Pendry Washington DC - The Wharf

23 Best Hotels in Washington, DC, the Nation's Vibrant Capital | Condé Nast Traveler

"Not many DC hotels have their own boat docked out front; this landmark at The Wharf does, its eye-catching modern architecture playing off a riverfront setting that delivers sweeping Potomac views from many rooms thanks to a cantilevered design. A saltwater pool with cabanas and striped umbrellas perches over the water near the Grove’s firepits, while three distinct bars and restaurants layer on velvet, marble, and richly patterned wallpaper; a rooftop gallery wall nods to the city with presidents in off-duty moments (Obama catching a wave). The mix of staycationers, business travelers, and families keeps the vibe lively." - Laura Ratliff
