This review is for the rooftop bar although the hotel looked really nice and staff was friendly. It's rare to find rooftop access in Georgetown and this bar provided great views from Georgetown and across the Potomac. Drinks were a little pricey, but you were paying a premium for the view. It was pretty empty around 11 pm on a Friday night, but I'd anticipate it being more crowded as the weather warms up. Staff was friendly - although they did not let us know ahead of time of the automatic 20% gratuity in the bill. read more

This is one of my favorite places! Whether you're staying overnight or just going to the rooftop, inside bar, or event area, The service here is wonderful. We have been for many different reasons, and each time Everyone is so nice to us. Every area and space in The Graham is so unique. Located in the middle of Georgetown, you can walk to many places and other spots of DC are just a short car ride away. Its a beautiful historic scenic spot with cobblestones, be careful in your heels. read more

This review is only for their rooftop bar: Came to the rooftop after grabbing dinner one night. Views are great and we were able to get a table for the 2 of us without a reservation around 11pm. We decided to order the warm bread pudding and I got a cocktail. Staff is really friendly and helpful, they seated us right away and checked in on us periodically. Our items came out quick and the bread pudding was pretty good. My drink was good too, but it is pricey and the quantity was small. It's a good place to bring friends for rooftop views and to hang out, just be prepared to spend a little more. read more

The hotel is in a phenomenal location. Walking distance to so many locations. The rooms were spacious and luxurious. Staff is extremely nice and all go out their way to ensure they make your stay wonderful. The rooftop bar has such a great view. We are already looking to book our next trip back! read more

The elevator to my floor doesn't work . The AC isn't working. The room is hot as hell. The janky portable ac unit in the room is louder than a small family car. I wouldn't be able to hear the tv, but that doesn't matter because the tv isn't working either. The first room I was given the bathroom door was locked and there was a toilet roll on the floor. I shudder to think what I was supposed to do with that scenario. The phones didn't work so I went to the front desk who said they would send an engineer to unlock the bathroom door. No engineer arrived. I was moved to the current inner circle of hell room. read more

This review is only for the rooftop bar, which I've visited several times and really enjoyed. The view is really scenic, once of the best I've been to in Georgetown. We've also never had an issue getting a table, even though it can get pretty busy. I'll admit that it's pretty pricey, but no more than a typical DC hotel bar. I don't mind it because the cocktails are actually really good and pretty strong. We've always had pretty good and attentive servers. It's a nice spot to take out-of-town visitors for a good cocktail or for a date night. read more

Making this review a few weeks after visiting. But overall nice atmosphere. Tacos were good and service was polite - I was by myself for about an hour and they never complained, even though it was a busy Friday night. Also sunset views were so pretty! read more

Came by for drinks this afternoon and was greeted by a warming festive ambiance in the hotel lobby. Our temperatures were checked, masks were worn, and this establishment was very covid conscious - great during these weird times. My friend and I ordered two cocktails; we forgot the names but they were great. Mine had applejack and hers was an off-menu cucumber creation. They were both fabulous and well balanced. Not to mention, upon being seated we were handed two samples of the mulled wine. All in all a great experience with wonderful service and ambiance. 5/5, I'll be back. read more

I was a little hesitant staying at this hotel because of all the negative reviews on Yelp. But I just checked into the studio suite king room and I love the room. It's spacious for Georgetown, and I can't hear any outside noise. The AC works great too. There's 3 in this room. Location is excellent and staff has been great so far. Keep it up! read more

My twin and I celebrated our birthday on the rooftop last month and we had a lovely time

Ambience: 5 stars Food: 2 stars we were starving and the options were surprisingly limited. Nothing from the kitchen just cold fare and a raw bar. Lobster deviled eggs were disgusting and I had to send them back Drinks: 3 stars Had to return one Service: 1 star. Nice bartender, ghastly European waiter read more

Hate writing bad reviews but how in the world could this qualify as a four star hotel. Great location, crappy service. On two occasions (2 out of 3 days) nothing was refilled by room service despite our repeated requests. Soap? Water? Lotion? Coffee pods? Creamer? Nothing Nothing. And then how many times can you ask? We were told that they had a new room service person. Typically you train or follow up and review the work product. A motel 6 is better run, though I haven't seen many around. We certainly would never come back. Will make sure TripAdvisor gets this too. read more

