Waldorf Astoria Washington DC
A Pennsylvania Avenue landmark reimagined as a contemporary palace.
An exceptional
escape
Why choose this journey
To stay in a Washington landmark rather than beside the landmarks. Few hotels can bring together, at this level, historic architecture, a Pennsylvania Avenue address, José Andrés–signed gastronomy, and the Waldorf legacy. The property is particularly well suited to travellers seeking a spectacular experience, deeply connected to the capital’s identity.
The location is exceptional: the Waldorf Astoria occupies Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol, in the immediate vicinity of the National Mall, the Washington Monument, and the major Smithsonian museums. The former postal building and its tower overlook one of the most symbolic thoroughfares of the federal capital.
Inside, the spectacular central atrium preserves the monumentality of the historic building beneath an immense glass roof. The rooms and suites are among the most spacious in the city, combining contemporary classic furnishings, lofty volumes, and subtle references to Washington’s institutional history.
The Waldorf Astoria Spa offers six treatment rooms, including a couples’ suite, as well as a remarkable Himalayan Salt Therapy Room. The highly personalised approach to wellness and the relaxation areas create a true haven of calm in the heart of one of the most institutional districts in the United States.
Gastronomy is one of the address’s strongest assets. The Bazaar by José Andrés turns the historic landmark into a theatrical culinary experience, while Sushi Nakazawa brings a Michelin-starred Japanese table. Beneath the atrium, Peacock Alley continues the Waldorf tradition with cocktails, dining, and afternoon tea.
