Historic Building Accommodations
Waldorf Astoria Washington DC occupies the restored Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue. The 263 guest rooms include suites with city views, canopy king beds, walk-in closets, and marble bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers. Some suites feature separate living areas, executive desks, fitness areas, and Nespresso machines. The Waldorf Townhouse Suite spans two stories with a dining room for 16, private entrance, and butler pantry.
Michelin-Starred Dining Options
Sushi Nakazawa serves an omakase menu with nigiri sushi featuring globally sourced fish, emphasizing Japanese varieties. The Bazaar by José Andrés offers Spanish-inspired shared plates with theatrical presentations. Peacock Alley provides classic dishes and afternoon tea service with champagne. In-room dining is available 24 hours, including options like Wagyu burgers, caviar service, and smoked salmon bagels.
Spa and Observation Deck
The Waldorf Astoria Spa includes six treatment rooms, a Himalayan Salt Therapy Room, and private resting cocoons. Services include couple's massages, champagne foot soaks, and botanical body scrubs. The fitness center has Technogym cardio and strength equipment. The historic clock tower offers 360-degree views from the 270-foot observation deck with complimentary admission.
Pennsylvania Avenue Location
Located on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and U.S. Capitol. Within walking distance of the National Mall museums, Washington Monument, and Lincoln Memorial. The Northwest neighborhood includes Smithsonian museums and major government buildings.
Event Spaces and Services
38,000 square feet of event space includes the Grand Ballroom with capacity for 1,300 guests. The Lincoln Library features original woodwork and Abraham Lincoln literature. The Franklin Study offers access to Benjamin Terrace with views of Pennsylvania Avenue. Services include connecting rooms, streaming TV, pet-friendly accommodations, and a business center.
“Housed in the restored Old Post Office, this hotel distinguishes itself with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a comprehensive spa, including a Himalayan Salt Therapy Room; its location provides direct access to major attractions, perfect for exploring. While the architecture and dining stand out, some may find the absence of a pool surprising, given its luxury positioning. It's a distinctive choice for those prioritizing history, high-end cuisine, and spa amenities.”
