About the Hotel
Step foot in our luxury hotel in Washington D.C. and discover an urban resort located along the banks of the Potomac River. Here, you’ll uncover a hotel unlike anything in Washington D.C. — a place where modern design blends with an iconic landmark to redefine luxury. The Watergate Hotel's flowing avant-garde architecture was designed by Luigi Moretti to emulate the mighty Potomac, and its stunning new Ron Arad-designed interior lives up to the building's original elegance. Complementing the hotel's new, modern feel are the retro-chic staff uniforms, made by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant. The Watergate Hotel takes classic elegance and bold mid-century modern design and adds all of the extravagance and warmth of contemporary luxury. This one-of-a-kind hotel pays tribute to its own storied past, while paving the way for a new chapter to be written.

Reviews for The Watergate Hotel
The Best Hotel to Stay in Washington DC
Extremely comfortable rooms, courteous staff, customer satisfaction oriented and great guest relations. Special thanks to Zach

Just okay!
Rooms are dated and mine showed signs of aging and not clean. The furniture looks like 1970’s but not that great. No sheets on windows…no good!

Best time ever with the best room ever and best staff ever
We had the pleasure of staying at the Watergate at the presidential suite could not be more elated by how they treated my wife and our guests. Everything from creating a special table for us to eat at on the rooftop to dinner at their amazing restaurant. Everything was specialized every staff member went out of their way to accommodate us. Everything was the top quality you could possibly want from a hotel.

Classic and Charming
Had an awesome time staying at the prestigious Watergate Hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and always polite. First time ever staying there and would definitely be coming back. My family had a great visit in the D.C. area, seeing all the sights and the hotel was the icing on the cake.

Outstanding Watergate Scandal Tour
This morning Watergate's concierge, Mesfin, led me and my students on an amazing "Watergate Scandal" tour. Mesfin brought history to life as he narrated the story of the Watergate burglary and subsequent events. His detailed, informative account helped the students to understand and visualize the major events and key players that took place on site at the Watergate complex. Mesfin didn't just show us the artifacts, he relayed insider stories that kept us totally engaged. My students and I are very grateful that we had the opportunity to learn a critical part of our American story from Mesfin.
