I had a very enjoyable stay at the hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring everything was well taken care of. The on-site French brasserie, Café du Parc, was a particular highlight. Delicious food served by welcoming staff. The only minor issue was the TV placement, which was off to the side rather than in front of the bed, making it less convenient to watch. Overall, a highly recommended experience.

This is an excellent hotel. The staff are attentive and care about you. Front desk staff Kitana went above and beyond. I highly recommend Intercontinental on the Wharf. I can't wait to return. I also enjoyed the Willowsong restaurant that is on the hotel's property. The food is fresh, hot and tasty. The wait staff also are phenomenal. This place is beyond five stars.

A very interesting hotel.. valet and parking is expensive ($75) but it seems to be only a little more than the nearby parking garage, so valet was worth it. At times, it could be busy and getting your car could take a while. Traffic is also busy.Located directly on the wharf, outside of the hotel can be quite busy at peak season. It's location is also prime, next to all the restaurants and such.Rooms were clean and spacious; and service was professional and courteous.Overall, a great stay for what we were looking for!

I rarely write hotel reviews, but this stay truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel, room, and overall atmosphere were wonderful—everything felt clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The location was excellent, right in the Wharf area of DC, with so many great dining options and easy walking access to the heart of the city. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were warm and welcoming. I would absolutely stay here again.
