VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

The upscale Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C. sits on a quiet side street in the heart of Georgetown between the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. It occupies the turn-of-the-century Georgetown Incinerator building and has retained much of the industrial feel, including a red-brick facade, black ironwork and a 130-foot smokestack.

Inside, the place is all about modern comfort. The spacious lobby boasts exposed-brick walls, plush lounge furniture, large windows with dramatic draperies and a wood-burning fireplace.

Guest rooms have beds covered in down duvets, feather pillows and 400-thread-count Frette linens. Floor-to-ceiling windows, some of which have views of the Potomac River, are softened with cheerful gold curtains. You can admire the view at sunrise while donning one of the provided plush robes.

Our Inspector's Highlights

One of the city’s finest and least known retreats is hidden in the Four-Star hotel's basement (which feels more like its own healing world).

Things to Know

While the hotel sits in the heart of Georgetown, you’re a bit off the main street, so expect to walk a block or so to hail a cab, and you’ll likely skip the Metro — it’s about a 10-block walk.
The 86-room boutique hotel is housed in the former Georgetown Incinerator, the property takes its cues from its former resident’s fire past, including Degrees Bistro, The Living Room lobby with its wood-burning fireplace and the intimate Chimney Stack, now a private event space.
The spa and gym are good places to blow off steam, but serious runners should venture out of the hotel and jog along the waterfront.
