We had a fantastic stay at the InterContinental for our anniversary. The room was spotlessly clean, but what truly made the celebration special was our server, AJ; he was incredibly attentive and helpful, making our anniversary dinner memorable. Excellent service and high standards all around!

I really love this hotel. I travel a lot for work and see a lot of hotels. Everything is really well maintained and the rooms are like brand new. The check-in staff is very friendly as are the other staff. I’m here to sleep because I’m burnout and needed a small getaway.I really like the room because it’s quiet, tastefully appointed and big. I have a river view. I really like the bathroom because it has both a shower with an adjustable showerhead (so I don’t have to get my hair wet if I don’t want to) and a bathtub behind the door. It has a side chair with ottoman and a desk too. But the room is so big two adults could easily fit this room even with their bags and the extra furniture.It’s April so I had the rooftop pool all to myself. The water was warm, but not too warm after walking 8 miles in a day. Perfect way to end the day. Rooftop has a view of the Jefferson and Washington memorials as well as the planes coming into DCA and the boats puttering along on the river. It’s very relaxing.There are tons of nice restaurants nearby with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating along with lots of happy hour choices. I highly recommend this hotel.
