APANovember 15, 2014Head to the roof and enjoy the cocktails/views. Better in the warmer months, but it's still a nice (and heated) view during the other times of the year. Try the Marion Berry ;)
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014The hotel's rooftop terrace provides some of the best views of the White House. Sit on the main lobby's red patent-leather chairs and zebra-print ottomans, where DJs spin house music on weekends. Read more
AstraMaleeAugust 22, 2011The elevators have three different images of Washington & Martha being very flirtatious in courtship and their lobby is ultra chic! The Bliss employees downstairs are super sweet as well.- APANovember 15, 2014Head to the rooftop and enjoy the view and upscale atmosphere. More fun when it's warm out, but it's still a wonderful atmosphere (and heated) during fall/winter!
I stay here a lot and in general I like it, the rooms are fine the gym is good, the bars and food are also good. Only problem I find is the turnover in staff, very few seem to stick around for long.
GoLacey GoDecember 14, 2014One of the most stunning W hotels we have stayed in! No cool pool running through it, but the historic value is there. Very well kept & staff is friendly!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yera HaJuly 20, 2015The front desk could use a little work, but room service was fantastic and the views can't be beat.
Chicky HernandezAugust 10, 2018Really loved this place, it’s really beautiful and the views are amazing. Definitely coming back. 👍🏼
CherylSeptember 7, 2014At very least get a spectacular room w/ exterior view. Great location. Downstairs always filled with people. Staff mostly friendly, helpful. Biz center was a bummer while I was there👎 No paper 2x!!😒
Steve PolandApril 14, 2019Bob McKenzie: After dinner, finish it off with a drink at POV, the rooftop bar in the W Hotel. If it’s a nice night, great view(s).
Rico EppsAugust 19, 2014The rooftop views are incredible especially at night. It gets a little crowed at night but the atmosphere is very urban chic. The rooms are small but the location is great.
Hal MackinsMarch 14, 2016A great scene, but make sure you're not placed any higher than the eighth floor, otherwise you'll be hearing the bass from the superb rooftop bar all night long!
Charles BaltimoreJune 27, 2017Run Don't Walk Here! Best Rooftop Bar Anywhere. View from Washington Monument to The Whitehouse. The drinks are worth the view.
Melinda JacksonJuly 16, 2015LOVED MY STAY HERE! Amazing attentive staff. Great gym. Great rooms. Great bars on site. Can't say enough nice things
Taste and See ™December 30, 2012Great bar in the lobby, wonderful rooms and a sweet view of the skyline from the rooftop bar. Always feels super swanky in here. Read more
Travel + LeisureJanuary 4, 2013With a sceney rooftop lounge overlooking the White House, the W brand managed to inject nightclub-meets-Wonderland flair into what had been a lackluster hotel.
Angela McClendon JohnsonMarch 19, 2010Check out the Rooftop Bar. Amazing view of the skyline and White House. Drink selection is OK, but the atmosphere is chic and mucho swank-a-licious! Business types of all kinds come here to unwind!
Nate SkinnerMarch 20, 2013Right in the heart of some of the best sight seeing in DC - literally across the street from White House!
Ayman SirajMarch 19, 2016Went to the POV rooftop bar. It's a chill and happening place even at 1pm in the afternoon.
IT Roadmap Washington, D.C. - December 6, 2012December 16, 2011Stay here and attend IT Roadmap Washington, D.C. - a regional one-day technology event that features a full-day conference program, and an expo.
The rooms are small but the service is more than adequate and the rooftop offers a really cool view of DC and northern Virginia
Megan Pagado WellsJuly 26, 2010To get in the door, say you only want to get to the lobby bar. Then get yourself a drink, enjoy the music and wait in the line to go up to the POV lounge. (The view is amazing!)
Awesome rooftop bar, one of the best places for a drink near the White House
Yao OdamttenNovember 12, 2010B fashion 4ward & confident! Get past the elevator nazis w ipads 2 the "always booked" POV. Don't b pressured by pushy waiters. Not 4 over-priced drinks. Get YOUR seat & soak in unparalleled views.
Call ahead and reserve a table on busy nights. Ask for a table with a view inside if it's cold. Emme raves about the S'mores drink.. Read more
Sophie ChungJuly 21, 2013This is swanky stuff. Dress properly if you plan on going to the rooftop! They kick out flip flop wearers.
E NelsonApril 19, 2010Amazing service, beautiful rooms & hip rooftop bar! A must stay if you're in need of a room for the night
Gerry AApril 6, 2012If you're hungry in the middle of the night, you can grab a quick bite at the Hamilton across the street
Amanda GApril 15, 2013Bathrooms are located on the lower level. Good place to stop if you're sightseeing and need a place to rest.
Andrew WanjohiSeptember 2, 2012Love the view and the bar scene is amazing over looking the whitehouse
rooms = cozy-cozy. Bliss products everywhere. fast wireless. great service at this hotel—except for in the restaurants (food's good, tho).
NBC PoliticsJune 14, 2012On June 13, 2012, President Obama held a fundraiser here for the Obama Victory Fund. Get your wonk on at
If you like a quiet room ask for the "42" series. Bigger baths and rooms, no view but super quiet and roomy.
Gitika AhujaAugust 20, 2011Great wow suite on the 3rd floor w views of Washington monument and treasury!
The music from the rooftop lounge is so damn loud you wouldn't be able to rest well.
Joe SchneiderApril 25, 2013Here's a tip for the hotel. Clean the rooms daily. They made the bed but left crumbs and empty bottles and water
