Pros
Rooftop lounge offers panoramic views of DC landmarks and the Potomac River
Historic property that hosted notable figures from Ronald Reagan to Audrey Hepburn
Extensive whisky collection displayed in an illuminated wall of 2500 bottles
Chef-prepared meals available for pets through Wagtime DC walking services
Cons
1.5 miles distance to main Smithsonian museums on the National Mall
Foggy Bottom area can become quiet after business hours
“Known for its history, the hotel stands out with its distinctive cocktail bar and unique rooftop bar offering panoramic city and river views. The on-site spa with its luxurious treatments enhances the experience, but some details in the rooms need attention. Its location near Georgetown and national attractions makes it a notable choice despite some inconsistencies.”
