The Watergate Hotel Washington Reviews
Great visit
So I booked based off of reviews , social media, and marketing promotions. I was so on the fence when booking but overall decided to. Book based on the spa. Upon arrival I was a little underwhelmed but Jacintah out front desk concierge turned the who
Birthday getaway
Jacintah was very friendly and helpful I wish all guest service attendants were as hospitable as her . She was very informative and helped make our trip an amazing experience. I would highly recommend!
Beware of surprise 'resort fee'
I checked out last night (19 Nov 2025) after staying one night at the Watergate Hotel. The good: - Excellent location right by the Kennedy Center - Friendly and helpful staff. I couldn't get a late check out but fair enough; hotel was fully boo
Great customer service
Jacintah upfront at check in was incredible to work with amazing recommendations. The experience was great and she helped me find some cool places in the area. Great Customer service
Historic Hotel.
A delightful and historic hotel. The staff were friendly and very pleasant. Our room was well appointed and had a view over the Potomac River. The Last Whisky Bar is also worth visiting for stylish cocktails.
Overpriced and Underwhelming for Marathon Weekend We
Overpriced and Underwhelming for Marathon Weekend We booked this hotel because it came recommended for the Marine Corps Marathon, but overall, it did not live up to expectations -- especially for the price. The rooms are extremely tight, reminiscen

Mediocre Luxury Hotel with an overly annoyed night manager.
Visited here for the weekend a couple weeks ago. Overall average experience. The loation is great but much like the rest of the United States it suffers from a serious issue of degradation. There was mold in the room, the curtains were barely hanging
Fantastic stay!
I stayed for a conference and arrived early morning, had jet lagged, didn’t expect the room to be ready by that time and was willing to wait. The female receptionist was very kind and found a room that was available. (Didn’t get the name, but you
Great service and comfortable stay
From the time we checked in to the time we left everyone was friendly and helpful. DaRon checked us in day one and went above and beyond when welcoming us to the hotel and DC. Sammy was always helpful with the door for my wife and I and everyone ha
Be prepared for problems if you find issues at this hotel
We arrived at this hotel as part of a holiday travelling round the US. Al laws well on arrival and our room seemed ideal apart from some of the ceiling lights didn’t work. When we got in bed we realised that there was a crackling noise coming from
Not a welcoming place
Hotel Location is excellent for all the tourist sights all were within a 30 min walk Atmosphere Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly and extremely helpful Young Bellboy who was one of only 2 people who proved to be helpful, the other being t
Fee of $75 to view scandal suite !
The Watergate Hotel is worthy of its 5 stars , lovely rooms, great rooftop bar and the staff were very polite and friendly . This is definitely a 5 star hotel with 5 star prices , drinks and food pricey but honestly that’s expected in a 5 star hot
Always a good experience when visiting The Watergate Hotel.
My first experience, almost 10 years ago, was similar to my most recent. There has been a big budget reservation put into the building and aesthetically, it was worth it. The decor, lobby, hallways, artwork, and setting are all upscale. The low light
Yab & Ray
I was absolutely blow away with our experience here. I have to give a huge thank you to Ray at the front desk and Yab, one of the bell hops. This was our last night in DC and we spontaneously chose Watergate and happened to choose the Scandal Room. W
Well appointed with a few inconveniences
The Watergate Hotel has leaned hard into its association with the Watergate scandal, creating a unique, quirky experience. I appreciated the subtle references to break-ins and theft, as well as the retro typewriter font used throughout the facility

Argentta Spa & Watergate were amazing! Carol & Sean stood out. A true oasis during my DC stay. Carol & Sean were great!
I had a fabulous overnight stay at the Watergate Hotel and countless wonderful Mondays using the Argentta Spa day pass. Carol at the spa was absolutely fantastic, and Sean on the rooftop made the experience even better. The Kingbird restaurant was ve
First trip to Washington
We really enjoyed our stay. The beds are comfortable and I loved the shower in the morning. The service is excellent and all the staff make you feel welcomed.
Overall, good experience.
Well, trained staff. The rooms were spacious, and the balcony was a nice feature. The front counter people were attentive, courteous, and well trained. I thought the concierge was especially good.
Amazing location and facilities
The Watergate is a great place stay if you want to be close to the Georgetown Waterfront and the known sights in DC. Staying right on Virginia Ave allows you to walk 5 minutes to the waterfront where you can go for a wonderful walk into Georgetown fo
Everything was superb - the room, the view, the amenities.
The customers service was perfection.
Unique and Outstanding Hotel
We were pleasantly surprised on our stay at the Watergate. The rooms still have authentic touches and style with a modern twist. It is great to stay at a property with original charm and not “cookie cutter”. The service was very personal and
Urban resort level experience
The Watergate was a lovely experience. The mod 60s design was thoughtful and playful, with vintage detail even refelcted in staff attire. We enjoyed the amenities: the room's storage space, the rooftop's comprehensive view, the spa and fitn
Customer service
The hotel room was average, the shower door leaked, the ac vent cover consistently became dislodged, however despite these minor inconveniences the customer service was top notch. Everyone from the front desk (Hugo) and the valet were ALL exceptional
First class all the way. ❤️
The historic Watergate Hotel was very upscale, the rooms were comfortable and plush and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd like to give a special shout out to Yab, the doorman. He was our first contact at the Watergate, the face
Appaling breakfast service
Those of you who follow me will know, that I always try to be positive in my reviews. But I will not this time, the Watergate is overrated, it is nearly unfeasible to switch off the lights in the evening which makes it fifficult to sleep. And niw abo

I had high expectations for The Watergate Hotel given its reputation and five-star rating, but this stay was, by far, the worst hotel experience of my life. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that service and hospitality are not a priority here.
Worth a day for one night.
For history reasons. Restaurant and amenities are subpar. Yab made our stay more enjoyable. It's not close to much but there is a liquor store if you go down the escalator that doesn't work in the complex. They spent $200 million on renovat
Fantastic hotel in a great neighborhood.
The reception staff was helpful and welcoming. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious, with easy-to-use temperature controls. My room was spotless, quiet, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail felt thoughtful and high-end—I recently stayed at the
Absolutely AMAZING service and SUPER kind and awesome staff.
The rooms have full maid service so after a long day in dc you can just go back to your room and SLEEP in very comfy beds. I asked one of the maids for extra water and the maid remember that we wanted extra waters so we got extra waters every time we
Wow, I can't say enough about this place.
It is fantastic. The location is great. The staff is wonderful. The food is excellent. The accommodations are luxury not to mention the spa. It's a little expensive but they have a saltwater pool inside with dim blue lights a hot tub to die for
This was a horrible experience.
Too bad because the hotel itself is beautiful. My experience started as I was checking in. I was standing in line and had a mug and a paper bag in my arms. The bellhop offered to take the items and add them to the cart with our luggage. Fast forwar
I would not necessarily consider this a 5-star "luxury"
I would not necessarily consider this a 5-star "luxury" hotel. Everything was just okay. Nothing to rave about. There are not many restaurants or bars close to the hotel, and the restaurant at the hotel closes at 9pm, which is somewhat

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Watergate Hotel Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Watergate Hotel Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DazzlingStretch76, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DazzlingStretch76 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DazzlingStretch76 for any questions Peter may have as DazzlingStretch76 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DazzlingStretch76 now uses their connections at The Watergate Hotel Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DazzlingStretch76 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DazzlingStretch76 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DazzlingStretch76's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Watergate Hotel Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
