Our name is synonymous with one of the biggest scandals in history. However, The Watergate Hotel was controversial from the start. Celebrity architect Luigi Moretti’s curvy design sent shockwaves through conservative DC. But change was in the air (it was the 1960s after all) and the hotel quickly became a palatial playground where actors and models hobnobbed with congressmen and Supreme Court justices. You have arrived at the newest, chicest chapter in this legend’s story. The staff, trained by the former White House social secretary, is poised to create a memorable experience for every guest. The Watergate Hotel is a place where travel is an occasion worth celebrating, gracious and genuine is the standard, and intrigue can be found just beyond every curve.
