The staff at The Watergate just amazing. From the moment you step out of your car, every single person said “hello” or “welcome”. We have been at many luxury hotels and resorts, but this will be our ‘bar’ for future stays. The restaurant and Whiskey Bar were fabulous. The room service avocado toast was the best i ever had! Donovan was very helpful and remembered our names after the very first night! 10/10 Will definitely be back!
