    Planned a local birthday weekend in DC as I always wanted to stay at the Westin Hotel. The check in process was seamless and absolutely loved the round about in front of the hotel. The rooms are very spacious with a pull out couch. The room was very clean. The hotel has a fitness center and a small rooftop pool. We utilized street parking at night as we were sightseeing around the town during the day. I will definitely return to this hotel for further lounging.

    Absolutely giant rooms! Stayed here for a few nights for work and had no complaints. The rooms were ginormous, including a full walk in closet, large bathroom, and plenty of floor space with a small balcony view. Only complaint was the elevators were pretty slow, especially during peak times. Decor was modern and clean.

    The Westin Georgetown in Washington D.C. offers supposedly an upscale experience, particularly appealing to business travelers and wedding parties due to its elegant courtyard and sophisticated ambiance. And basically that's all there is here. Comfortable heavenly bed, and convenient locations walking to Dupont Circle and Georgetown for restaurants and shopping. The pool on their website and I stages my is very deceiving, it's is at tiny as it would fit 3 people, very disappointed. And no view at all in all direction, just buildings! Nothing else in this hotel, very mediocre for what we paid $400+ a night.

    Extra dirty Ketel One martini made by the awesome bartender, Sunam!

    5 stars for the service and drinks at the bar and lounge and 4 stars for the hotel. All I can say is WOW about my dining experience at the Westin Georgetown bar/lounge tonight (6/9/24). Suman is incredible! He is extremely accommodating, friendly, and makes amazing martinis. His customer service is top tier and his menu recommendations are fantastic (Caesar salad - add salmon). I would definitely come back anytime he is working. The hotel is also very nice and the location can't be beat as well. I highly recommend the Westin Georgetown, and especially food a/or drinks at the bar with Sunam!

    I'm a Westin kind of girl. Love knowing there's a Heavenly Bed/Pillows waiting for me at the end of my day and Westin standards of great service. I do find this location a bit worn down. From the carpets as you exit the elevator to your room to the furniture, you would think that with Covid closures they would have taken the time to 'upgrade' a little but they didn't. A few changes here and there would make a huge difference. The location is in a cute part of town, West End/Foggy Bottom, with lots of food choices around, but if you're planning on visiting the big monuments (WH, Lincoln Memorial, National Archives, etc... ) it's a 3-3.5mile walk, each way. Wear comfy walking shoes or use Uber because we're walking 11 miles easy per day. Due to Covid all the restaurants in the hotel are closed- so no breakfast either and the pool they have is cute but not at all heated. Great organized walks & runs that you sign up for at front desk!

    Meeting / Banquet Review; The destination for our Annual Staff Meeting & I was not impressed overall. The banquet department provided a good selection of breakfast & break items, yet the service was bearable. The staff came off as being aggravated each time someone would ask for something, such as lemon for the hot tea. One staff member actually barked at one of my co-workers as she tried to confirm where the Ladies' Room was located. Lunch; It's the Westin chain, that should be enough said...it isn't. Those who ate from the set menu didn't look to pleased, as many picked over their food. A few of us requested the Vegan option & we were presented with a plate of minimal...a few sliced& grilled veggies, a pinch of yellow rice, a drizzle of tomato sauce, equating to a tasteless consumption. Thank goodness for the Cholula Hot Sauce & my two scoops of raspberry sorbet for dessert, as that was the highlight of my meal. I do kindly appreciate the complimentary Granny Smith Apples the Concierge gave me on my way to the DuPont Metro Station-Red Line, which is a brisk 10 minute walk away. If we choose the Westin again, I do hope the experience will warrant an update & another star.

That jetted tub was supposed to earn its keep. The room: genuinely beautiful. The technology: aggressively dated. The vibe: a 90s time capsule, complete with missing doorknobs. There was effort here, but it felt like the hotel was holding its breath, afraid any real investment might trigger the next recession. What they got right: The bellhops were fantastic. Warm, personable, fun. Truly the highlight. Most staff we interacted with were polite and willing to help, which made the gaps elsewhere even more confusing. What they got wrong (beyond the dated room and tech): For a hotel that loudly advertises luxury service, the customer experience fell flat. Outside of the arrival bowl of fruit, nothing felt elevated. Night two, we ordered pizza and planned a cozy Home Alone movie night. The technology made streaming impossible. Fine, cable it is. We called the concierge and asked for two plates. Just two. The answer was a flat no. We were told to walk down to the lobby restaurant and see if they might have plates "to spare." I'm sorry, what? The next morning, room service arrived... with someone else's order. It was corrected, but for a luxury hotel, that kind of miss is surprising. Housekeeping came through, but only halfway. The coffee and minibar were never restocked. In a suite. At a luxury hotel. This is table stakes. At 9:30 PM we stopped by the lobby circle bar. It was immediately clear the bartenders did not want to be there. I get it, service work is hard. Still, opening our interaction by warning us about last call at 11 set a strange tone. By 10:00, one bartender disappeared for 45 minutes. No refills. No check-in. No bill. Breaks are important. Coverage is also important, especially when you're selling a premium experience. Beyond the bellhops, much of the staff felt irritated to be present. Front desk to concierge, the energy was less "historic luxury hotel" and more "counting down the minutes." The hotel was also clearly prioritizing weekend tea and brunch revenue, to the point that the historic lobby was clogged with extra tables and largely unusable for actual hotel guests. Bottom line: this was not a luxury experience, and I would not recommend it. I'm only posting this publicly because I reached out directly to hotel management and never received a response. At that point, a review feels necessary.

