We had a great time at the hotel. the room was a good size, the hotel was quiet and the pool was a lot of fun. Easy to get around, about 15 minutes walk to Georgetown for shopping and restaurants. We has our daughter with us so we got taxis to the museums but I would guess it would have been about a 1 hour walk. Great place!

The staff was outstanding. From the moment you pull up till he moment you leave they are there to help and serve. The history of the hotel is highlighted with a free tour that will bring you back to the 1970's. It is in walking distance to historic George town with options for food and nightlife. It is also a short iber ride to all of the historic sights. My average Uber cost was about $12.00. The pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi were clean and very well maintained. I definitely will be staying here again on my next trip to Washington.

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.

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.

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

The rooftop bar that is highly promoted wasn’t open nor could you go out on the deck at all to see the view. Even though there are outdoor heaters that could be used for cooler weather, just be aware, this amenity is not open until mid to late April. A disappointing advertised sunset spot.

Really lovely place. Our room was fantastic. The hotel entrance was a little hard to find, at first. Which really surprised me. Our taxi dropped us off in the wrong place and we walked on the street side up and down trying to find the hotel entrance. It would have helped to be told to enter at the awning and continue all the way to the back. Lovely entrance, once you find it. The only negative was trying to call the hotel when we were out of the hotel and kept getting an automated system. It was hard to reach a human to ask for our room to get serviced.
