My wife treated me to a birthday staycation this weekend, and I am so glad she did! I've visited Pendry before for a Yelp event at the pool, but staying here was a completely different experience--and it was absolutely top-tier. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was impeccable. All I wanted for my birthday was a relaxing weekend, and Pendry delivered exactly that. My wife knew how much I needed some time to unwind, and with the help of the amazing staff, this birthday was everything I hoped it would be. Our suite was stunning. The photos truly don't do it justice! We had a beautiful view overlooking the pool, and the room felt more like a luxury apartment than a hotel room (minus the stove ). Everything was spotless, the bedroom was spacious, and the shower was hands-down one of my favorite parts of the entire stay. A special thank you to Jarae and the staff for the thoughtful birthday card and delicious dessert. Those little touches made my celebration feel even more special. While you're there, be sure to check out Bar Pendry, Moonraker, and the spa. And don't leave without picking up one of their soaps, candles, or body washes--you'll definitely want to take that signature Pendry scent home with you! Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations in every way. Between the beautiful accommodations, outstanding service, and thoughtful birthday surprises, Pendry earned a 1000/10 from me. I can't wait to return! read more

It's just okay. I usually stay at Conrad or Intercontinental. Decided to use my Amex FHR benefits here and I am glad I got the credit because it's not worth full price. I thought it was luxury but it's not. It reminds me of Thompson brand actually just modern boutique with upscale touches but lacks attention to detail. Love their pool deck. Everything else is just okay. Bed was comfortable though and staff were friendly and tried to be serviceable. Like the accent lighting in room. Tiny rooms tiny bathroom with only 1 sink. Toilet closet is also small and claustrophobic. Wallpaper in hallways by elevator coming apart. When we got to our room there was bug crawling on our ceiling above the bed; took a while for cleaning ladies to come get it and they screamed and giggled as they tried to kill it. There was also one stuck on ceiling looked like a dead crushed gnat she tried for 3 seconds to get it off with her rolling tool and couldn't and left it there. Floor had crumbs and walls had food and makeup stains. Just not luxurious at all. I also do not recommend from a FHR standpoint. We were unable to get in our room early as the advertised noon checkin. I even asked if anything other than our upgraded room was available to get in room sooner and was told no. We arrived at 130 and didn't get in until 345ish. Before getting our room keys in addition to the original 200.00 incidental charge at check in, they charged my card for incidentals multiple times while we waited for the room to be ready and no one could explain why. I asked for manager and he immediately reversed the additional over 400.00 in overages. My card was charged again after that for something else so please watch your cards if staying here. Included with Amex FHR program, you do get 70.00 towards breakfast and a 100.00 credit and I hope there is no confusion at check out. It seems there may be so I am skeptical to use it. More charges hit my card after speaking with manager over 800 in automatic system security deposit charges no one can explain. Unacceptable. Also bathrooms on first floor at night were disgusting not clean at all poop in toilets tissue all over stall floors and ceiling was leaking had a bucket of water in middle of bathroom by sinks. read more

Excellent views. Checking took a while. Small lobby by the bar. Breakfast was not bad. They have a small buffet. Service at the restaurant was slow. But the staff was nice. read more

We came for the Second Sunday Series and had a great time! There weren't quite enough pool chairs available, but the complimentary drinks definitely made up for it. The service was excellent, and we really appreciated having plenty of shaded areas to relax out of the sun. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable experience, and we'd definitely come back! read more

Pendry at Washington DC was so lovely. We had such a relaxing and wonderful stay. The moment you walk in the staff is so friendly and kind. They offered my children stuff animals and even a drink. They made sure we got late check out and a room with a view of the pool and water. I love that it is a convenient location. We were right in front of our dinner location and we were able to walk around at night after dinner. The pool service was amazing. They made sure they took care of us the whole time we were there. All their drinks were delicious too. We got breakfast with our stay and it was a lovely breakfast with a nice view. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for one at the wharf. read more

**BOOZY TEA REVIEW** We really enjoyed the Saturday tea at Bar Pendry! It's pricey but it's less than a lot of other high teas in the area actually. The boozy tea infusions were delicious and we enjoyed getting to try three types. The scone was fluffy and marvelous. Among the savory bites and desserts, we had varying opinions on which were best, but none was BAD. They change up the menu seasonally so I would love to go back and try a different arrangement in the future. read more

