Review

Tucked on a charming street just off of Georgetown’s bustling M Street, the Rosewood puts its guests in the heart of one of DC’s most appealing neighborhoods. The five-story brick building, which formerly housed the American Trial Lawyers Association, was gutted and glammed up to the tune of $50 million by interior designer Peter Silling. As guests enter the gleaming marble foyer, they see the sleek Rye Bar that has quickly become a neighborhood hot spot. A living room reserved for hotel guests sits behind glass doors and is where check-in occurs. A drinks caddy, dramatic floor-to-ceiling onyx fireplace, and couches surrounded by bookshelves and contemporary art create a feeling of intimacy and comfort as would be found in a private club, albeit a super stylish 21st century one.

Many of the hotels 49 rooms (twelve of which are suites) overlook the historic C&O Canal. All were designed to feel more residential than your typical hotel room with decorative details that you might find in a nearby townhouse like antique parquet wood floors (from a European castle), chandeliers and contemporary artwork. Even the smallest rooms are an ample 425 square feet, and the marble bathrooms all feature large soaking tubs, rain fall showers and Aqua di Parma toiletries. No room is exactly alike but all have places for working or lounging. While the superb concierge team reaches out in advance of a stay to offer help with reservations, transfers or rental cars and are on standby throughout a visit twenty-four seven, many of the things you might need them for are taken care of in advance like complimentary wifi and laundry pressing for up to five garments. Though the hotel only opened in 2013 and has recently transformed to the Rosewood, it has quickly gained loyal regulars who consider it a sublime home away from home in DC.

Who Should Stay

Travelers who want a chic retreat in Georgetown with a cozy yet luxurious feeling but more intimacy than the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.
