Our Inspector's Highlights

The best place to be in good weather is no doubt the hotel’s guest-only infinity-edge pool and WAVES bar with sweeping Potomac vistas. The 12th-floor deck is a guest favorite for sunset cocktails and post-concert gatherings.
At Willowsong, chef Jeffrey Williams focuses on local ingredients to create seasonal, contemporary American dishes, like squid ink orecchiette with jumbo lump crab and a dry-aged striploin with cipollini soubise.
Did we mention the views? Watch planes taking off and landing at DCA from floor-to-ceiling glass windows along the Potomac, all from bed. Or get closer to the water at open-air bar The Watering Hole, which sits across from the D.C. hotel overlooking the marina.
The location is one of D.C.’s best for a concert or night on the town — guests are steps from buzzy venue The Anthem and waterfront activities at The Wharf.
In a town known for historic grande dame hotels, this sleekly modern property feels significantly more contemporary, all while retaining D.C. charm, such as monument views.

The Rooms

The 278 guest rooms and suites boast clean-lined, maritime-inspired interiors with pops of calming deep blues and gray.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in most rooms ensure ample natural light, and river views are present from many, offering a calming experience in the heart of the city.
While some entry-level rooms in the luxury hotel overlook interior spaces, many upgraded categories boast wide-angle water vistas — and the views are worth the splurge.
Spa-style marble bathrooms boast luxe rainfall showers, while top suites offer deep egg-shaped soaking tubs perfect for a spa-like retreat.