*This review is for Bar Pendry* Looking for afternoon tea in the DMV look no further than the boozy tea at Bar Pendry, located inside of the Pendry hotel at the Wharf. Once again, thank you Instagram for introducing me to another fun thing to do in the city! My friend and I made a reservation for a Saturday afternoon and were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived. Hotel staff directed us to Bar Pendry and once seated the menus even had a personalized welcome message! We were given 3 different types of tea (a mix of hot and cold) and a mixture of savory and sweet treats. Of course some were better than others but it's nice have a large sampling to pair with your tea. Plus, if you want to add additional cocktails on beyond your tea you have that option - which other tables did partake in! Overall service was great, ambiance was great, and the tea was delicious! It's not the cheapest afternoon activity but it's a nice change of pace for meeting up with a friend from the typical restaurant or bar. Plus, it's located at the wharf and there are plenty of additional options for fun before or after the tea sitting. Although I may not come back for tea in the immediate future, I would definitely come back for the bar itself. I can see why it's so highly rated! read more

This review is for Bar Pendry - not the hotel. Boozy afternoon tea is such a whimsy way to do brunch with the girls! We were fortunate enough to score the back room seating, which was intimate and allowed for a bit more privacy. The service was good, but they really didn't come around between tea offerings, which would have been nice since they said we could have a refill. If you don't like one of the three teas offered you can sub it out with another. The bites were delish. I loved the chicken liver moose pate and all of the desserts. read more

I loved my visit here! I booked a stay for a wedding for my brother and this was the best location and hotel. I was able to experience a luxury staycation that included all the small details! The view was beautiful in the day and nighttime. The room was huge and was made to feel comfortable. I was made to feel like I was the only guest! Amazing, I definitely want to have another stay. read more

Beautiful hotel in The Wharf. You are steps away from restaurants, bars and beautiful scenery. The beds are quite comfortable and the shower has incredible water pressure. Edgar, one of the bellhops who greets you is really the star of the show! He goes above and beyond to be helpful and is a pleasure to have conversations with when he isn't busy. You can tell he loves his job and the people. read more

Let me start off by saying the 4 stars is only because the parking at the Wharf too dang on high. I could have valet parked but after tip the price whould have been the same. I should have valeted, I love front door service. Next time! I ventured to the Pendry for an earlier afternoon Boozy Tea. I was very excited since it took months to get reservations. The experience did not disappoint. We were on the first seating at 12 noon right when the Bar Pendry opens. The host/bartender/ server greats you at the bar and escorts you to your already set table. They briefly go over the menu and your three tier sweet and savoy arrangement comes out. Each tier has a tea cocktail with a different spirit that pairs perfectly with it. I enjoyed everything and boxed up my portion of the sweets because I just couldn't eat anymore. The bar is beautiful with a Great Gatsby appeal. A lot of velvet and dark colors with gold trim everywhere. We stayed after tea to enjoy a selection from the bar menu. I love when the drinks come in the round martini glasses, it makes you feel extra fancy and delicate. Service was amazing. The staff was super friendly and readily available. They wanted to make sure you enjoy your time there. I enjoyed myself. Pop in for a fancy sip or make plans to don a fancy hat and sip on some tea. Either way you will not be disappointed. read more

This is a fantastic alternative to traditional afternoon tea! This experience is located at Bar Pendry DC within the Pendry Hotel. And It comes with 3 separate tea cocktail concoctions that correspond with each tier of the crumpet spread. And the food was tasty and delicately prepared with very fine attention to details. The service is attentive and elegant. And you have the option to order food (small bites) and drinks from the bar menu. The hotel and the bar is stylish and sexy..with velvet curtains, sleek lines, and low lighting. This is a fantastic experience for an elevated but very modern tea outing...and I highly recommend. pro tip: parking is a non issue!! there's a garage attached to the hotel and valet parking is $35 (for up to 3 hours). Fyi: this tea is pricey..and gratuity and tax are included in the price. But its worth a try!! read more

Came for boozy afternoon tea and we really loved our experience! I've been wanting to go to moonraker, and after our time at tea we will definitely be back! There's three courses for the tea. First tea is paired with the scones, which were delicious! The maple scone was unique and the original was perfect with the cream. The second tea was for your finger sandwiches. All really yummy, but loved the avocado toast the most. Had a nice kick to it! Third tea was for the desserts. Desserts were woah, amazing. Decadent and delicious. The yuzu strawberry tart was my favorite. Couldn't finish them all and wish I were able to take them home. How do I order them just because? Seriously so good! The teas were very nice, two cold ones and a warm one. First two were my favorite. I will say that the seats can be a bit uncomfortable. No backs which can be tough to sit on for 2 hours. And then because no backs, no place to put our jackets. We laid our jackets on the floor, not really classy for the Pendry Definitely something cute and fun to do with the girlies! read more

