I had a wonderful time at the Ritz. Outside of one small hiccup at the front desk Friday night (which the hotel astutely and proactively handled the next morning) everything was fantastic. The superior suite was nice and clean, and the food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the friendliness of the bell hops and the catering director Liliana. Well done, I'll certainly return! read more

Tbd. Emma and the whole front desk team along with Carlos really made my day. Rishi the manager is excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay after some initial bumps. read more

The lobby area wows with plenary of windows and lots of plush seating and a fire going in the oversized wood-burning fireplace; there's an industrial-chic vibe that makes it feel like you're entertaining close friends in a huge but cozy living room. Rooms are spacious and true to RC form with both bathtub and shower and luxurious bath products, snacks, complimentary chocolates, slippers, robes, and a personal coffee machine. There was also the crackling sound and video of a well tended fire in a fireplace playing on the television as you enter the room...just that extra RC touch :) read more

This place made me wait 2 hours there is a storm outside then the lady at the front desk was so rude! I asked for a refund when I saw the room. At first it looks fancy then when you see the rooms you would want a refund too. read more

Dirty, Dark,. 1 ply toilet paper. Empty glasses and coffee cups at the entrance. Doorman would not pick them up. Cracked lamp shade. Need I say more?. The bed was comfortable. read more

I mean it's the Ritz, right? The location of this place is up a side street, but once you get here the staff are wonderful. The lobby and front desk resemble a concierge instead of your typically front desk. The lobby is full of comfortable couches and chairs and very modern looking. We stayed on the ground level or spa level and our room was spacious and what I expected. I've stayed at other Ritz before, but this one is my favorite. Great staff and excellent service. Valet parking is $53 a night, but well worth it since I can't imagine trying to find other options for the night. I'm glad we came and would come back again in a heartbeat. read more

This review is just for the lobby bar area. While there for the Thanksgiving week, we did some shopping in Georgetown and a friend recommended stopping by for cocktails and S'mores. They were perfect and it was great to get warmed up and having a little something sweet. We will be back on our next trip! read more

We ate dinner in the The lounge area of the hotel. At first it seemed a little too casual but we were pleasantly surprised. Our server Kenny was amazing - one of the best ever. The food was also sensational , one course better than the next. I would highly recommend this venue. read more

We booked our stay a couple of months in advance so we could stay in Georgetown on our road trip from Chicago to Washington. Got a polite email today saying that the Ritz-Carlton overbooked its property with a large group (of VIPs, I suppose) and we'd been moved to another hotel. So much for making a reservation. So, we have booked elsewhere. And asked that they donate their award points to a deserving not-for-profit. Unfortunately, this is the kind of hospitality that you can expect from the Ritz-Carlton. No phone call. No options. Just an email canceling your reservation. Makes me unlikely to ever use the brand again. I hope not, but has anyone else been treated this way by the Ritz-Carlton? read more

Gorgeous hotel, even better staff! They made my mom's birthday stay awesome! David in room service was especially great! Awesome stay in a beautiful, historic city. read more

No more than a regular Marriott. The room service was good but the snacks in our room had expired. I told them I would need to put something in the refrigerator and they assured me that I would not get charged if I opened it, Or at least that it wasn't their policy if it was; However, when I got my bill, it showed a charge. Overall better to go to a Marriott than to pay for this hotel read more

Solid Ritz in Georgetown with easy access to the airport and helpful, friendly staff. It's in the heart of Georgetown but tucked away on a side street which lends to the cozy and quaint charm; interestingly enough, it still has a brick smokestack which adds to that appeal. The lobby has a modern aesthetic with a plethora of couches and lounge chairs - which is great for grabbing and then catching up with a relaxing read. The rooms are pretty spacious and comfortable, with a full bathtub and marbled decor (sorry I live in NYC - large bathtubs become a rare and treasured commodity). The concierge and staff are wonderful and they truly do take care of you the minute you set foot on the property, which is much-appreciated when traveling for work. Definitely my pick for a hotel in Georgetown. read more

With the reputation, you'd expect more. Even the food was only middling. Decor, furnishings. It's a nice location but I can't say it has the sense of anything special. read more

The staff here were super nice. My Dad took me to go to the hospital for an emergency infusion right after we landed in Washington DC. My Aunt came to this hotel to get our rooms all settled while we spent our first night in the hospital. We came to the hotel the next morning after my hospital stay and everyone was really nice. They helped us with our bags and when we came back from breakfast to take a nap in our room we found that the hotel Chef Kristi had given us a care basket of treats with a get well card. It was very sweet. Everyone we met who worked at the hotel was really nice and informative. In the lobby they also give out french toast smores every evening. We only had them once and they were delicious. One of the concierge was Filipino so we told him I was half. The day we left Tito, the Filipino concierge, gave me a Baguio City coin purse and a Filipino t-shirt, it was really nice. A great way to end our month long vacation. read more

