About the Hotel

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
Nice rooms, good value and friendly service
This is a good hotel. Our superior room was spacious and comfortable. The service was very friendly. The location is good for the Kennedy Center and walking distance to Georgetown but is not ideal for walking to most tourist sites in D.C. It was disappointing that there is no food service whatsoever after 10:30pm, not even room service or snacks at the bar

Accommodating staff
Was traveling in to meet a few clients for work. The staff went above and beyond to help me find where I needed to go, while making sure to take care of my clients comfort and tight departure timeline. I have stayed here many times over the years and I am always impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms. I can't wait to be back for something more fun.

At long last, we got to experience the Watergate.
Luxury and excellent service, on top of the premier location and unrivaled history. The cornerstone of our visit to the capital.

Wonderful Staff
The staff was the best part of the stay. They were great. The rooms were nice and pretty spacious. My only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5, is the high price and the fact that the walls seemed to be paper thin. I heard everything my neighbors did. Every. Thing. And they weren’t loud people. I gratefully travel with a noise machine, but between my neighbors, the construction, and the planned fire alarm, I was exhausted. I know construction and fire alarms aren’t your fault. I’m just saying there were multiple reasons the thin walls were an issue.

Excellent service! Beautiful restaurant!
Jacintan was so accommodating and to be honest we were being difficult. We are here to celebrate our son’s graduation at AU.
