Everything was perfect, but we stayed for 3 nights only. Helpful, affable staff, we loved them all. Quiet ambiance and central location made our stay a comfortable experience. Waterfront subway station can be reached within 10 minutes walk.

    During my recent business trip, I had the pleasure of staying at the Intercontinental in Washington D.C. The gym had everything I needed, from Peloton bikes to weights, medicine balls, machines, and a cardio station. The full-service luxury spa was a true highlight, with five treatment rooms, a nail bar, and an oasis lounge offering a variety of ways to rejuvenate and relax.

    Not enough towels.

    the intercontinental was spotless, and the location was perfect for food - fun, and views. the free shuttle to the mall was a bonus, and the valet service was top-notch.

    My friends and I had a blast at the waterfront Wharf neighborhood, exploring cool shops and trying out delicious food spots. We even rented kayaks and had a hilarious time paddling around D.C.! Plus, being part of the loyalty program scored us some awesome perks and discounts.

    The only thing we wished for was a more happening nightlife scene around the hotel for young party-goers like us.

    I absolutely adored the nautical-themed décor of the hotel, especially the cozy sitting areas with breathtaking waterfront views. The abundant natural lighting through the floor-to-ceiling windows made it comfortable for us seniors to move around and enjoy the beautiful surroundings without any discomfort. The accessibility for us seniors was remarkable, allowing us to navigate the hotel with ease and enjoy the lovely decoration and general areas.

    I would have appreciated better guidance for senior vacationers, perhaps a senior-friendly activity or relaxation corner. The children of the staff could have been more proactive in suggesting activities suitable for our age, ensuring a more tailored and enjoyable experience for older guests.

    This hotel truly surpassed our expectations with its exclusive amenities and luxurious services. From the moment we arrived, the warm and friendly staff made us feel exceptionally welcomed. The spa and wellness centre, along with the rooftop pool and sun terrace, were beautiful and provided a relaxing ambiance. The private facilities, room advantages, and restaurant options were all top-notch and added to a one-of-a-kind experience.

    The only minor inconvenience we experienced was a slight delay during the check-in process. Despite our reservation, we were asked to wait an additional 30 minutes before receiving our room keys.

    The hotel offers excellent facilities and spacious rooms with great water views and luxurious bathrooms. The hotel is centrally located in the wharf area, making it easy to walk to restaurants, bars, and enjoy live music. A complimentary shuttle bus is available to popular tourist sites.

    Felt safe and secure, with friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble.

    The new modern property was mind-blowing! Celebrating my 38th birthday, the front desk lady surprised me with a free drink and upgraded room. The location on the Wharf was SUPER convenient, with fresh seafood just steps away. The free shuttle to the National Mall was a jaw-dropping bonus. The staff was friendly and helpful, from valet parking to check-in. We loved the comfy bed and the overall newness of the hotel. Can't wait to stay again!

    We recently stayed at a hotel in the city and had a wonderful experience! The location was perfect, close to everything and just a short walk to the mall that was cooler in the evenings. The room was spacious and comfortable with a nice view of the city. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, especially Marisse Wong who provided exceptional customer service. The breakfast was delicious and the service was outstanding. it was a fantastic stay!

    The portions served for dinner at the onsite restaurant were a bit expensive.

    We had an amazing stay at this hotel in D.C. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. They promptly switched our room when we wanted a tub instead of a shower. The facilities were beautiful, and the rooftop pool was a highlight. The free shuttle service to the mall was a great perk, and the lively atmosphere on the Wharf made for enjoyable evenings. We even got to witness a surprise fireworks show on Sunday night.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel was great! It was conveniently situated near the Anthem, making it a perfect choice for a show. The view from the balcony was also amazing. We got to enjoy a picturesque scene during our stay. Additionally, the shower in the room was spacious and provided a refreshing experience.

    There were a few negative aspects to our stay. the balcony was extremely small, making it difficult to move around.

    I recently stayed at the Intercontinental in D.C. for a business trip with my CEO. Marisse Wong, the assistant manager, provided outstanding customer service and went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. The security, valet, and food service staff were also excellent. The hotel's focus on good people and exceptional service sets it apart from other top-line hotels. The location, cleanliness, and comfortable beds were all highlights. Additionally, the shower and robes in the room were lovely, and the breakfast at Moon restaurant was amazing.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    The king room with balcony was great, with a wonderful view of the river. The bathroom and shower were amazing, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. The rooftop pool was a wonderful perk, allowing us to enjoy a refreshing swim.

    More lounging chairs in the rooftop pool area would have been nice, as the regular sitting chairs weren't very comfortable. The rooftop bar was also closed, despite the website stating otherwise, and we couldn't bring our own drinks.

    We recently stayed at a hotel in a fantastic location, with easy access to Reagan National airport, the National mall and the cooler malls we wished we had known about. The hotel was situated right on the wharf, with fantastic restaurant options just a stone's throw away. The room was spacious and well-appointed, with a modern bathroom and comfortable bedding. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff at every turn. The hotel breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. We also appreciated the great view of the water from our room.

    We were disappointed to find an unexpected charge on our credit card for some snacks that we assumed were complimentary. Nevertheless, this did not detract from our overall positive experience at the hotel.

    We had an amazing stay at the Intercontinental. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the National Mall and museums, and just a short Uber ride to the airport. We loved the rooftop bar and pool, and there were plenty of great restaurants in the area. The hotel's waterfront location was absolutely beautiful, especially during sunset walks on the pier. The staff was incredibly attentive and polite, from the concierge to the valet parking guys. Everything was efficient and clean, and we really appreciated the early check-in. The view from our tenth-floor room was breathtaking, and the bathroom and decor were stunning. Communication with the staff via text was seamless as well.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes 😊.

    I chose this hotel for a corporate offsite because of its elegant meeting facilities and expansive event space, featuring unique meeting rooms and elegant ballrooms with unforgettable waterfront views of the Potomac River. This contemporary experience is equally suited to business and pleasure, making a lasting impression on guests.

    I missed having a small convenience store on-site for quick and easy access to essential items during my work stay.

    The bar offers a thoughtfully curated selection of cocktails and innovative drinks. I had the pleasure of sipping on a refreshing signature cocktail while overlooking the waves of the Potomac River. It was an experience that elevated my spirits as much as the perfectly executed drink.

    Check-in wait time was long.

    We rented kayaks and paddled past the stunning D.C. skyline, soaking in the lively atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The location provided a perfect mix of relaxation and family-friendly activities, making our stay truly memorable.

    The room is flooded with natural light, and the spa-inspired bathroom is pure bliss. The Nespresso maker is a game-changer for my morning coffee routine. The 50" TV with Bluetooth made movie nights extra cozy.