Every time I stay a ritz I think why do I ever stay anywhere else. This time was no exception. The nicest and most competent staff. Had a small plumbing problem and it was fixed instantly. Housekeeping was obsessed with getting my room spotless and replacing my tea exactly as I had before. The room was spacious, the gym lovely and the restaurant delicious. Love that when I ask for breakfast at 9:15, it comes exactly at 9:15. Price was right for what we got. Thank you ritz team for knocking it out of the park. Worth it. read more

This review is for the lobby/bar area. A friend celebrated her birthday with a stay at the hotel and a spa treatment and wanted us, her girls, to meet her there for dinner and drinks. VERY cute place and the staff at the front welcomed me as soon as I walked in the door. "You must be here for Miss _____". I thought that was nice! Anyway, our server was Mike, and while he moved a little slow, it was a pretty large party and we weren't at all in a rush. The menu was confusing. It listed small bites, and a section called "Shareables" I wasn't sure if it meant a super large portion, or like tapas sized portion. After checking with Mike, he assured me that the shareables were in fact single portion meals (at $24 they'd better be) I went with the carbonara. It was very meh. That's what the three stars is for. I didn't order a drink because the birthday girl kept the champagne flowing. But they were $17. *blink blink* Overall, I'd come to stay at the hotel, but I'd definitely venture around Georgetown to some other places for food and drink. read more

We stayed here for NYE 2020 and had a wonderful time. Due to COVID, masks are required in common areas and there were different hours for the lounge, bar, and dining. The lounge area was amazing with a fireplace, holiday decorations, and plenty of comfortable seating. We booked the Wellness Room with 1 King Bed. It's on the lower level of the hotel so there aren't great views but there are upgrade in the room like an air purifier, yoga ball, and noise machine. The bathroom is also beautiful, it's a very spacious room, and the king bed is super comfy. Diego at the front desk was extremely helpful to help us get settled in and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and attentive to our needs. We were requested late check out and they allowed us to stay until 2pm, which was much appreciated after staying up late for the count down. The cherry on top for the stay was the champagne and desserts that were waiting for us in the room to celebrate the new year! read more

LOVE this ritz. There are two in DC. this one is definitely more of a hotel style and it is beautiful. Right in the middle of the most gorgeous town- Georgetown! read more

We had family coming from 4 states coming in for graduation for GWU commencement. All arriving at different times, the accommodations were wonderful as they try to keep us together. Everything was working and the rooms were especially clean. The concierge , doormen, Wait staff , and Manager we're All so welcoming .They we're accommodating and helpful with every request. We had the best stay because everything was perfect. Trying to please people from so many places is a difficult task but they accomplished it but the with grace and professionalism. A great place to stay in Georgetown. Thank you all at the Ritz. Sheldon Family read more

We had 3 room for 2 nights and the they were very basic rooms and we paid over $5,000. Not the quality of a Ritz Carlton. Starbucks had a better quality of toilet paper in their restrooms. No Kleenex (one sheet) in our bathroom and a toilet that ran on and off all night. Would not recommend staying there for that price. Over rated for what you get. Very standard. read more

I will give my overall experience at this hotel 2 stars because it is a low value for the price. The hotel room was nice, the bathroom being the best part. All of the doors were wood and there were wood accents everywhere. It was $349 per night plus fees, however I can honestly say that I have stayed at Marriott's that were just as nice and offered guests a lot more for half of the cost (or less). My stay here wasn't exceptional. There was a fully stocked fridge and snack drawer which, to my surprise, wasn't complimentary. I was expecting the extras to be free of charge but none of them were. Wifi access was $10 per day, parking was $51 per day, and there was no coffee maker inside the room. The restaurant was small and served only small plates for dinner. Please see my review on that one. I had hoped that there would be more dining options but there was just the one. I hear they have a decent happy hour though. I used the gym which was fully stocked with water bottles, towels, and tv's at most of the machines which was pretty nice. My only negative here is that all of the machines faced away from the door. It may just be me but it creeps me out not to know of someone is approaching me from behind, especially when I have on ear phones and can't hear them. During my workout I only put in one earbud. The service was excellent. All of the hotel employees were kind and accommodating. I had room service one night which was a chicken Caesar salad. It was just ok, nothing special. I was really expecting something more luxury than what this hotel had to offer. Next time I will go for a less expensive place with more to offer guests. read more

I honestly don't even know what to say. Bad customer service, burnt food, etc. I once asked them for a fork, waited 15 minutes, and nothing came. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

