Check in was a breeze and the gentleman who helped me was very polite and professional. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. The bathroom (sorry no picture) was large with a separate tub and walk in shower. I ordered room service one morning and it got there much quicker than expected, which allowed me more time to get ready for work so I appreciated the prompt service. The gym was really nice, with a good variety of exercise equipment. The best part of my work out was people watching from the massive window overlooking the wharf! While there are a ton of dining options on the Wharf be sure to try Willowsong, the hotel’s restaurant. Great food and service! (And more people watching depending on where you sit)

Great for business and pleasure. Very family friendly and close to a splash pad for the kids… the rooftop pool is only 3-4 feet deep and a bit small One thing to keep in mind is that they charge a $35 amenities fee which they will explain at check in If you include breakfast with your room it will be A la Carte with a $40 limit per person to your room to be used at the restaurant. It would be nice if they added a Club lounge option PROS : THE STAFF go above and beyond to make sure that everyone enjoys their stay. Cons: Breakfast menu at the restaurant could offer more options especially if it’s Capped at a $40 limit per person

My husband, myself and 2 older children spent a few days in DC to celebrate mine and my son's birthdays. We had an amazing time during our stay, and this location cannot be beat. The Wharf Intercontinental is a beautiful hotel in a great location. We reserved 2 King rooms and while nothing super fancy, they were well-appointed, clean, spacious and offered great views of the river/wharf. My disappointment in the hotel is due to the staff. Most of the staff I encountered were just unfriendly, cold and not very helpful. I feel they could use the same customer service training that the valet and concierge persons had, because they were friendly and warm. As a hotel that touts itself as a luxury property, I did expect the service to match. Of note, we asked for bucket of ice - never got it, then come to find out (when we called again) that we could get our own ice down the hall. The first person we spoke with never mentioned that to us. We were told we would received birthday amenity, we didn't get it until after I reminded management. The outlet was not working in the bathroom in room 433, also the TV streaming did not work in that room. One morning for breakfast service we stood outside waiting to be acknowledged/seated for 10 minutes until I finally walked in and asked someone what to do, to which he told me I just have to wait until the hostess comes back up front. Just overall, not a very luxurious experience. I would try a different hotel next time.
