Prior to our October 2012 stay, I read so many mixed reviews on here about noise, security, etc at this location. Needless to say, it was perfect from check in to check out. We are Gold members of the SPG program and we had 2 rooms for the weekend. We were meeting up with friends and we are all in... More

Having never been to DC, I was delighted by the team. I was given running directions that gave me an iconic route, a recommendation to a great spot for oysters and taxidermy, and possibly the best outdoor bar i've been to. POV was lively, bursting with energy, great sips (love the Dark and Stormy) and amazing service. The decor of... More

Everything about my experience at the W Washington was stellar -- the supreme location, the eclectic mix of new and old, the soft indirect lighting in the rooms, the forever smiling and "above and beyond" W staff, the bars, the check-in champagne, the restaurant - EVERYTHING made for a newly flawless "staycation" for my daughter and me. This is such... More

We booked a fantastic suite so we could have guests in our room before our evening festivities and its a perfect room for entertaining. Fun decor and great views. A festive location for a bachelorette party. Lunch on the roof deck was fun way to soak up the city.

Upgraded on check-in to a room on the tenth floor with a decent view of the White House. The rooms are modern and well furnished - usual W standards but with little sign that this is an older building. Gym is good (and open 24 hours) if a little small. Service great throughout. Stung for a charge for having a... More

We'd read the reviews and knew what to ask for: room with Treasury view, sink in the bathroom, coffeemaker in room (with coffee and cups), etc. (We were using points for a free night) etc. Got all that- and room had great view. Yes, a little small, but better than I expected. We really liked having refrigerator in the room.... More

I have been traveling for 5 years staying in a hotel from Sunday-Thursday and this is by far the worst hotel experience that I have ever had.

In many respects the W Washington is like most other W properties - a "cool" lobby with chic decor with piped in new-age music, a spectacular rooftop bar, helpful staff and small rooms. You certainly can't beat the location. The W is right across from the Department of Treasury building and one block from the White House. Whether you're in... More

Sometimes "best" gets thrown around willy nilly... but the staff at the W bring a professional familiarity that is so refreshing in an American hotel. I feel at home here and the staff and the view from POV is simply the "best"
