The hotel is in a good location for Georgetown and has a lot of good attributes. Unfortunately my trip coincided with renovations which were not mentioned at booking. Hammer drills on concrete are less than helpful when using a hotel for business calls or focused work. The renovation also meant that the restaurant was closed.

Hotel's Favorite
Great physical space - intimate. Tailored. We stayed in suite 407 and loved the long hall in the suite as well as an excellent and spacious bathroom. Shower was outstanding. Everyone on staff was outstanding and professional. The rooftop bar is an added bonus. We are frequent four seasons users and the price point here when we came was much better for the value. The only thing truly lacking is the gym - really small and fairly useless.

My wife and I spent two nights at the Rosewood Washington in March, 2023. I had mixed emotions about our stay, and hesitate to recommend the hotel. Let me explain. We had a premier corner room, with 4 windows overlooking 31st street NW and the then dry C&O canal. The room was nicely sized for a single room, and had a separate couch area, a desk, and an enormous piece of furniture that housed the TV and minibar (and which, unfortunately, blocked about ½ of one of the windows). There was an entry hallway next to the door, and around the corner from that were two built in nicely sized closets. The bathroom was large and had 2 sinks. The positives: Very comfortable bed and couch for TV viewing. Good shower. Linens and bedding at Rosewood levels. Quiet. HVAC worked flawlessly and soundlessly. All the stuff you would expect at this price point. Outside of the room, the front desk staff was gracious and welcoming. The doormen were friendly and extremely helpful, going beyond the call of duty. Those combinations usually mean good management. Like its sister property, The Carlyle, the Rosewood Washington has only a small public sitting area. But I don’t usually worry about that stuff. Cut Bar and Lounge proved to be an excellent venue for extended drinks with successive groups of friends over a 2 and a half hour window. Service was excellent. So, what were my negatives? Overwhelmingly, lighting (or, more correctly, the lack thereof). This seems to be a consistent problem across Rosewood (see my recent review of The Carlyle, and an upcoming review of the Inn of the Anasazi). There were three lamps in the room, all with solid shades (so, light only comes out top and bottom – but those directions were diffused so that light came out softened (and thus, less bright). The bulbs seemed to be the equivalent of the 60 watt incandescent. There was also a single spot that went down on the couch, and a desk “lamp” that was unusable – a tiny bulb that put out about as much light as an LED Christmas tree bulb. So, the desk was worthless as a place to accomplish anything. While the closets had lights in them, there wasn’t enough light in the hallway to really see what you were doing. Oddly, the entryway was delightfully lit (why not carry that lighting into the room?). Happily, the bathroom was well lit, and there were built-in reading lights for reading in bed. During the day, the windows should have provided light, but they suffered from very heavy curtains, that didn’t fully open to allow all the natural light the windows could have afforded to come into the room. I ended up pinning the curtain by the desk up behind the TV/mini bar unit to get more light. The hotel graciously provided a three bulb floor lamp for us, but, while helpful, that didn’t save the room for me. It seems that hotel lighting designers have decided that no one reads anymore, and spends all of their time with their noses in devices or watching TV. They’re probably right, but I’m going to continue to call out hotels that succumb to this “dreary room” trend. Having just come back from Europe, I was pleased to see that this bothersome movement hasn’t made it there. Second problem – very poor service at breakfast, and very slow arrival of food. The place wasn’t busy at all – not enough staff? Food was pedestrian. So, our departure morning we opted to check out early and breakfast at the Centurion Lounge at Reagan National even though the hotel breakfast would have been free. If you don’t care about lighting, then there may be enough for you to be happy here. As for me, I doubt I’ll return. Too bad, I like the location. …

We booked the Presidential Suite several months in advance for a week for a once in a lifetime occasion only to find one week before arrival that the hotel had rebooked us into a Townhouse. After checking in, we learned that the hotel had another kitchen fire and closed the restaurant and several hotel rooms. We were required to move after three days to accommodate another booking. Townhouses were not equipped with basics and even after asking several times staff struggled to resolve issues such as why the refrigerator/freezer, phone and several lights didn’t work. Operating hours for the Penthouse communicated did agree with reality. Townhouses on 31st are awful due to noise on the street. The sound of jackhammers, chain saws, sledgehammers and seeing several rats in patios has been really special. The Rosewood used to be a wonderful hotel.…

