SPG Platinum for 11 years (since it existed). I was told by the front desk that I got a "great upgrade"! Walked into the room, and was immediately standing on a bath mat. "What's this?" I wondered. Turned out I was in the bathroom (see photo). The sink and shower are right in the room, which was at most 150... more

I stayed 3 days in January at the W in DC on a business trip. While the location is excellent, I was definitely not impressed by the " new and improved" W. The decor is pretty gaudy, starting with the fake fireplace right at the entrance. The Hotel has been recently renovated and I guess while trying to make the... more

When I think of the W hotel chain, I think of sleek, trendy and modern. The new W in Washington DC is all these things but it also retains the charm and elegance of the Washington Hotel which pre-dated the W. I was visiting this property for a site tour and was surprised by the architectural detail which normally is... more

I travel frequently for business and have stayed at many W hotels. This is hands down the worst business travel experience I have EVER had. For business travel you want to have a comfortable room to stay in, but you also want your experience to be hassle-free because traveling for business is already an inconvenience. Compared to other W rooms... more

My wife and I stayed there for Valentine's Day weekend. Starwood has done a good job nenovating what was once a run down Hotel Washington while keeping the historical parts intact. The hotel has a great location close to the Mall and next to the Willard Hotel. I have been a Platinum Starwood member for a long time so we... more

My wife and I celebrated Valentines Day with a stay and dinner at this hotel. This was our first time ever staying at one of the W properties. In a word “sweet”, this place is very trendy and located in the heart of DC. When we arrived the staff treated us very well in so much they gave us a... more

What a view! This hotel was everything we expected and more. Excellent Service and a great hotel staff. The decor was out of this world - so clean and crisp. A fresh new hotel in a very stale city. more

I wrote a review in 2009 about this hotel that was not so glowing. Since then the hotel Food and Beverage Director encourgaged me to give the hotel a second chance - and I am glad I did. Seems they have worked a lot of the kinks out, and brought in a more energetic and friendlier staff. I spent a... more

Room was clean and bright. Very modern but in a cozy way. All glass rain shower terrific. Beautiful mirror vanity with crystal light fixure -- a great surprise for a business hotel. Room overlooked 15th street so no annoying garbage trucks or street sweeper beeping at 4 am. Hotel has a fabulous roof top terrace/bar that overlooks the White House... more
