Housed within a converted industrial building in Georgetown, this Ritz-Carlton feels notably more intimate than many of the brand’s larger city hotels. Brick details, a discreet entrance and a lobby anchored by a fireplace give the property a residential mood. Guest rooms and suites are calm, spacious and well suited to longer stays, while the neighbourhood setting is a major strength. Georgetown’s boutiques, restaurants and waterfront are within walking distance, with Washington’s museums, monuments, embassies and political landmarks a short drive away.
