Overlooking the Potomac River, the stylish and sophisticated Watergate Hotel in the Foggy Bottom Historical District of Washington, D.C., sits next to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which guests can access through a series of hallways, leaving less than one block of outdoor walking time. Recreational enthusiasts are two blocks from the 1,800-acre Rock Creek Park, where they can hike, bike, skate and jog.
At the Watergate Hotel, guests enter into a lustrous marble lobby with light streaming in through large windows. Washington politicos, dignitaries and stars from the Kennedy Center often dine in the hotel's Aquarelle, popular for dishes including Crispy Texas Gulf Coast Oysters, Roasted Texas Hill Country Quail and Chocolate Intemperance Cake. Cocktails are served at the split-level Potomac Lounge. The Watergate Hotel also features a fitness center, indoor heated pool and spa. Pampering is readily available at Zahira's Hair Salon, which provides hair styling, and manicure and pedicure services.
The 248 guestrooms, some with Potomac River views, feature lush fabrics in gold and white, floral-print drapes, throw pillows, terry robes, safes, high-speed Internet access and designer toiletries. In the 750-square-meter executive suites, French doors separate sleeping areas from living areas, which have sofas, lounge chairs and dining tables for two.