My review is for the rooftop bar. I've been there several times, usually in the summer when it can feel packed and really a little tacky. But in the early spring, on weeknights, this can feel like your own private terrace, surrounded by white twinkling lights and the most amazing views of the city and river. Great cocktails! read more

Do not ever book an event through the Graham!! We booked our wedding reception here and it was a huge mistake. 30 minutes into our reception they still were not even setup - the staff on site was not even aware of the wedding setup required! Honestly that's just the light version - I could go line by line through our contract and discuss how the events team failed in every way. The kicker though is, not only did they not do what was promised and agreed upon in the contract, but they are completely ignoring any communications we are sending regarding a refund. So, do not, under any circumstances spend your money here. I could recommend plenty of other places that will actually make your day a great one, rather than creating headache after headache. read more

This is a very unique place. There's a cute speakeasy and a cute upstairs that has a beautiful view. They even have blankets in the roof for warm seasons. The whole concept is cool. read more

i'll start off by saying we used to LOVE the Graham. We stayed there once a year for our annual staycation and my wife and I got engaged there. The staff and valets were always the best. Always super friendly and accommodating and would remember us each year we came back. ...However, we went recently about a month ago and it is clearly under new ownership. None of the original staff are there anymore and our super friendly and funny valet guy was gone. All the names on the towels in the room were changed to their new parent company which is fine, but our room was absolutely filthy. I've never in my life changed rooms or even complained at a hotel but there was pee ALL OVER the walls in the bathroom. Rusty nails and screws all over the floor by the windows....very clearly blood or red sauce stains on all the furniture. Large stains on the carpet that looked like vomit and drink spills that were never cleaned up. The white marble shower was visibly dirty with brown streaks and clearly not cleaned after whatever happened in there. It was musty and damp and it smelled weird too. we tookphotos and went downstairs to complain/show them and ask for a new room. they apologized and put us in a new room that was not as nice (in terms of size) so i figured they would comp us the difference. they did not. our new room was clean-ER, but still not very clean and overall not the same feel or look as it used to be. Our glass shower door was broken which wasn't a big deal except for the fact it coulda fallen off and shattered at any moment so we told them when we checked out. i'm writing this because we are sad and disappointed that our favorite georgetown spot is gross and dingy now and unfortunately, we will never come back. I hope new ownership figures it out but they are very clearly NOT cleaning the rooms or checking them before guests arrive. read more

The Graham Georgetown - pee on the wall - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Came for drinks on the rooftop one day after work. 5 star view of the sunset but nothing good enough to bring me back. The atmosphere feels upscale with cozy chairs and couches and a nice view of Georgetown and a glimpse over the river (depending on where you sit). I can't say the view of the Deloitte building is anything to rave about but it's a beautiful place to watch the sunset with friends or on a date. The cocktails are overpriced and very small. Some cocktail bars are worth the price, this isn't one of those places. They have a list of unique cocktails. I tried peach paradise which was so small it could've been taken as a shot. The drink itself wasn't bad but tasted mostly like sweet and sour mix with a splash of peach and vodka. I finished with a vodka soda, good but also hard to mess up. There's honestly no reason a vodka soda should be $16 and you can get other great views on a rooftop for far less. The service is friendly and attentive. All in all if you're in Georgetown, skip the cocktails and grab a beer on the roof and enjoy the sunset for an hour or two but don't go out of your way for this place. read more

I recommend reading the negative reviews. You'll quickly see that they're basically all nonsense! Mad about a party next door, or a credit card not working, etc. The reality is it's a great hotel - we had an excellent stay. Clean, super friendly, nice boutique feel. Location is top tier. We left a night early because my wife got sick and they comped us for it even though they didn't have to. Highly recommend them. read more

Had a wonderful stay last weekend at The Graham. "Sarah" a lovely front desk person on Saturday evening and Sunday day was welcoming , warm and extremely helpful. The doorman (didn't get his name) too was very respectful and willing to help in any way. They got my luggage, parked my car, made a rooftop reservation for me . In COVID times they were particularly safe and patient with my questions and concerns. The rooftop was perfect for spacious outdoor drinks and snacks with a beautiful view of the skyline and great people watching. Highly recommend! read more

