I loved staying at the Watergate. Every staff member was immediately friendly, welcoming, and asked if there was anything they could help with or do for us. We got so many helpful suggestions from the staff to help make our trip easier while moving around DC for a few days. The hotel is clean and beautiful. The restaurant is very pretty, the food is amazing, and the staff remembers your name, even if you are only there for a few days. This is the best hotel I have stayed in around the DC area, probably the best anywhere and I'll be a return customer in the future.

Every part of the hotel and every member of their hospitality team ( they’re not just “staff” here ) is noticeably held to very high standards. Great amenities in the room, visit the pool which has a whirlpool & coed sauna and men’s and women’s steam rooms in the locker rooms. The Four Seasons without the pretentiousness and at a great rate. We will definitely return

We had an incredible experience and completely enjoyed our stay. The staff were amazing and the accommodations were fantastic. My only call out would be the lack of TV technology. No access to streaming services and or phone mirroring was noted. However, the food at the restaurant, the entire staff were so kind, warm and helpful. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else but The Watergate.
