Reviews for Waldorf Astoria Washington DC

An excellent start to our vacation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 19 hours ago

The Waldorf Astoria Washington DC was the perfect way to start our vacation, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely outstanding. Every interaction we had—from the bellmen to the front desk staff to the team at the bar—was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. It’s rare to find a hotel where every employee consistently delivers such a high level of hospitality, but that was certainly the case here. We spent our first evening enjoying drinks and appetizers at the bar, and it was fantastic. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, the food and cocktails were excellent, and the service was top-notch. It was the perfect place to unwind and begin our trip. Check-in was seamless, the bellmen were attentive and helpful with our luggage, and the entire staff made us feel like valued guests throughout our stay. The hotel itself is stunning, blending historic grandeur with modern luxury, but what truly sets this property apart is the people who work there. The Waldorf Astoria Washington DC delivered exactly the kind of experience you hope for when staying at a luxury hotel. It provided a memorable start to our journey, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and a truly first-class experience in Washington, DC

Expensive but very good

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Stayed here for one night. The room is extremely well-lit and impressive with the high ceilings and windows. It was very clean. Wifi was fast and reliable. The location is convenient for the attractions on the National Mall, as museums are just one street away. There was only a low hum of traffic from the street outside (not bothersome); there was no noise from other rooms. The gym is large with a variety of machines and plenty of bottled water, as well as some fruit. The breakfast at the restaurant (Peacock Alley) is good but quite expensive even for the quality. Overall, the stay was excellent but worth checking if there are other comparable options at a potentially much lower price point.

Excellence par no other

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I left the JW Marriott in Washington to move to the Waldorf Astoria because their attention to detail was just so much better although I the Marriott. Their staff was not able to answer questions and give me the service I needed at the Waldorf Astoria we were welcomed at thedoor by Brian who said welcome home and I knew at that moment I would never stay any place else again when I am in DC I of course had a lovely dinner and a lovely lunch at the Peacock restaurant and did some shopping with mahi at the gift shop and it was the most delightful experience not only did she help me find gift for my husband, but she was so delightful more than delightful. She is now a newfound friend forever so if you’re reading this long review your wise and you spend your money wisely because you love good service and excellence if that’s the case I recommend highly that you stay at Waldorf Astoria.

Not a 5 star experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This is not a five star experience. You would think for this kind of money, they would have a sauna and a steam room that you could use after using the fitness center. There’s a steam room in the spa, but they use this as a money grab you have to pay $120 for a day pass to get access. Frankly, that’s unacceptable for a five stars establishment. Fitness enthusiasts, if you value the use of a sauna or a steam room after your workout, go elsewhere.
