We booked a fantastic suite so we could have guests in our room before our evening festivities and its a perfect room for entertaining. Fun decor and great views. A festive location for a bachelorette party. Lunch on the roof deck was fun way to soak up the city.

Upgraded on check-in to a room on the tenth floor with a decent view of the White House. The rooms are modern and well furnished - usual W standards but with little sign that this is an older building. Gym is good (and open 24 hours) if a little small. Service great throughout. Stung for a charge for having a... More

We'd read the reviews and knew what to ask for: room with Treasury view, sink in the bathroom, coffeemaker in room (with coffee and cups), etc. (We were using points for a free night) etc. Got all that- and room had great view. Yes, a little small, but better than I expected. We really liked having refrigerator in the room.... More

I have been traveling for 5 years staying in a hotel from Sunday-Thursday and this is by far the worst hotel experience that I have ever had. I work during the week in Falls Church and my company offers me the option of staying in a hotel at a comparable price to the falls church Westin (which is excellent) instead... More

In many respects the W Washington is like most other W properties - a "cool" lobby with chic decor with piped in new-age music, a spectacular rooftop bar, helpful staff and small rooms. You certainly can't beat the location. The W is right across from the Department of Treasury building and one block from the White House. Whether you're in... More

Sometimes "best" gets thrown around willy nilly... but the staff at the W bring a professional familiarity that is so refreshing in an American hotel. I feel at home here and the staff and the view from POV is simply the "best"

Gorgeous hotel. great, sleek rooms. POV is the best bar/lounge in DC! JG Steakhouse was a hit as well. I'll definitely stay here again, and recommend staying here to anyone traveling to our Nations Capital. Well done W DC!

Let's just get this out of the way: YES, the W has perhaps the best location in all of DC, and the POV rooftop bar has an unparalleled view. We know this. It's absolutely a luxury hotel. The rooms and beds are comfortable, and the customer service is of the "bend over backwards" variety. It's all good. However, the look... More

W hotels are expensive, eclectic and the DC property fits right in. The location near the White House and the view from the rooftop bar are great. The hotel has some very comfortable rooms and some rooms that are far too small for the price. Be careful to request a room that has the sink inside the bathroom. The lobby... More

I know W Hotels are supposed to be kind of funky & cool, but we expected the one across the street from the White House to have comfortable rooms with a nice & normal layout. Or maybe, it's just too funky for our taste. the furniture is white plastic or maybe laquer. The sink portion of the bath room is... More
