The property is gorgeous, strategically located close to everything and a beautiful view of the marina from the tenth floor. Only one complaint we dined in the restaurant. The food took an incredibly longer than usual time to arrive at our table. The saving grace was the food was excellent and that made things right. I really can’t blame the waiter. I just believe they were short staffed and they were probably short staffed in the kitchen as well . The front desk staff was professional as well as the valet &doorman . Highly recommend this hotel, but don’t go and get a meal unless you have a minimum of two hours to kill

I was reimbursed for my stay which was very kind however for a 5 Star Hotel this is lacking. Day one electric went off in the room on two separate occasions. The toilet flush also did not function correctly. You pay for breakfast as part of the deal of the hotel. Laundry arrived back late, meaning my partner had to wear dirty clothes until the late laundry arrived. We tried ringing for room service. No answer, then tried the front desk, again no answer. We attempted for over 1 hour on New Year’s Eve and neither picked up. On arrival I asked are there any hidden fees I need to be aware of? I was informed no, yet they placed on an amenity fee of $30 per day amounting to $270 for our stay. This was removed when I complained and I was reimbursed for the troubles with the room however for a Hotel with such good standing it spoiled a holiday for partner and I

Will stay here again

We had a great experience at the Inter Continental. The location was great. We walked to the National Mall, had great food and coffee right outside, and could see the both the Capital building and the wharf from our room. The room was excellent, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom is probably the best.
