We used to go to this hotel back when it was the Washington Hotel. We liked it then but really enjoy it now. As others have said, the place is loud and sexy, with the rooftop and lobby areas pulsating until late into the night (at least on weekends). Some like this, others not. We are in the former camp....

Super hip, great service amazing location what else can you ask for?

This is a wonderful beaux-arts building in the heart of DC. Terrific location. The former Hotel Washington has been beautifully renovated to become a trendy and hip Hotel W. The lobby and public areas are beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, offering every imaginable amenity. Bed was great. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, they offered abundant advice and they... More

This was an interesting stay for our family. We chose the W because of its proximity to everything and its good reputation. We had a car with us but we wanted to be able to walk places so we thought this would be convenient. We were in the middle of a 45 day road trip when we stayed here, and... More

Although most of the staff was very friendly and helpful the minute you stepped out of the lobby things changed. Especially on the rooftop bar. The wait staff, both nights I was there was absolutely "cold" and bordered on rude. Even when someone wanted a picture with the city in the background (amazing view) they got "the bartender might be... More

We love the W Hotels and have stayed in about 10 of them across the country. This was our 2nd trip to W Washington DC and we were looking forward to unwinding in a stylish backdrop and sip fancy cocktails at the POV Rooftop. We must have picked the wrong weekend however, as it was full of tourists. Now, of... More

I stayed at the W on business for a conference, and the client selected the hotel and paid for it...so I couldn't complain too much. I won't stay here again, primarily because of the various charges. The hotel is on Fth and 15th. There are a few other hotels on Fth that I normally stay (around Fth and 7th). The... More

I did not stay here but met up with friends lots in the terrace bar which has a great view over the City. You can get a beer or have something to eat in the bar and it is lively most of the time.

You can't beat this location. Literally a stone's throw from the White House. The hotel has all the amenities of the W chain and is very comfortable. It is located in a historic building, which is kind of odd for a W - the mix of traditional and modern. The biggest draw of this hotel is the rooftop deck. I... More
