Some hotels are just places to sleep — The Watergate Hotel is a story you get to live in. Rising inside the iconic Watergate complex on the banks of the Potomac, this five-star landmark turns one of the most famous addresses in America into a glamorous getaway.



Location is everything here. In Foggy Bottom, the hotel sits steps from the Kennedy Center, the Georgetown waterfront, and the National Mall. Many rooms come with private balconies framing postcard views of the Potomac River.
The star of the show is Top of the Gate, the rooftop bar with sweeping city views that locals love as much as guests do. Inside, mid-century style meets modern luxury, with a spa and indoor pool made for total relaxation.
It is perfect for history buffs who want to stay inside the legend, couples chasing sunset cocktails with a view, and travelers who collect one-of-a-kind stays.
