Impeccable customer service. Beautiful property and views of the Potomac River from the room. The hotel is on restaurant row. I recommend walking the wharf just outside the hotel. Also many major sights of interest in DC are nearby this hotel. We will cherish these memories.

Will stay here again
We had a great experience at the Inter Continental. The location was great. We walked to the National Mall, had great food and coffee right outside, and could see the both the Capital building and the wharf from our room. The room was excellent, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom is probably the best.
