Had a quick 3 night stay and it was great as normal. We enjoy the location at the wharf anytime we come to do DC. Hotel is always clean and inviting. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

40th birthday milestone celebration at the InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf. The venue's sophisticated ballroom spaces provided a spectacular canvas for our full-service event production and luxury statement furniture curation. For this viral all-black with pops of ivory utilized our premium plush black velvet chairs and our show-stopping gold geometric mirrored bar and bar back. The venue's layout and professional logistics team accommodated seamless, white-glove load-in. A top-tier luxury destination for private milestones, corporate galas, and VIP experiences in the DMV. Event rentals by Nostalgia Event Rentals.
