksandar had put us in a suite. We were blown away. The room was awesome. I have read some reviews complaining about wear and tear. The room did show some minor wear and tear but it was what I would expect from any hotel. The important thing was the room was clean, the bed was fresh and we had all the things one would expect from a Luxury hotel, plenty of towels, nice bath products including bath salts for the tub. Ironing board to allow us to get our clothes nice before going out. Turn down service while we were out to dinner, etc.... The staff from the valet, to the doorman to the front desk staff were all awesome, exactly what I would expect of a hotel of this caliber. My wife has already said she wants to make this a yearly thing for her birthday. Kudos Waldorf Astoria DC, you guys did an awesome job!

Bad day turned around

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

I had a pleasure of staying at Waldorf Astoria for work and it was a stay to remember. I arrived after a very long day and i was tired and very grumpy but Alex turned my day around completly. He noticed i was frustrated and tired so he sent me some tea to the room with truffles. The next day, even though we havent talked for very long time, he remembered me by name, and with a simple question, "how are you doing today?" made me a future loyal member to the brand. It is true what they say, nice word goes long way and Alex did just that. Thank you for everything.

Beautiful property - Excellent service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This is such a beautiful property and I have stayed there several times. Rooms are well designed and the lobby is breathtaking. On my most recent stay I had another delicious dinner at The Bazaar by Jose Andres, which is onsite. The service is always great but the standout was Aleksandar Risojevic, the Front Desk Manager. I had met him briefly during a stay about 4 months ago and he recognized me and greeted me with genuine hospitality as if we were old friends. Throughout my stay he personally reached out to ensure my stay was great. Big thank you to Alex for such great service!
