To people who've never stayed here, the Watergate Hotel means political scandal. But once you've spent a few nights at this hotel, Watergate only brings to mind memories of excellent food, exquisite service, and luxury accommodations in a convenient setting. The ambiance at the Watergate is a combination of classical elegance and contemporary sophistication. The modern architecture blends flawlessly with the period furnishings, creating a look that is both timeless and unique.
There are 232 rooms in the Watergate Hotel, 160 of which are suites. The accommodations are spacious and decorated as if they were residential apartments, instead of hotel rooms. The traditional decor is rounded out by gilt-framed botanical prints, and the beds are furnished with floral-print bedspreads and dust ruffles. Make sure to ask for a suite with a view of the Potomac.
The Aquarelle restaurant offers some of the finest cuisine in the nation's capital. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, pre-theater and dinner, and for a wonderful Sunday brunch. Enjoy a cocktail at the Potomac Lounge, where light fare and afternoon tea are also served.
As you might expect at one of Washington's finest hotels, the service is impeccable, and the amenities offer that attention to detail demanded by the rich and powerful. There is twenty-four-hour room service and concierge service. Nightly turndown prepares your quarters for sleeping. And in the morning, you are offered a choice of seven daily newspapers. Facilities include an indoor lap pool and sundeck, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, a state-of-the-art health club offering massage and spa treatments, a barber/beauty salon, the gift shop, and jewelers. The Watergate shopping center offers a variety of clothing and specialty stores, as well as essentials such as a supermarket and post office.
Located between fashionable Georgetown and Foggy Bottom, and only a short cab ride from Midtown or the Capitol, the Watergate has an unbeatable location right on the Potomac River. The Watergate is a favorite with visiting celebrities, particularly those who are performing at the Kennedy Center. Recent celebrity guests have included James Earl Jones, Clint Eastwood, Patrick Swayze, Carol Channing, and Richard Chamberlain.