Excellent hotel experience. Everything about this hotel was amazing. The location is on the Wharf, in the middle of so many food and entertainment spots and you can take the water taxi to national harbor which is where shopping locations are. The airport is 15 mins away and so is the national mall. We could see the Pentagon from our room. The hotel has a fantastic swimming pool with a hot tub. It also has a full spa including a very nice gym with water filling stations. Other than the late night menu, the hotel menu is really good (smash burger). The price was super competitive. We happened to go during Pride so all the prices were higher. Overall, this will be my new first choice for DC trips. read more

Such a beautiful property! I love pretty, beautifully adorned hotels, and Pendry fits the bill! Both valet and check-in were smooth. When you check-in, you receive a "code word" to receive a complimentary cocktail at the connected bar. I didn't care for the cocktail, so the bartender was accommodating and gave me a shot of Casamigos Reposado (already winning!). My room was spacious. I loved the black doors and the gold hardware. The mini-bar was fully stocked with premium spirits and the refrigerator had sparkling and still water. My room also had a nice view of the pool. Later in the evening, I was a bit hungry. The room service staff accommodated my want for sushi from the hotel's roofrop restaurant, Moonraker. I really appreciated that they allowed me to order sushi from Moonraker even though the menu was not a part of the in-room dining menu. Kudos! All-in-all, I thoroughly enjoyed my staycation at the Pendry. I will definitely visit again! read more

Review for boozy Saturday tea: 1. The atmosphere of the bar and tea area is very swank. Velvet couches. Curtains. Nice lighting. Lush colors. Groups had enough space to not feel on top of each other. 2. The food choices are delicious. 3 courses of small bites (as in a singular bite size piece) on a tiered tray. paired well with the drink choices. Particularly enjoyed then smoked salmon & the pumpkin whoppie pie. You won't get full. But it's a nice snack. Think like an appetizer. Might want to eat a real meal beforehand. Idk if they offer a nut-free or allergen friendly menu but that might be something to keep in mind because each tier of options had something with nuts. 3. Service was AMAZING. Jordan was knowledgeable, attentive, and very kind in every interaction. She went above what we expected. I've been to the bar for regular service a few times and I can say it consistently has some of the best service in that area. 4. The "teas" are cocktails served in pretty tea glasses. My favorite was the "what's the tea". Matcha was hit or miss with our group. Think you need to be a matcha fan for enjoy it. Suggestion - maybe add real teas as options / mocktails - have a "nut free" menu option. This might already exist but if it doesn't I wanted to make the suggestion. read more

Stop in this hotel bar for drinks while we waited for dinner was an absolute treat. The bartenders were excellent with great service and energy. They definitely worked well together. The bar was packed but, we were able to find two seats together. We were celebrating our anniversary and the bartender advised me on the best drink for the aesthetic along with the best picture perfect accent. They had bar nuts available to munch on with a small plate meal options. I will definitely be back again soon and hopefully I will be able to enjoy a night stay. read more

A beautiful property close to the museums and national mall, yet out of the fray of DC. It was a delight to return to each evening. Perhaps the most attentive hotel service we have ever experienced. I was not familiar with the wharf development previously but am unlikely to stay elsewhere in the future. Lovely views and sunsets each evening. read more

I love this location for summer staycations. The pool is what draws me here. It's the best in the DC area because of the aesthetics, design, the pool is heated, and the way it sits in the middle of the wharf. It feels like it's tucked away in Cali. Definitely gives oasis vibes. Staff is friendly! I just love the warm welcomes. DC hotels are missing hospitality and Pendry hotel makes up for it. I hope it remains the same. read more

Review for the Boozy Afternoon Tea. Overall I enjoyed my experience, service was good- they timed the teas well and i appreciated the descriptions at each tea/course. They served 3 different tea cocktails in gorgeous glassware with each drink corresponding to a tier of snacks on the tea stand. The bar area was lovely but the AC was out, which the waitress did warn and apologize to us for. It was pretty warm, especially after the final drink which was a hot beverage- they then brought a complimentary glass of bubbles, maybe as a token of apology. Nice gesture! I think the drinks could have either been a little stronger or there should have been a larger serving to make it more cost-worthy, and i'd go with the latter to not compromise the taste because all three offerings were delicious. The scones were really good and i typically don't like them. My favorite snack was between the avocado bruschetta or the pâté/asparagus bite. Because of the warm environment, the opera cake had melted to the stand making it harder to grab and the key lime tart base had gotten soft. The sweets were all well-executed. Good experience to try, even if only once.. read more

