Willard InterContinental Hotel, Washington
More photosExpert reviews
“This grandiose, opulent Beaux-Arts Hotel, the crown jewel on DC’s most famous street (and just a block from the White House), has sat in the middle of the city’s political and social scene since 1818.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Washington.
“From its very start, the Willard has hosted foreign dignitaries, from Japan’s 70 Samurai princes in 1860 to… well, take a look at what head of state is on the schedule to visit President Obama, and there’s a good chance that dignitary is booked at the Willard.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Washington.
“Ideally positioned just blocks from the White House, the iconic Willard InterContinental hotel has been a center of the Washington, D.C. social and political scene since it opened in 1818.”
“Since opening as a hotel in 1818, this Washington DC institution has become a stately must-stop for history buffs visiting the US capital. But come also for the even-keeled friendliness, deliciously strong drinks, hearty food and cosy guest chambers.”

Amazing stay, great staff, outstanding hotel
I wish we had more places in the lobby or other areas where we could hang out with our family, like a library or different rooms.
I have no complaints. One minor thing. When they fill up the bar, they didn't replace the green teas, they replaced them all for black tea,

Outstanding professionals work here. Impeccably maintained and managed. You want for nothing here. It’s like coming home only better.
At first we were escorted to a room on the 11 th floor next to and behind the elevator. We requested a change and it was seemless

Good stay but plain.
The room is better than most DC rooms, bigger plus marble tile bathroom is a plus.
The breakfast area looks too canteen like. The staff seem to care less except the door men. There were no welcoming touches or any kind of finesse. I thought you would be similar if not better than the Jefferson Hotel in DC, but it’s not. Bigger yes, but lacks ambiance of sophistication. But, your location is great for tourists.

Liaison Capitol Hill Hotel, Washington
New York Times + 1 more“A less expensive and slightly less elegant but equally convenient option is the Liaison Capitol Hill, an Affinia Hotel, with 343 rooms and a seasonal rooftop deck and pool, an unusual feature for hotels at this price. Locals still flock to the four-year-old Art and Soul, run by Art Smith, best known as Oprah’s chef.”

Hotel The Graham Georgetown, Washington
New York Times + 1 more“The Graham embodies the duality of Georgetown, a neighborhood that is both a raucous night-life haunt and home to genteel Washington society. Tranquil, modern rooms paired with a vibrant rooftop offer hotel guests equal parts serenity and excitement, not to mention a tucked-away spot from which to start exploring the city.”
The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington
New York Times + 3 more“This chic 86-room hotel is the chain’s smallest and feels more like an elite Alpine nook than a hub of ever-bustling Georgetown.”

The Watergate Hotel, Washington
New York Times + 2 more“The history is fascinating, the location is desirable and the attractive surroundings are a draw. Service, too, is on the ball. And so, the legend of the Watergate has a new chapter.”
