Best Luxury Hotels in Georgetown

While many of DC’s luxe hotels are grand, large establishments, the Rosewood bucks the trend as an intimate boutique hotel with a high-end approach. Set beside the canal, it gives access to a leafier side of the city, although the eponymous monument can still be seen from the rooftop. And it’s here, at the top of the building, that the Rosewod’s pool (and a pool bar) is found. Guests can also dine with a view of the canal in the Grill Room and drink in the club-style Rye Bar. Rooms at the Rosewood are bang on-trend, yet supremely elegant, with espresso machines, Pratesi linens, touch-panel tech and monsoon showers.

Located in the historic West End, between Georgetown, Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom and within easy reach of the capital’s most celebrated cultural institutions is The Ritz-Carlton, Washington D.C. The hotel’s interiors evoke the classic grandeur of the city and brings a sense of place by showcasing locally inspired art. Home to 300 guestrooms and suites, ranging from executive and one-bedroom suites to two Presidential Suites and the signature Ritz-Carlton Suite. Guests seeking additional privacy and personalised service should opt for Club Level Access, which includes a dedicated concierge and selected food and beverage offerings for members throughout the day and evening.

Dining takes place across two venues, the Quadtrant Bar and Lounge, celebrated for innovative cocktails and cuisine, along with acclaimed restaurant The Saga. Wellness services are provided through the adjacent 100,000 sq ft Equinox Sports Club, which features an indoor saltwater lap pool, boxing area, full-sized basketball court and a comprehensive Mind Body programme.