The Pendry Washington DC was a great night vibe to celebrate birthday shenanigans with my Sister in Love! It was a wonderful weekend of fun and joy with great drinks and food! I must say, anytime I come to DC...it's a vibe! It's my home and I love EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT! The music was great, the food was amazing and our service was bomb! We also dropped by the night my son and his fiancé was engaged and we made a trip back..I must say, there were no regrets! Anytime you're in the area, stop by Pendry Washington DC...it's a hoot! Until next time...like, share and follow! ~Cheers! read more

I came here for a staycation and to try some of the restaurants on the wharf. The location is amazing because you never have to leave the area if you prefer to hang out in the hotel or on the wharf. GLOWS: - Amazing view from the room- we booked the corner view. Hotel was aesthetically pleasing. - My thermostat was locked and someone from maintenance came right away to support. - They provided me with a complimentary extended check-out which was greatly appreciated -The pool area, lobby bar, and gym were nice amenities. I didn't get to try the roof top bar because it was all booked up. GROWS: - Valet is very expensive. With an already expensive room, it's just hard to cope with spending $75 a night for parking and it not being complimentary/reduced. - We ordered breakfast for room service and it was just okay overall. It didn't match the price, and the oats were very dry. - At check in it would have been nice for staff to help with making reservations to the bar. I didn't even think there would be an issue with getting a seat at the bar of the hotel I'm staying in, so a heads up would be nice. read more

We were glad to be able to hang out here while waiting to get off the waitlist for Moonraker. Had a few snacks. Really loved the idea of the lobster corn dog-- it wasn't super lump meat so it doesn't seem like it was picked fresh from the lobster and fried with the batter, but I still liked the traditional corndog batter over this new concept. The sauce and small slaw it came with paired nicely. I REALLY loved the seasonal butternut squash soup. It was textured, not too sweet (my husband said he wished it was sweeter but I prefer a more savory soup). The dill, pumpkin(?) seeds, and light dusting of spices was perfect for a chilly night. It is definitely one of the best butternut squash soups I've ever had. I didn't have any drinks but my husband had the Old Fashioned with his choice (Michter's) and the bar selection was really good. Definitely a good spot to hang out, although it is small. The bartenders were really friendly and easy going too. We will be back. read more

Hotel location at DC's Wharf was ideal. Hotel rooms and overall feel can he described as "modern elegance". Overall staff friendly and attentive, however a few disappointments.

If you're looking for a luxurious stay in a fantastic neighborhood, this might be the perfect choice! The Pendry stands up wall against its competition in this segment. Our room was quite nice, clean and well appointed. Suffering one flaw,... a very slippery shower floor as it is made of a flat marble with no grooves or etchings for traction. The staff were always ready to help and were on point. We took a quick run up to the Moon Raker bar atop the building, great views, the service was speedy and executed by excellent staff, which speaks of their professionalism as the bar was packed. We will return to the Pendry next time we are running around DC, which is something we do occasionally, only now we have a hotel we really like. read more

Although we had some high expectations for the Boozy Tea at the Pendry we left thinking it was okay. The tea presentations were pre-made. Each in their own kettle. One pour per person. Never stirred prior to serving so the balance just seemed to be off. Interesting that the chamomile tea that was supposed to be served chilled, was room temperature. The savory choices were good, the sweet were very, very sweet. The bar itself is comfortable, lush and intimate. Definitely would return for cocktails. read more

This hotel is in a great location. Located right in the middle of The Wharf. The rooms are pretty nice but cozy. The views were even more amazing looking over the water.

Had boozy tea here recently and to be honest I was underwhelmed. I probably should've done more research first- I thought the tea was going to be on the rooftop level, it is on the lobby level (no view). Food id give a 1 star. Another star for ambience and another star to be nice. I wouldn't do it again. read more

Having been to DC well over 100 times over the last three decades, this trip was not for Business, but for family and as such, I did not want to stay in the core and chose this property for being on the wharf in a way from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Outstanding new facility, beautiful rooms, outstanding views, but most impressive the staff everyone from the doorman the receptionist, the folks in the bar all were incredibly attentive and delivered. My only complaint was the door to the toilet, it was quite a feet to be able to get into a bathroom, toilet and close the door, but I don't think anything can be done to correct this and I suspect different rooms have better access. read more

So I did the cherry blossom boozy brunch with one of the other reviews on here and an definitely a fan. I actually thought it was completely worth the price, especially considering tea at a lot of other places is normally nearly twice as much with no booze. I especially like that the experience was set up in a way that allowed us to try all the teas instead of choosing just one like you would at a lot of other places. Same with the food and the overall esthetic was also unique. Would definitely recommend going. read more
