Riggs Washington DC

a lovely hotel in the center of Washington DC, with very nice and comfortable rooms. They offered a glass of champagne upon check-in which was very nice. Loved the robes and slippers in the room. Rooms are quiet and well appointed. I loved having a table and chairs that were comfortable. Some suggestions- can the complementary in-room coffee have big cups instead of just the espresso-size cups. I made two and it was still NOT enough. And, can the in-room thermostat work? Mine was turned off and set at 68 degrees. BRRRRR.... And lighting in the room could have been better. Mostly reading lamps that were VERY BRIGHT (which is welcome), but how about a real lamp instead on one of the two bedside tables?

We were there for a short visit to go to the White House. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly from the time of arrival to checkout and anything in between. We will definitely be back! Thank you Riggs!

Review: Banking on Perfection at Riggs Washington DCRating: ★★★★★If you appreciate architecture with a narrative, Riggs Washington DC is arguably the most impressive hotel in the District. Located in the former Riggs National Bank building (once known as the "Bank of Presidents"), this hotel manages to be grand and historic without feeling like a dusty museum. It is bold, colorful, and meticulously designed. The Highlights of the Stay:Design Details: The "bank" theme is everywhere, but it’s done with incredible taste. The minibars are designed to look like vintage safes, and the guest rooms feature "jewel-box" aesthetics with rich velvets and Carrara marble. The "First Ladies" Suites: If you’re splurging, these suites are iconic. Each is inspired by a different First Lady’s personality—the Ida McKinley suite, with its vibrant pink palette and floral accents, is a total standout. Silver Lyan: Located in the original bank vault, this subterranean cocktail bar by Ryan Chetiyawardana is a destination in itself. The vibe is moody, the drinks are experimental, and sitting inside a literal vault adds a layer of "cool" you won't find anywhere else in Penn Quarter. Café Riggs: The ground-floor brasserie is stunning, featuring soaring ceilings and original Corinthian columns. It’s the perfect spot for a "power breakfast" or a late-night martini. Unbeatable Location: You are directly across from the National Portrait Gallery and within easy walking distance of the National Mall and