The Graham is a small (only 57 rooms), historic hotel in the heart of Georgetown, one of DC's most beloved neighborhoods. It's part of Hilton Hotel's Tapestry collection so you can expect great hospitality. For a boutique, higher end hotel in expensive Georgetown, the prices are reasonable (around $270 a night). It's a small hotel, so it feels more cozy and family oriented compared to The Four Seasons down the road. They have parking on-site, but I recommend street parking (it's cheaper and the bellman pointed us to where we can find free street parking across the street). The lobby itself is small, but cozy. There are couches, chairs, and a fireplace to keep you warm. Also on the ground level are restrooms and a small gym (a few free weights, a stationary bike, etc- no treadmill. They also provide free ear buds and magazines in the small gym). The hotel has 9 floors in total including the restaurant/speakeasy in the basement called The Alex and the rooftop bar with an incredible view of Washington, D.C. Our room was on the 7th floor and for a city room, it was spacious. There was even enough room for a pack and play for our baby that the hotel provided free of charge. The bathrooms are spacious as well! We highly recommend staying here. The entire experience was amazing including incredible service by every single staff person we encountered. read more

I stayed at Graham last night and was quite disappointed. Despite its appealing aesthetics, our room's A/C was non-functional. We spent a restless night in discomfort due to the 97-degree heat. We expected better for the price we paid. Apparently, the A/C problems have persisted in the hotel for a month. We were never notified of this issue in advance; otherwise, we would have had other accommodations. They also charged me an extra $25 because I don't live in DC. This charge was never mentioned in advance. read more

I can't understand the negative reviews. The location is fantastic, parking is simple, the hotel was absolutely beautiful with super comfortable beds. Easy Uber trips into DC. Rooftop bar drinks were amazing (and the view is gorgeous!) and they even let us get some food when they were just shutting down for the night. Amazing service from the minute we got there - will be back again without question. read more

The hotel was booked by our travel agent going off online photos. We wanted an experience outside of DC, and this was perfect. Beautiful scenery, decent shopping and plenty of great restaurants. However, our room did not look like the online photos, was smaller AND our travel agent was not informed that the entire hotel was installing new HVAC, so there was no AC in the building and there were only portable units in each room. Not a good way to experience our first visit. Hot water in the shower did not initially work, and maintenance came up and told us sometimes you have to run hot water thru sink first. I guess the joys of staying in a historic building. The glass shower door had shifted so would not close all the way. We had to request a blow dryer as there was not one in the room and the hair conditioner bottle was empty in the shower and had not been refilled. On the positive side, the staff was all ver friendly and professional. Also, the Roof Top Bar was nice with nice view. Drinks are good but pricey. $$ read more

Pros: location is fantastic Hotel is new and updated amenities Has the boutique feel if you don't like big hotels Security to feel safe Cons: cockroach in the bathroom Staff is just weird, unfriendly almost annoyed Hotels feels creepy In the hall ways Only offered one key for 3 people One towel and one hand towel for 3 people Housekeeping threw away a full bottle of water that I paid for from the bar Probably won't be back and wouldn't recommend read more

Take pictures of your receipt if you visit the rooftop! 20% tip was already included in total amount and waiter decided to charge a greater amount that I didn't authorize. They also charged my ccd a second time for an extra $171. read more

Watch out for dishonest fees! Mandatory $25 amenity fee was charged after the fact, making their actual fee look smaller than it is compared to other hotels. Never saw it when booking until I checked in and was told it was for soda and a snack and wifi (which is listed as complimentary on website). Was told manager would look at it, but never did. Carpet in room looked very old, giving a very underwhelming room feel for their supposed price point. Rooftop bar is overpriced, with underwhelming service and mediocre food. Couldn't judge the drinks, because mine arrived after I finished my meal. read more

The worst hotel experience I've ever had. They had a party in a courtyard right outside my window, which included a DJ. This party was never disclosed to us. The party went on until we'll after 3am.

Location. Location. Location. (I feel like a lot of reviews I flipped through were for the rooftop bar. THIS is a review for the hotel). The hotel is located few steps away from the main strip of shops and restaurants in Georgetown . The concierge was really friendly and gave a great first impression of the hotel. I was most surprised with how large the room was given that the lobby was cozy and that this is a boutique hotel. There was a loonng hallway between the door and bedroom area.The it's self bed was extremely comfortable. I also appreciated the Keurig and nice wireless speakers. The shower was also huge and well styled. I was especially stoked that they had FULL size supplies of shower gel and shampoo/conditioner installed in the shower. I don't remember the name of the brand (it had they word bee or honey in it), it was super high quality and smelled great. read more

