This was an absolutely beautiful hotel with staff who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The rooms are spacious, with nice big bathrooms containing a big shower and beautiful soaking tub. I did notice that despite the room being beautiful, there was scotch tape on the platform bed frames which I found very odd and out of place in such a nice hotel. Aside from that everything was top notch. At one point we realized my younger son left his retainer in the case inside the car. I thought the valet would direct us to the car but they actually went and retrieved the retainer case for us and delivered it to our room. The lobby bar was very nice, good strong drinks, however it was closed on our last full day due to a private event— so we were unable to grab a quick drink when we wanted. The only downfall of this hotel for me, is its lack of restaurants, bars, or nice cafes in the immediate area. Although it is walking distance to MANY must-visit places, museums, monuments, and National Mall… we did have to Uber or drive to every dinner out. This wasn’t a dealbreaker but when I booked I assumed there would be places to eat in the immediate area upon leaving the hotel. That being said, every hotel that is within the center of the city is much more expensive for much less space. I am very happy with our stay and I would highly recommend it to others who are looking for an amazing DC trip.

My wife and i were celebrating our honeymoon. Tired and exhauted due to lengthy drive we finally arrived. Nate the bell man greeted us with an immediate smile and warm welcome. He took our lugguage to our room. Austin at the front desk was extremely helpful and very acvomidating to our room. Very professional and yet personally a true star player to the hotel. The hotel is gery close to Nationa mall so easy and walkable. The room very well appointed to every detailed and extremely clean plenty of space. Lastly but not least Christian the FOB manager was incredible, he was personally and very kind, gave me great dinner options to the hotel and surrounding area. He also gave my wife and i a toasting to champaigne to ring in our marriage. Tobi the Director of FD very kind and personal we spoke and shared in stories as I was a former AGM to Hilton. KIond blesssing to such an incredible staff we will be back for sure!

I liked the location of the property, and the fact that it had a pool for my granddaughter. In fact, this combination was why I chose it, despite the price. The staff was all very pleasant. The food was good, but quite pricey.

Everyone was wonderful! I had my grand daughters with me and they ( Austin at the front desk) sent up matching bathrobes so we could be triplets. The food was delicious that we ordered from room service. I have no choice but to come back :)

Comfortable lobby lounge area. Accommodating staff . Location is terrific. Easy access to the new wharf area with wonderful restaurants. And across the street for Starbucks because the only downside is the expensive buffet breakfast which is quite ordinary.

The property was beautiful and in a great location to pretty much everything. Our room was exactly as pictured and had the most loveliest view of the cherry blossoms and the Wharf. The staff was amazing, they really went out their way to create a great experience for us, even the doormen/valet guys looked out for us. The only downside I would say is for a luxury hotel, I expected their toilet paper would be two-ply and soft, lol! Other than that, it was a pleasant experience and I look forward to visiting their other property in Virginia.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary and we were very disappointed. The room was clean, but dated. The bathroom was nice. However, the service was terrible. After staying at the Salamander in Middleburg, where the employees were so kind and helpful, staying here was a huge disappointment. We went to the front desk asking for ice and champagne glasses as we had a vintage bottle to enjoy for our anniversary. The front desk employee said she would send it up shortly. After over an hour, we called to inquire on the status and they said it was coming. After another 40 minutes, we gave up and called and said not to worry about it. It had been over two hours at that point, and instead of being apologetic or kind, the employee was rude and dismissive. For the amount of money it costs for a one night visit, the disregard for customer service is frustrating. The overnight valet parking charge is also ridiculously high. This wouldn’t have bothered me so much if the customer service was great. Maybe my expectations were too high after our fantastic weekend celebrating an anniversary at the Salamander in Middleburg 2 years ago, but this stay was a big let down.
