Rooms & Suites

The Watergate Hotel Georgetown offers 336 guest rooms and suites with views of the Potomac River or Georgetown. Rooms include 48-inch flat-screen TVs, spa-like marble bathrooms with La Bottega amenities, and private balconies in select units. The Scandal Suite features decor inspired by the 1970s, while the Ambassador and Presidential Suites provide separate living areas, kitchenettes, and wrap-around balconies.

Dining & Bars

Kingbird serves contemporary Italian steakhouse dishes with locally sourced ingredients. The Next Whisky Bar offers over 2,500 whiskies and bourbons in a retro-chic setting. Top of the Gate, the rooftop lounge, provides 360-degree views of the Potomac River, Washington Monument, and Kennedy Center, along with seasonal cocktails and light bites.

Leisure & Wellness

Argentta Spa features a heated saltwater indoor pool, infrared sauna, and treatments like Swedish massages. The mermaid fitness class combines swimming and strength training on Saturdays. Guests can also book private after-hours pool access or pedal-and-picnic excursions along the Potomac.

Location & Attractions

The hotel is in Foggy Bottom, steps from the Kennedy Center and Georgetown's waterfront. The National Mall, Smithsonian museums, and White House are within 3 km. Metro Station (Foggy Bottom-GWU) is a 7-minute walk, offering direct access to Reagan National Airport.

Services & Events

The hotel provides dog-friendly amenities, including chef-prepared meals and walking services. Event spaces include the Moretti Grand Ballroom (510 banquet capacity) and Top of the Gate rooftop (350 guests). Private tours of the Scandal Suite and chauffeured experiences, like igloo dinners, are available.

“This hotel carries a weight of history, amplified by recent commentary citing inconsistent service despite moments of resolution. The prime location near Georgetown and cultural landmarks should be a draw, as is the rooftop bar with its panoramic views. I suspect a full restoration of service standards would allow the property's inherent elegance to shine.”
