Hotel Bar · Northwest Washington · 41 tips and reviews
Peter R: Great place for a night cap or for quiet drink after work. Pricey but totally worth it
Tammy Gordon: Great spot for a clandestine meeting. Enter through lobby. Door downstairs to left of elevators. Concierge has phone chargers.
Jordan Balderas: Extremely disappointing for foodies or cocktail enthusiasts. Maybe it was an off night. However it may be, it was not the best hotel bar of America.