Staying at the graham for the night. Went up to the rooftop for a drink earlier and the service was great. Then went to dinner and came back. They treated us like guests in the hotel and we had the best service I cannot explain how great it was. This is the most ACCOMMODATING bar in Washington DC. cheers to the graham rooftop. Keep coming here!!! Thaine was our server and max was the bartender and the drinks and service were BOMB. read more

The Graham Georgetown - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Can't give them even one star, I wish I could give -5 stars ... typical nouveau riche DC personality with low life management who does not know whom to hire, incompetent people with minimum of manners I bet in 1 star hotel in Afghanistan a woman would be received better. They are sitting under their AC and asking bunch of young people who never knew manners either to accept waiting outside to go to a terrible roof with an ugly decor and no clean bathroom. People at front desk not knowing their left from right nor speaking proper English acting like kings, thinking they are busting people going upstairs. What a pity that DC has been reduce to that, seeing the politics in this town today that supposedly are being the elite of USA does not surprise me. What had become of service in USA? Poor management, CEO etc. Bunch of uncivilised people in comparaison to their previous generation. This hotel is over priced with extreme rude service. No words could describe it. read more

This is my review for their rooftop bar. I have not stayed at the hotel at all. I came here to just enjoy some drinks and the rooftop view. The rooftop is very nice and spacious They even have a hot tub which appears to be open to the public I did not partake of that. I did enjoy a couple of mixed drinks The prices were reasonable there is no parking on site I ended up having to Uber and I enjoyed the service but especially the view They do have a bizarre check-in process to take you up to the roof where they escort you personally which I thought was a little strange but aside from that it was an okay experience read more

Wow! The customer service at this hotel is incredible. There was a snafu when I checked in that was fixed instantly and I was treated with so much respect and care I will forever make this my place to stay in Georgetown. The downstairs bar/restaurant "The Alex"'was fantastic. We were greeted with so much warmth and positive energy from Sandy and her team and are so grateful. Thank you for being our number one hotel in Georgetown! read more

The Graham Georgetown is extremely disappointing. I do not recommend staying here. We chose The Graham specifically for the amenities (The Rooftop Bar and The Speakeasy) so it was a great disappointment that #1 the Rooftop Bar was rented out and #2 We were not able to get into the Speakeasy at 7:00pm for a drink. They told us we needed a reservation, when the concierge told us that we did not. I asked the concierge if there was any alcohol that I could purchase and take to my room, but he said to go downstairs to the Speakeasy- where they turned us away. It would've been nice to have a heads up about this, again this was apart of the reason that we chose this hotel to begin with. The second issue was that our room was unbelievably and unbearably hot. I had to ask 2 separate times (and I had to go downstairs to the lobby since the phone in our room was broken) for someone to come and look at our thermostat/air conditioning. It was no more than 40-50 degrees outside, and I could not even wear a jacket in the room due to the unbearable circumstances. No one ever came to fix the air conditioner. We were provided with one fan and at 11:40pm I had to go and ask for a second due to the temperature in the room. Even after we left the room to go to dinner for 2 hours, coming back into the room was like sauna. This is obviously very uncomfortable. There was only one full sized towel in our room. When I asked for a second set of towels and explained we were only given one, the concierge looked at me like I was crazy and asked "You need more than one set of towels?". Usually, two people require more than one towel for showering and usually more than one towel (usually even more than two are provided). This is not something I have ever seen before. When we came back from dinner, a security guard stopped us in the crowd going up the elevator and asked us where we were going. We were GUESTS at the hotel and this felt completely rude and unprofessional. Not to mention that I had spoken to the gentleman prior in the evening and he should've recognized that I was a guest as I had a conversation with him. read more

incredibly awful. The AC wasn't working in all of the rooms they showed us. The rooms all had essentially swamp coolers, floor fans, and dehumidifiers. We tried to eat at the rooftop and that was also horrible. Front desk was totally indifferent. read more

Don't stay here. It's an old building so be prepared for paper thin walls, ceilings, etc. Pipes rattle very loudly when you pull hot water after a period of time. Things on the outside seem glitzy and glamorous, but once you're there you start to notice lots of little things that diminish your experience. The service was okay, but for the price I expected something more refined and respectful. Stay at the Ritz. Parking is valet only. $58 a day, which is insane. Not to mention the valet left my nearly brand new car with a huge curb rash on one of the wheels. Ridiculous!¡ read more
