    Top 10 Hotels In Washington D.C.

The iconic and legendary Watergate Hotel is located next to Georgetown and the ideal location for corporate groups & meetings in Washington D.C. With over 31000 square feet of meeting and event space, our hotel was completely redesigned and renovated in 2016. Ten functional meeting rooms across two levels comprise our distinct meeting and event rooms. Additionally, our rooftop venue, Top of the Gate, offers the best views of the city and Potomac River in all of Washington, DC.

Here, you’ll uncover a hotel unlike anything in Washington D.C. — a place where modern design blends with an iconic landmark to redefine luxury. The Watergate Hotel’s flowing avant-garde architecture was designed by Luigi Moretti to emulate the mighty Potomac, and its stunning new Ron Arad-designed interior lives up to the building’s original elegance. Complementing the hotel’s new, modern feel are the retro-chic staff uniforms, made by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant.

The Watergate Hotel takes classic elegance and bold mid-century modern design and adds all of the extravagance and warmth of contemporary luxury. This one-of-a-kind hotel pays tribute to its own storied past, while paving the way for a new chapter to be written. Our prime address near Georgetown offers ease of accessibility, near popular D.C. attractions, with plenty of options for business and leisure travelers alike. With impeccable service and superior amenities, The Watergate Hotel is the perfect blend of luxury and unparalleled convenience, all within the nation’s capital.
