Riggs Washington DC

Beautiful property. Easy check in and out. They actually flipped the room after my first night. The bed and linens were lux. I slept like a baby.

Very nice stay overall. The property is in such a gorgeous building. The staff at the entrance and reception were kind and responsive with the exception of the bar. The bartenders were more interested in having conversation amongst themselves than waiting on customers. The room was appointed nicely overall. There was a high quality mattress that was soft but supportive and nice quality fixtures throughout. There were a few design issues: the sink is not in the same room as the shower and toilet. The shower room is so tiny that you struggle to get inside having to get into the shower to get the door shut. The bathroom light switch was then behind the door. The door to the shower stuck a good bit and was cumbersome to open. Finally, there was no cold water and the water was too hot even at the sink. This happened also to my other family member rooms that they booked themselves. We had this conversation during breakfast. The valet service was great for parking and getting car in and out. Breakfast was delicious in the cafe. Only 2 functioning elevators out of 4 so there was quite the backup. Don't expect to get up and down quickly. It is a nice hotel but a solid 4 star, no where near the 5-star rating it has somehow received. It isn't comparable to a 5-star near the white house where we stayed in 2023. It is a nice hotel however, and one I recommend if you want the most central location to museums, capitol, the mall, etc.

Not family friendly

Perfect hotel for families! Hotel was clean, beautifully designed spaces. Amenities were on point. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Food was great. Cannot beat the location! Near major points of interest and metro lines. Will definitely stay here again.

We loved Riggs. It was convenient and within walking distance to pretty much everything. We didn’t have our room cleaned the whole trip (our choice) but they were great and speedy about bringing us what we needed ie towels, toilet paper. The bathroom is odd; door doesn’t open all the way and you basically have to squeeze between door and toilet to just get in and out of the shower. We managed but not ideal for everyone or if dealing w kids in there. Honestly think that’s the only negative.

The property has a unique feel being an old well appointed bank. There is tons of beautiful marble and is beautiful inside. The best part of our stay was the extremely friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely recommend this facility to friends and family.

Our family enjoyed our DC stay at the Riggs. Rooms were well appointed, clean and comfortable. The hotel is centrally located to most tourist sites and the Metro. Desk staff and concierge service were extremely helpful securing museum passes and dinner reservations that made our trip more enjoyable and stress free. Highly recommend and would stay again!

I stayed at the hotel for two nights for a business trip, and it was terrific. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful all of the time. The room was clean, comfortable and very quiet. I slept like a baby. And the neighborhood was great--convenient to the metro and a lot of shops and restaurants, but not so crazy busy. I would definitely stay here again.

Geeat staff..very nice room .i love the classy vintage vibe with clean lines and a modern twist.. Very special time for my family..

Stayed for 4 nights in June 2022. Hotel service was excellent and friendly. Property condition was great. Was a little lagging sometimes when we needed ice brought to the room. Rooms were very nicely appointed. The one big thing that keeps me from rating this all “tops” is that the room we had was very small (esp for two adults and a 5 yr old) and there was no bureau or draws to put our clothes in. The sink was also pedestal style with only sparse room around the edges for our toiletry stuff. The restaurant was great. I would consider staying here again if just me (not family) and only for a couple nights. Having to keep all our clothes in suitcases and no bathroom vanity space was a little tough for 3 people for 4 nights.
