Reviews for The Watergate Hotel
Very attentive staff!
We loved staying at the historic hotel, yet beautifully remodeled suite. The staff was super attentive to any request we had. Room service and the Kingbird were both exquisite. Pool temperature was perfect. Rooftop bar had amazing views and tasty flatbreads. Accessibility to sites was great for us as we enjoy walking, and the occasional scooter ride.

One of the very best
Can't fault anything about the Watergate. Excellent service from the moment we arrived and throughout our stay. Stunning room and views (river view room), Superb quality room with no faults I came across. Beautiful spacious bathroom. The small touches matter and they've thought of everything. Close to most sights and to shops.Very rare that I'm sad to leave a hotel but this time I wish I had longer to enjoy! Simply wonderful.

Staff makes all of the difference
Great location near metro, Georgetown, C&O Canal trail. Renovations have been great at restoring the property. But the staff are the highlight. Marissa and Edgar in the restaurant, Martin and Alicia at top of the gate, Jessica at the front desk and Sammy? (Bellman) went out of their way to make our stay outstanding! Oh, and the view from the rooftop bar is unbelievable.

Living the Height of Luxury in DC!
My stay was nothing short of extraordinary! The staff genuinely cared about each guest, and made me feel like royalty while I was staying at The Watergate Hotel. The on-site amenities are beautifully maintained, and the dining and bars are fabulous as well as delicious.

Spectacular hotel, that everyone should experience.
My mother and I checked in on September 25 for her 81st bday. From the moment we pulled up until the time we checked out, everything was five stars. The people at the front desk, the attendants, the concierge, the restaurant staff, the engineers—every single person I encountered—were five stars. The room was spectacular. The hotel was extremely clean and welcoming.I wish I could include more information here, but I only have a certain number of characters I can type. I will definitely be back. I had one of the best vanilla lattes I’ve ever had, and I’m a connoisseur of lattes. I only named a few, but please know every single person I was in contact with should be highlighted. Anteneh, Miguel,Aziz, Mesfin AD and MK. Please know I’m missing names.
