We took the kids to a civic's trip to Washington. The hotel was absolutely perfect for it. It is located a block from the White House, short walking distance, from the federal triangle, and a view of Capitol on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. The hotel is a true historical landmark and it is an amazing piece of architecture... More

Went for high tea and the service was good. The choice of pastries and open faced sandwiches were fresh with lots of flavor. They were very conscious of the fact that I had mentioned my allergies when making reservations. My daughter loved the tartlet with lemon custard filling with marshmellow on the top. All in all it was a good... More

Our second time at the Willard and again exceeded our expectations. From the valet to front desk to the bar staff, everyone provides great service. We especially enjoyed the irish coffee at the end of the night made just right! Thank you!

The hotel is perfectly located down the block from the Treasury and about 2 blocks from the White House. It is convenient and central to all historical locations in D.C. so you can't beat this location, especially with the Pershing park across the street.

If accommodations are as important to you as the destination, then book your stay at the Willard InterContinental when in DC. The historical aspects of this magnificent hotel alone are worth a visit. The hotel is walking distance to the White House, Jefferson & Lincoln Memorials, all the Smithsonians and the Capitol. Our recent stay at the Willard was beyond... More

Stayed here for a conference with a large party and found the hotel to be of a very good standard, beds comfortable, excellent location and staff (mostly) friendly. The night of our arrival there were no glasses in our room and over the course of the next couple of days this happened another couple of times where we were shortchanged... More

I really is the Crown Jewel of Pennsylvania Avenue. It is located only one block from the White House. Internationally known as one of the best hotels in Washington D.C., The blend of contemporary luxury, historic charm and sustainable hospitality subtly reflects the spirit of the city and to be honest it is only found in Las Vegas Hotels.

I love staying at the Willard. Great sense of history and elegance. Large room with the BEST beds and pillows. Strangely, WiFi is almost $11 a day. Doesn't seem like a big deal, since room ranged about 2 bills/night, but it bugged me. Heating/AC unit was wonky, but cheerfully attended to (although not fixed 100%. Cannot beat the location. Was...

Stayed at the hotel for the Memorial Day weekend. It is an impressive hotel with an impressive history and an impressive location. Just that is probably worth the stay. Of course, there is a "however"... It is a big hotel, so I take that explains that lack of personalized service. Probably. We were there for 4 nights and it felt... More