Arrived this afternoon, overall disappointed: PROS: Front desk staff was polite and tried to be helpful. Cons: For rate of 630/night the room was cramped and looked out on a wall. We are amex platinum members but always like to book directly with hotel when possible, and we are often rewarded with complimentary upgrades when available. When I saw the room and mentioned this, I was told I should have booked directly with amex (this would have taken away from the hotel’s profit’s so does not make sense for them to encourage that and I was disappointed that my loyalty in booking directly was not appreciated. When I called the front desk, explaining the issues with the room they offered an upgraded room at a cost. Felt very much like bait and switch, the $630/night room looked like a $300/night room. And to be upgraded to a reasonably luxurious room we would have to pay even more, which we did as I did not want to waste all day on it. The pool which was a big part of why we chose to stay at this l hotel was cold- very cold, we didnt even want to put our feet in. When we booked the hotel we were told it was a warm, heated pool, which was not the case. We mentioned this to rooftop staff who said they would look into it. Waiting to hear about that… Lobby is tiny, very “boutique hotel” but without the gracious service of one. Kitchen is under construction because of two recent fires. This construction is happening throughout the hotel, with part of every floor’s hallway blocked off for construction. The restaurant has a very limited menu of basicslly a few raw bar items and salads. Given the construction, the lack of a restaurant, the unreasonably small and claustrophobic room, the fact that we had to pay for an upgrade is simply bad service. First time staying at a Rosewood hotel snd after this experience it will likely be our last. Next time will stay at the nearby Four Seasons. If it were not such a quick trip, would go there now. …

We just had another amazing stay at the Rosewood DC. We were there for our son’s College graduation and the staff made it extra special. Nuria and Sabina in food service are incredible people and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Jorge, Dawit and Desaligh are also incredibly friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to come back.

The Rosewood DC was my first choice for my rehearsal dinner and getting ready spot in the Presidential Suite for my wedding. I met with the sales team to see the space and they were nice and attentive on sight but were delayed in getting me a proposal (they asked me for all the details again because they didn't take notes and then the head guy said he was leaving the hotel and sent me to others who would never got in touch despite me asking.) I decided not to waste anymore time and contacted the Four Seasons who booked my rehearsal dinner with 24 hours and offered me a very favorable room rate. Something is not right at the Rosewood in DC and the lack of attention to detail is not consistent with the quality of the brand. They lost out on some good business.

After reading rave reviews and hearing about this property’s prestige, I was delighted to book a night at the Rosewood. My husband’s 50th birthday celebration was being held only minutes away, so while we reside locally, I thought that reserving the Rosewood Suite would be the perfect addition to an already special day. Unfortunately, we were both left underwhelmed and disappointed. However, before delving into the less impressive aspects of our stay, I’d like to acknowledge two members of Rosewood’s team who left great impressions. The first person is Eric, the bellman who greeted us as soon as we emerged from our car. He was a complete gentleman, having asked about our journey and what our needs would be during our stay. It was a pleasure chatting with him both upon our arrival and departure. The second person is Nuria. Not only did she take our in-room dining requests, but delivered our three meals in the course of 24 hours. She was so very kind-ensuring that the food cart was placed in a convenient area, rearranging our furniture for our comfort while eating, and making several trips for one order. Nuria is an absolute gem, and I am so grateful for her kindness. However, my husband and I were not pleased with Rosewood staff across the board. Well before our check out time, there was a knock at the door. Before I could answer (and within a matter of seconds), the person on the other side (obviously an employee) let herself in. This was despite the privacy indicator that had been set. When she saw that the room was occupied, she offered no apology for “busting into” our space. Instead she nervously pointed to the food tray and said “do you want me to take that?” I was so flabbergasted that all I could say was that we were still eating. She then let herself out. Another issue we had was staff’s lack of information about the property. Because the television didn’t seem to offer Netflix, Hulu or Amazon, I called the front desk to see if there was a way to connect to these platforms. Although I was told that there wasn’t, my husband discovered that each television was equipped with Chrome. I’m so glad that he checked-we actually considered ordering one ourself and having it delivered. Another issue that I had were the telephones. They were cordless, and for some reason they hadn’t been charged prior to our arrival and did not offer a strong connection. Not a huge deal, but was very inconvenient as we had to wait before calling down to the desk (and when we did, they could only hear every other word or so). Lastly, while I appreciate that a hotel is not obligated to go above and beyond, I was very disappointed that nothing was done to acknowledge my husband’s 50th (although it was noted on the account). Our room was certainly not as grand as the Rosewood Suite featured on its website. In fact, the room itself was really a let-down. There was no welcome bottle or HBD treat. Again, I acknowledge that there was no obligation to do so-but I was surprised nonetheless. My husband and I have had many great experiences with hotels in Washington, DC - we enjoy planning “staycations” in the city’s most grand mainstays. Regretfully, we have no plans to return to the Rosewood and can not give it a high rating.…

Great boutique hotel by Rosewood. Right in the heart of Georgetown, this hotel has small but well styled rooms with lovely spacious bathrooms. Robes and sheets are consistent with Rosewood quality. The Wolfgang Puck restaurant CUT Is exceptional. The rooftop is fun with very small plunge pool, bar and gym that meet basic needs. Great views from the roof as well. Service was helpful and friendly but not as polished as some other properties I have stayed at by Rosewood. Television did not offer movies on demand. Bathroom stood out with lovely tub and shower.

Our recent stay at this sophisticated, non-touristy oasis clinched its status as our new go-to hotel in DC. Our room was spacious and attractive, the bathroom featured the best rain shower on the planet, and the staff was professional and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and calm (no easy-listening music or screaming kids). We particularly enjoyed our several interactions with the highly personable concierge Romaine. Not only did he give us great tips about DC, but our shared enthusiasm for international travel led to fun and informative discussions of past and upcoming destinations.
