"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

"With an ultra-modern façade and a waterfront setting on The Wharf, this One-Key hotel presents an escapist, luxe-but-hip aesthetic distinct from the capital's traditional hotels; its contemporary look and atmosphere reflect the sensibility of its parent company, Montage." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The Wharf’s luxe hotel opens up its pretty pool to outside guests for the first time this year, with $80 passes available Mondays to Thursdays (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Cabanas and day beds are exclusively reserved for overnight guests on the weekends. Cool off in the center of the city with frozen cocktails, fruit plates, and other poolside snacks." - Tierney Plumb
"Located on the Wharf waterfront, this family-friendly lifestyle hotel (opened 2022) provides 93 guest rooms and 38 suites, many with picture-window views over the Potomac, plus a rare outdoor heated pool for D.C. standards. The property emphasizes relaxation and leisure with a full spa offering treatments like salt-scrub and hot-stone massages, a moody ground-level bar for cocktails, and a rooftop venue serving Japanese whiskey and small plates such as nigiri and yaki puffs." - Laura Dannen Redman, Nicholas DeRenzo
"Celebrate Easter down at the Wharf with a Veuve Clicquot garden brunch on April 11 from a.m. to 3 p.m. Located on the hotel’s second floor, the spread includes the likes of jumbo shrimp from the raw bar, assorted maki rolls and nigiri from a sushi bar, custom waffles and omelets, and herb crusted prime rib from serving stations. The buffet boasts assorted pastries, mini crab cakes, fresh fruit and berries, and more. Don’t miss the dessert spread of house-made miniature tartlets and English trifles. Guests will also have the option to add on a bottomless Veuve addition. Adult tickets are $145 and children dine for $45." - Vinciane Ngomsi