3.5 stars This high end hotel has a great location in Georgetown. Easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Beautiful interior with a very cozy lounge/fireplace setting. Drinks and appetizers are reasonable and delicious. We enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace and having cocktails and appetizers. Our room was nicely appointed and the overall service was excellent. Nice staff! I am not convinced that it is a good price/value at $400-$550 per night. However, if you have the money to drop it is worth the experience. There are many other less expensive options with equivalent amenities and service nearby. read more

This is my new local go-to place! Great everything here! Customer service, food & off the beaten path. Plus the price point is just right compared to the touristy places on M. I'm sure I'm not the only local who thinks this is a hidden gem for lunch/brunch/dinner! The manager Mike is really attentive to making this a great experience for customers :) Don't be surprised if you have celebrity sightings here! Unbeknownst to me while dining outside, Russell Crowe was behind me on his mountain bike! #rcmemories read more

My first 5 star review. I give four stars to a great experience but save five for perfection. I have never been treated so well by hotel staff. My husband and I are celebrating both my birthday and our anniversary and I have felt pampered all weekend. The room decor is beautiful and posh, but lacks the sleekness of some luxury hotels. The bed is amazing! The amenities are more than I hoped for. read more

A cozy evening next to fire place, peaceful and excellent service from Abdul! This man alone deserves full five We were there for just drinks, and guess what We stayed for appetizers, dinner and desert. Truly enjoying everything we ordered to perfection, not being rushed and pushed was a factor. Sweet evening! Thank you for making it a memorable experience read more

Enjoyed my stay! Room service accidentally through some of my new purchases away. The hotel refined my Kinney for the items with no problem.

Had breakfast date here last Saturday. Ambience was great, rich warm tones in dining area very pleasant. Pineapple pancakes were just okay. Bloody Mary was good. That being said, I have not stayed at the hotel, only brunched there with my date. The building itself looked gorgeous and while I have not perused the hotel room photos on Yelp or anywhere else, I can assume that the rooms must be quite nice. And the little treats at the front lobby were an adorable touch when walking in. read more

Fantastic hotel! My family chose this hotel as the place to camp for a big family wedding. Rooms are large, well appointed with luxurious beds. Property is a former factory which has been turned into a completely unique space. Public areas are so comfortable and relaxing, not stuffy at all. But the best part is the staff. Luis, Shervonne, Marianna and George and the entire staff made our stay unforgettable. My partner and I were treated like royalty. Truly lovely people here who care about their guests. We will come back he first chance we get. read more

Great service. Degree Bistro is worthy for locals and travelers. Drinks, food is delicious. Staff is always world class. Belinda, Edward, et al. servers are excellent. Great little hotel spot in Georgetown. This upscale hotel used to be an infirmary. read more

Amazing massage at the spa! The premises were just ok, but that was definitely compensated by my massage therapist; she was a gem!

Review is just for the bar. I lived in New York for many years, and don't blink an eye anymore at very expensive drinks. But if you charge more than $15 for a drink in DC, it'd better be really good. The service should also be spot on. Well the drinks were not very good, and the service was slow and forgetful. The drink descriptions look much better than the drinks actually taste. We both got whiskey based-drinks that should have tasted different but actually tasted very similar. In both, it seems like the bartender relied on bitters in both because that's all we could taste. We were also in a bit of a time crunch since we had stopped in after dinner and before a show. But it took forever to order and get the drinks and pay. We also sat down at a table that was dirty to be closer to the fireplace, and it took them very long to clean up the table. Had the ambiance not been so nice (it was so nice it would've been worth the drinks price if the service and drink quality were improved), this may have been a one star. read more

I have not experienced many luxury spas, but the petite spa at the Georgetown Ritz Carlton was amazing. First things first - if you have a spa treatment, you get free valet parking! Total bonus when you're scrambling to get there in DC traffic. The attendant said the place is pretty empty Monday - Thursday and I definitely had the place to myself. The robe was so plush that I considered (and still do) buying one for home. The locker room is small, but still has all of the amenities that you expect at a Ritz. Huge showers, sauna, steam room, shower shoes, mouthwash, qtips, shavers, etc. The massage was done by Dana - she was great. I had MANY stress knots in my neck and upper back and she really focused on them and worked through them. She had very good bedside manor and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I loved the hot towels they put on my feet and then the large hot towel thing (i couldn't see it, but it felt wonderful) they put on my back. The cost of a 50 minute massage is $120 and honestly worth every penny. I am going for the 80 minute $160 massage next time - I didn't want it to be over! It was a total treat and I would recommend this to anyone in need of a little relaxation after a stressful day at work.....or day of shopping. It was private, comfortable, clean, convenient, accommodating, etc. I called Monday afternoon and got an appointment for Tuesday at 6:30. I wish I got there at 6pm, so I had time before and afterwards to hang out in the steam room/sauna. They close at 8pm. read more
