Only two blocks from the White House, The Willard InterContinental Washington is Washington’s gathering place, where from the 1850s the world’s elite, politicians, bankers, industrialists, and socialites would meet and exchange ideas in one of the hotel’s famous restaurants or the even more famous Round Robin Bar.

This beautiful luxurious and sophisticated beaux arts hotel was designed by renowned hotel architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh.

It has 12 floors of pure opulence, with elegantly decorated rooms with courtyard views and many classic details but with all the latest modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, desks, and minibars.

Suites also have dining and living rooms. The hotel lounge serves a very popular high tea, and the gourmet restaurant serves seasonal international cuisine. The Round Robin Bar is still a popular gathering place for local power brokers and tourists alike.
