The Ritz Carlton Georgetown: A Washington DC Retreat
November 17th, 2009During my recent trip to Washington, DC, I had the pleasure of experiencing The Ritz Carlton Georgetown. This luxury hotel is located in DC’s most fashionable neighborhood just steps away fine shops, restaurants and bars.
From the moment I arrived at the hotel, I was immediately impressed with the quick and efficient personable service. It was a chilly evening in Washington, DC, but the hotel’s lobby made me feel instantly homey and warm.
Guests were seated comfortably on large overstuffed chairs enjoying S’mores by a crackling fireplace. I later discovered, during the winter season they have S’mores served every night at 6pm. They even have a “S’moremelier” (an expert on S’mores) on site.
Once I arrived to my room, I was even more pleased. Plush furnishings, a king sized feather bed of heaven with 400 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets and a deep full size bathtub. Not to mention generous and luxurious bathroom amenities to boot!
The rest of my trip was a busy whirlwind of meetings and getting back to the hotel to cozy up and unwind was well anticipated. On the last night of my stay, I dined at their restaurant Fahrenheit, which proved to be quite the gastronomical experience! The seafood salad was unbelievable.
Later in the evening I headed downstairs to the lounge, appropriately named Degrees. This place is definitely a hotspot for after work cocktails. The Kir fraise made with Stoli Razberi, Chambord and Chandon, was delightful!
My experience at The Ritz Carlton Georgetown was wonderful. I highly recommend it- whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, this boutique hotel has it all covered.
