Hotel was great and staff were so helpful. Location was perfect with easy access to several areas plus a running/walk route a min away by the Potomac. Pool was fabulous. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

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!

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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

6/10 Good

My husband and I came here for our anniversary. The hotel was very pretty and clean. We were disappointed in the service for it being a boutique hotel. The whisky bar was unexpectedly closed when it should have been open. We ordered room service for breakfast the night before and it arrived over an hour late, after I called twice in the morning to inquire. At one point my husband was ill and needed an ice pack and they did not have one. We asked for extra linens and were sent one rough pink blanket that looked like it came from a hospital. We did visit the pool and spa which was very nice, and our breakfast was delicious (once it arrived!) The room was nicely appointed and the bathroom and shower in particular was very nice and clean. Overall it was a nice stay, but for the price and for the hype it was a disappointment.

As always, the staff at the Watergate is warm and welcoming. The rooms are immaculate and the food is amazing.

2/10 Poor

I requested a refund a month ago because I did not meet the age requirements of staying at the hotel. I still am YET to get my refund. $656 that refuse to pay for which is tanking my credit.
