Reviews for Willard InterContinental Washington
Amazing - save your time researching and just book here!
Location is perfection. Close to lots of resturants and less than 10 min walk to National Mall. Also has a free shuttle. Wonderful area with resturants, stores, and a great atmosphere. Room is immaculate (and I'm a stickler for cleanliness). Beds are super comfortable and there is a long desk in room, plenty of space to set your things. The staff are exceptional, so kind and genuinely make you feel they are happy you are here. Views are spectacular as well. The resturant on site was delicious. And a small but noteworthy extra, there is infused fruit water every afternoon in lobby. Such a lovely touch when returning from a long day of walking. If we return to DC, we will absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful staycation
Had a wonderful short stay at the Willard over a long weekend. Staff were all very nice and hospitable (shout out to Deepak!). In particular very welcoming to my 3 year old son and had kids activities available at the concierge. Location was very convenient and close to lots of activities like the museums. Rooms were nice and updated and clean. Would definitely recommend!

Historic with all the modern amenities of a 5-star hotel
We had a brief but great stay at the Willard. Very centrally located to all of DC’s attractions (eg White House, National Mall). The hotel has been part of American history yet nicely modernized to today’s amenities of a 5-star hotel.

Memorable Afternoon Tea
We’re local to the area and went to the Willard for afternoon tea at the Tea Room for our anniversary. You can leave your car with the valet and the Tea Room and the restaurant will both validate the parking. Right now, the area around the Willard is full of construction vehicles doing East Wing destruction, so plan an extra 5-10 minutes to navigate the area. We walked right into the Tea Room and were immediately seated. Deepak acknowledged that we were there for our anniversary, offered us Champagne to start and helped us navigate the tea menu. I’m not much of a tea-drinker, but he helped me navigate the different styles and explained the flavor differences in a helpful way. My wife appreciated his knowledge and his suggestion (Cherry Almond), which ended up being one of her favorites for an afternoon tea. Service was impeccable, as you would expect from a place like the Willard. Hot water arrived before we knew it would be needed and we didn’t feel crowded by other tables. The noise level was quiet enough to not disrupt our conversation. Deepak also explained some of the history of the hotel, along with the White House China service used in the tea room. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’re thankful to Deepak for making it a memorable anniversary experience. Locals and visitors alike can appreciate the history of the hotel, and while afternoon tea isn’t cheap ($90/person), it’s great for a special occasion and a good alternative to dropping 2-3x the price for a fancy dinner in DC.