Too bad stored blankets were unavailable for sleepers wanting more warmth than their traveling companions. We had to make a second request for one. May I also suggest providing more than one bar of mini soap bars. It's such a minuscule cost item but would obviate having to repeatedly move the precious one bar from sink to shower. We found the valet staff particularly helpful especially when navigating awkward arrivals and parking needs of our personal guests. Sean was a prince. He supervised an otherwise complicated set of logistics with competence and gentlemanly grace. Another shout out to the manager ( sou?) of the breakfast dining. We watched him rigorously oversee staff and guests while occasionally stepping in when helpful. His leadership is likely responsible for the professionalism of said staff. This is in direct contrast to the staff of the Willard across the street where we took the first breakfast of our stay. We were dismayed to have to endure extremely loud staff socializing, boisterous laughter and downright flirting. This type of behavior would have been unacceptable at the JWMarriott. This experience alone confirms our future choice of Marriott over Willard for annual DC visits.

Traveling can be exhausting, and during our stay, my son Colin often went down to the bar and restaurant on his own in the evenings and mornings. What stood out to me wasn't just the quality of the food or service--it was how the staff treated him. Every single time, he was met with kindness, respect, and genuine warmth. He ordered his meals, sat comfortably, enjoyed his time, and never once felt awkward or out of place. The staff made sure he had what he needed, checked in on him naturally, and created an environment where he felt completely at ease. As a parent, that level of care is something you never forget. For me, the experience was just as special. Corey, the bartender, was exceptional. Each evening, he made sure I had exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and engaged in thoughtful, easy conversation that made the space feel welcoming and safe. It wasn't just service--it was connection, and it made a long, tiring trip feel restorative. This hotel doesn't just deliver luxury--it delivers humanity. The staff understands how to read people, how to make guests feel comfortable, and how to create an atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong. I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people. Thank you to the entire team--and especially Corey--for making this such a memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.

We ordered fries as well which were delish - I loved the housemade ketchup. We didn't realize this, but at the St. Regis, they do a daily champagne sabering in the lobby EVERY DAY?! It's at 6pm here - don't miss it. Everyone around gathers, and then you get a complimentary flute of champagne! Our service was attentive and very professional. Very high priced, but how fun to enjoy the luxe atmosphere and complimentary elements!

The vibes are opulent- the Peacock Alley is located in the grand lobby, which is massive and airy with a glass ceiling overhead to let in tons of natural light. A harpist also set the mood beautifully, but they didn't stay for very long- they maybe stayed about 30 minutes past our 3:30pm tea appointment. Tea services are offered at 12:00 noon and 3:30pm. The central cherry blossom tree is the showstopper, and the main reason I chose the Waldorf for our afternoon tea. I had heard that there are several cherry blossom-themed afternoon teas all over DC that may have better food options, but this was the only one with decor this grand. My main concern was with our seating. I had called ahead of time to ask if they could accommodate my group to have a close seating location close to the cherry blossom tree due to our special occasion. The staff assured me during two separate calls that they would be able to accommodate our request, but upon getting seated, we were seated in the far corner by the bar. It is true that there is a fair view of the cherry blossom tree everywhere in the lobby, but I was disappointed at our far vantage point given the fact that I had called to confirm a close spot to the cherry blossom tree twice in advance. This is because I wanted to originally schedule the premium experience (premium seating, champagne, and fine china), but it was not available to groups larger than 4 and we were a group of 6. The service was otherwise perfectly fine and the portions of food were generous and tasty. We were all definitely full after finishing our savory bites. Our collective favorites were the chicken cherryaki and crab beignet bites, but we all appreciated the diverse offerings. We also had a friend with a peanut allergy dining with us, and they accommodated her easily by separating her pastries onto a separate tiered tray. It looks like the only item with a possible nut allergen was the crab beignet (her version had tofu). Despite the mild issues with seating, the experience was gorgeous. As a cherry blossom lover, I can see myself doing this every time I'm back in town. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Service: 4/5 - Food: 4/5
