Where Iconic History Meets Modern Luxury
Step into the legendary revival of The Watergate Hotel, a storied landmark reimagined as a luxurious urban resort along the banks of the Potomac River. Following a $200 million renovation, this iconic property has emerged as a premier destination for discerning travelers and meeting professionals seeking a blend of timeless elegance and contemporary sophistication.
Perfectly positioned between Georgetown and downtown Washington, D.C., The Watergate Hotel offers a refined take on mid-century modern design, paired with gracious service and elevated amenities. Its newly constructed Moretti Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 200 delegates, while a selection of smaller meeting rooms, including the Cecchi Junior Ballroom and two Hospitality Suites, provide ideal settings for breakout sessions, interviews, and VIP gatherings. In warmer months, the hotel’s 10,000-square-foot outdoor event space offers a stunning backdrop for cocktail receptions, team-building activities, and open-air celebrations.
Culinary experiences at The Watergate Hotel are as memorable as the setting. Guests can unwind at the Top of the Gate rooftop bar, offering panoramic views of the city skyline and Potomac River—an unrivaled venue for evening receptions. The Next Whisky Bar provides an intimate atmosphere for private conversations, while the hotel’s dual-concept restaurant caters to both casual and formal dining preferences. For added convenience and indulgence, in-room dining is available, allowing guests to enjoy gourmet meals in the privacy of their luxurious accommodations.
Each guest room is thoughtfully appointed with marble five-piece baths, custom bath amenities, plush linens, and serene design elements that create a true urban oasis.
