The Watergate Hotel

The Watergate Hotel

2650 Virginia Ave NW, Washington, DC
Phone: 1-844-617-1972

Step into The Watergate and discover an urban resort located along the banks of the Potomac River. Here, you’ll uncover a hotel unlike anything in Washington D.C. — a place where modern design blends with an iconic landmark to redefine luxury.

The Watergate Hotel's flowing avant-garde architecture was designed by Luigi Moretti to emulate the mighty Potomac, and its stunning new Ron Arad-designed interior lives up to the building's original elegance. Complementing the hotel's new, modern feel are the retro-chic staff uniforms, made by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant.

The Watergate Hotel takes classic elegance and bold mid-century modern design and adds all of the extravagance and warmth of contemporary luxury. This one-of-a-kind hotel pays tribute to its own storied past, while paving the way for a new chapter to be written.

A limited number of sleeping rooms have been reserved at the discounted rate of $299 single/double per night. There is an additional $25 group fee added per night to help offset the costs of this event. Hotel reservations must be made no later than January 31, 2025, to receive the discounted rate.

Once registered, you will receive a link to book your reservation within the confirmation email.
