This is an exceptional property. The location is great, the staff very professional, and the rooms are not huge, but are very nicely appointed. The breakfast at Moonraker is also excellent. The views were amazing. Highly recommend.
Second time we have been back here and were very excited to come back. It did not disappoint. It has to be one of the best hotels in DC. Has good old fashion personalized service that make all the difference. You can tell by the small touches and quality finishes around you that this is a special place. Highly recommend over any other option.
Huge clean rooms and the best gym I’ve ever been to. Moonraker upstairs had amazing food, and views of many landmarks from balcony. Best hotel, staff was great, valet always on time.
The hotel is beautiful & the staff is extremely accommodating. The only negative is that they don’t have self service ice machines. You need to call room service if you want ice.
Staff were very nice. Room was clean. The bartender was good. I was a little surprised at the pool fee. No one advised us there was a charge to sit by the pool- otherwise we would have sat elsewhere. Perfect location on the Wharf.
The staff at the Pendry was friendly, helpful & accommodating. The front desk was able to accommodate my request for early check-in; the ladies at the spa made my experience stress free & I left relaxed & rejuvenated, thanks to my excellent masseuse. We enjoyed the lovely views from Moonraker where we dined on delicious food which was brought to us in huge portions by our friendly & attentive server. The room was clean & decorated beautifully. The bed was cozy & comfortable which made for restful sleep. I truly enjoyed my weekend stay & will be returning. I highly recommend!
Probably the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in
Absolutely everything was 5 star from arrival and recognising our sons 21st birthday, then fabulous king rooms with a view we would never tire of; the rooftop bar Moonraker took our breath away, the pool is akin to a luxury beach club. Food was delicious; amazing array of drinks and cocktails, staff were consistently helpful & thoughtful, the little extras made it a memorable me experience. Add to all of that the location at the heart of the Wharf with so many bars and restaurants and easy to get into DC and all monuments, attractions etc this was a perfect 3 night stay to end our mini American road trip. Thank you Pendry, we wish you had hotels in Europe; we’re already looking at others you currently have.
The property is in a great location. It is clewan and well appointed although the rroms are very small. The front desk staff was not very welcoming. I mentioned that we were locals but were going to be staying at the Pendry in NYC next montyh and could have cared less I dont think either one of them smilled once. Bell men were friendly. The manager at the pool was fantastic! She was what we are used for a high end property. She was attentive, anticipated our needs and was friendly and kind. Sad to say that compared to the rest of the staff she seemed out of place and should be at a Four Seasons or Aman property. Won't be coming back.
Traveling with a four-year-old… Memorial Day weekend in DC.
The Pendry was perfect.
The staff everywhere worked incredibly hard to please their guests and make things right despite the rain.
And honestly, it is amazing to watch what a very well-mannered four-year-old does to win everyone over. Good manners go a long way, and watching people light up when interacting with a polite kid completely changed the energy and the mood.
