THE WATERGATE HOTEL

The Watergate Hotel, located on Washington Island, is an iconic hotel associated with the country's biggest political scandal. Its history dates back to its opening in 1965, when Italian architect Luigi Moretti's bold design sparked controversy. Despite the criticism, this luxury Washington D.C. hotel quickly became a favorite haunt of celebrities. Actors and models rubbed shoulders with members of Congress and Supreme Court justices who resided in the Watergate apartments. Since then, the Watergate Hotel has undergone numerous renovations, but none has embraced its original design or its posh clientele, until now. Moretti disciple Ron Arad has restored the hotel with a dramatic copper lobby and luxurious mid-century modern furnishings. The staff is ready to provide a memorable experience for every guest. When it comes to hotels near Georgetown, Washington D.C., nothing surpasses the history of the Watergate Hotel.
