    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

If you have the opportunity to catch one of these evenings, it is absolutely worth the effort. I arrived early and stopped at Off the Record for a drink before heading upstairs. The bartender mentioned that this event also helps provide additional hours for staff during the slower month of August, which made me appreciate the concept even more. The Top of the Hay itself is stunning. The views and setting are exactly what you would expect from such an iconic DC property, and getting to experience a space that is typically reserved for private events made the evening feel particularly special. The drinks were also excellent. Sweet, but not overly sweet. But what really stood out was the staff. I do not say this lightly. The service was outstanding. I genuinely wish I had caught everyone's names because anyone working between roughly 4:30 and 7:30 that evening in the lobby, Off the Record, or Top of the Hay deserves recognition and a raise! Every person I interacted with was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. What impressed me most was that the staff remembered my schedule for the evening and made sure I left Off the Record at exactly the right time so I could be the first person to step into Top of the Hay when it opened. That level of attention to detail is rare. Beautiful space, great drinks, and truly exceptional hospitality. "Be Gin the Evening" is such a clever way to let locals and visitors experience a part of The Hay Adams they otherwise might never see. I would absolutely do it again.

    Still wondering what is 5-star about this outdated, tiny-rooms, no view place. Our stay at The…read moreHay-Adams was deeply disappointing and fell far short of basic expectations, let alone what you would expect from a property claiming five-star luxury. For the rates they charge, the conditions and service are unacceptable. The building is old, heavily dated, and features cheap fixings. The bathroom is tiny, featuring a cramped round sink with virtually zero counter space to set down any personal items. Furthermore, for a five-star hotel, lacking a proper hot tub and standalone shower is unacceptable. The towels provided are cheap, rough, and feel entirely out of place at this price point. The bathroom ventilation is so old and loud, that I can't even believe it's there. No fridge in the room, only a mini bar that will charge you if you move around mini bar items to place your own drinks. The view of the White House was severely misadvertised. To actually see it, you are required to pay an extra $700 on top of an already steep $600-per-night room rate. The acoustic insulation is non-existent. If anyone is staying in the room above you, forget about sleeping--every single footstep and movement carries straight through. The front desk staff was entirely dismissive. After promising to switch our room to resolve our issues, they dragged us through three separate attempts, wasted hours of our time with non-responsive answers, and then finally demanded we pay even more money to fix their mistake. After we went through, not even a complimentary breakfast or really anything. Shocked that this place is more expensive than Four Seasons, St. Regents, and the kind. This is barely a three star hotel (except location of course). Stay away.

The room was spotless, the turndown service was a nice flex, and everything felt polished. The location is clutch--walkable to fun spots and everywhere we needed to be for work. The key-card elevators are sleek, high-tech, and super secure. The restaurant and bar had great energy, and the food hit, but $24 for a drink is unhinged. Overall, a stylish, safe, and seriously fun stay. More details from my review on Google: Rooms: The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The turndown service was a lovely touch, and everything in the room was perfect throughout my stay. Safety: The hotel elevators felt extremely secure and high-tech. Guests must use a key card to access certain levels and floors, which added an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. It's a great security feature and made me feel very comfortable during our stay. Walkability: The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of plenty of things to do, as well as the locations I needed to access for work. The location made my stay easy and convenient. Food & drinks: The hotel restaurant and bar had a nice atmosphere, and the food was good, but everything felt extremely overpriced. Charging $24 for one drink is absurd. I enjoyed the experience overall, but the prices make it difficult to recommend. Noteworthy details: From the moment I arrived, I was treated like a regular. The staff made me feel genuinely welcome and at home-never like an outsider in an exclusive club. Their warm, down-to-earth hospitality made the experience truly special.

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.

    (Please note I am writing this before the end of my stay)…read more A tale of two cities: My significant other and I are on a bit of a journey up the east coast and we have been blessed to stay in some stunning locations. This review is written on the piggy back of staying in a wonderful location in Asheville. On paper we had a similar experience; greeted warmly by the valet, then again by the concierge. We also have the similar warm plush robes waiting in the room with a welcome note (it's our anniversary). Both locations also boast the roof top bar. In Asheville I sat and drank prosecco and watched the moon rise and then respectively the sun rise over the city. This is where the Hotel Washington takes the turn and as the reader I suggest you ask "what is the experience I am looking for?" The hotel Washington has a beautiful bar with great team members but it is very difficult to see the monuments. There are artificial flowers and pretty lights to give you a spot for lovely photos (of the artificial flowers) and probably look lovely if you're a content creator on social media. But the bar that overlooks the Washington monument has pink lights that reflect off the windows preventing you from actually looking at the monument. In the morning I walked to get a coffee and returned hoping to sit upstairs and watch the sunrise over the city. Nope! "For security purposes" the roof is locked until 4pm. The 4 stars instead of 5 is there is a very heavy perfume in the hotel lobby. It is very heavy and does not seem to have a purpose other than to "not smell of people or outside". This hotel is lovely! The room is comfortable and offers the lavish elegance of a luxury hotel. But the feel this hotel seems to be aiming for is more of a night club and spot for content creators rather than a beautiful building overlooking the amazing history of our country. When booking please consider what you are hoping to get from your experience!

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.
