"Step foot in our luxury hotel in Washington D.C. and discover an urban resort located along the banks of the Potomac River. Here, you’ll uncover a hotel unlike anything in Washington D.C. — a place where modern design blends with an iconic landmark to redefine luxury."
"This bar inside the refurbished Watergate Hotel could probably coast by on style points alone, thanks to a flashy design involving 2,500 illuminated bottles. But look beyond the surface and find a deep and diverse whiskey list (though it’s mostly geared towards high rollers). The bar also offer flights and pairings called “whiskey siblings” which showcase similar flavors." - Missy Frederick

"Six spooky igloos surrounded by fog will take up residency outside the Watergate’s lobby bar. Themed cocktails include the Jack O’Lantern and the El Diablo, made with dry ice. Look for a candy bike cart parked in the lobby for a trick-or-treat fix." - Tierney Plumb
"The Next Whisky Bar’s sleek mid-century modern design, sculptural furniture, and its home within the storied Watergate Hotel practically scream Mad Men (in fact, staff uniforms are designed by Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant) so make sure to dress and act the part during your visit. Soft amber lighting is courtesy of 2,500 illuminated whiskey bottles, while the menu is grounded in, you guessed it, high-quality scotch and American craft whiskeys. The selection is extensive, so try a flight if you can’t make a decision and don’t forget to complement the entire experience with a rotating selection of cigars." - Vox Creative
