The W D.C. Spent Thanksgiving With Obama and a Turkey
How was your Turkey Day? Stay at any hotels this holiday weekend? The turkeys pardoned by President Obama did. That's right. You know all about the Presidential tradition of saving a bird--but did you know that the turkey also gets an all-expenses-paid trip to D.C., complete with a stay at...

Spying on the President From The W DC
We’ve watched the President of the United States from our hotel bed many a time, but that’s usually via the magic of TV. But on a quick overnight stop in DC on Sunday, we found ourselves spying on the White House from our bedroom at the W Hotel. Room...

Can Washington D.C. Handle More W Hotels?
So the W Washington D.C. is officially open after last week’s splashy opening party, and apparently now that the journalists who attended have emerged from their hangovers, we hear there was more than just John Legend, Marie Antoinette look-alikes, and powder-wigged folks working the crowd. Starwood CEO Frits van...

The Congress of Cool is Now Officially In Session (And Probably a Little Hungover)
The W Washington DC opened to guests back in July, and has racked up some pretty partisan reviews ever since. But last night a scene-y DC crowd — the Congress of Cool, if you will — reached across the aisle to join in and play dress-up for the W’s...

The W's 'Congress of Cool' Gets Some Partisan Reviews

First Reviews of the W Washington DC: The Good, Bad, and Ugly

The 'Congress of Cool' Will Convene at W Washington DC Tomorrow

Until tomorrow, that is, when the Congress of Cool will officially convene! Translation: The long-anticipated W Washington DC opens tomorrow and is now even taking reservations. Also opening tomorrow: The W’s...

The 'Congress of Cool' Could Chill on W Washington's Roof Terrace
Cheesy “Congress of Cool” tagline aside, we’d be out of order to understate the anticipation surrounding the summer opening of DC’s first W Hotel. It’s a bubbling-under-the-surface buzz, mind you, but the nation’s capital has waited a long time to welcome a W — er, a W Hotel, that...

W D.C. Opening Pushed Forward, W SoBe Officially Pushed Back
We reported earlier this month that we had a sneaking suspicion (or, you know, a pretty reliable source told us) that W South Beach's opening was pushed back from June 2nd to June 16th, though the hotel's website didn't really reflect that while the rezzie system seemed exceptionally buggy....

Dubya Would Have Liked the J&G Steakhouse Coming to W D.C.

And where more appropriate than the W Washington DC for...

B 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. -
Hanging with friends at The W. Great view of the White House & Monument. -
Free public bathrooms here. Just look confident, not too touristy, and don't ask where the free public bathrooms are. -
To 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!) -
Free bottled water can be located in the gym. -
The glass showers are hot! Love all the welcome agents in the lobby greeting me.
-
Don't buy drinks at the bar. -
POV St Germain cocktail -
Amazing service, beautiful rooms & hip rooftop bar! A must stay if you're in need of a room for the night -
Outstanding view from the bar. Expensive but delicious and heavily poured dark & stromies once you get up there. -
Great space, annoying tourists, expensive drinks. -
Check 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! -
Best view of the city. -
SUper DUper -
Go to the rooftop bar. Reward yourself with a glass of champagne. -
Be here on Thursday! Always a great time (assuming you can get up to the lounges)!
Great chic and Modern Hotel
Well, I had to stay at the dub again for the Congressional Black Caucus convention last week. I checked in on Thursday and the staff even remembers me from the month prior. I had a room with a cool view of 15th street. The bell man was so floored that I handed him a tip because I forgot the last time he bought my boyfriend and I drinks. The roof top was humming and the great thing is I didn’t have to wait in line. I grabbed a seat in side because all of the tables at POV were full. My friend and I had a Dark and Stormy (Yummy) and a long Island Ice Tea. After leaving the hotel to attended some of the evenings events we came back to the hotel and where greeted warmly. The next morning I headed to the state of the art workout room and gave it a go. I love this place. However, tell the local Washington, DC City government to stop killing us on the room tax. Will I stay again? Sure when I come back to DC. This spot is the bomb!
