The Watergate Hotel

Iconic, inimitable, and legendary, The Watergate Hotel stands alone in its design, quality of service, and unique place in American history. Recently reimagined for the 21st century, its dramatic chic, sleek interior — courtesy of Ron Arad — complements period features. The hotel has set a new high standard, from the rippling, copper lobby and the retro uniforms designed by Mad Men’s Janie Bryant, to the luxurious décor of the guestrooms and suites — try the gorgeous new Rose Suite, ideal for bridal showers and afternoon tea parties.
