    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.

    Boozy tea

    **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.

    *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!

    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.

    Afternoon boozy tea
    Ericka S.

    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.

    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.

    boozy afternoon tea spread

    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!!

    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!

    Great atmosphere and drinks. I've been in quite a bit and the drinks/service are always great. Deviled eggs are good too for a snack.

    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!

    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.

    Boozy afternoon tea option "what's the tea"
    Dee Renè L.

    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.

    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.

We recently stayed at the Salamander in Washington, DC, and I can confidently say it deserves every bit of its reputation for luxury and comfort. From the moment I stepped outside of the uber, staff were amazing! Bellmen were there to open my door and allow me out. They gave me a helping hand while exiting the SUV. The hotel inside is beautiful, the atmosphere felt calm, elegant, and intentionally designed to make you relax. The lobby alone sets the tone, warm lighting, beautiful décor, and a staff that greets you like you're genuinely welcome, not just another check‑in. I was appreciative of the front desk reading the notes, giving me access and allowing me to check in early. This hotel is always hustling and bustling with patrons coming to visit Dōgon by Kwame Onwuachi and their bar "The Lounge". My room was absolutely stunning. Spacious, beautifully furnished, and spotless in a way that shows real attention to detail. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the kind you sink into and forget about the outside world. The linens were crisp, the bathroom was immaculate, and everything felt thoughtfully curated. It's the kind of room where you immediately think, "Yes, I could stay here for a while. Next time I hope he wants 3 days not 2"! The staff deserves their own paragraph. Every single person I interacted with was kind, professional, and genuinely helpful. Not the forced hospitality you sometimes get at upscale hotels, this felt real. Whether it was housekeeping, front desk, spa girls or the bellmen, everyone carried themselves with a level of care that elevates the entire experience. I have to give credit where it's due: my sweet friend has impeccable taste, and choosing the Salamander proved it. He's here often, and as a local public figure, he values that this hotel gives him something rare; a space where he can move freely without people trying to take pictures, ask for autographs, or stop him for conversation. He chose a place that matches the energy perfectly: refined, luxurious, and effortlessly classy. I love when the people around me choose well, and this hotel was a flawless example of that. From the comfort of the rooms to the quality of the service, everything about my stay was exceptional. If you're looking for a hotel in DC that blends luxury with warmth and impeccable cleanliness, the Salamander should be at the top of your list. I'll absolutely be returning as this is his "in rotation" spots. Staycation Approved!

That jetted tub was supposed to earn its keep. The room: genuinely beautiful. The technology: aggressively dated. The vibe: a 90s time capsule, complete with missing doorknobs. There was effort here, but it felt like the hotel was holding its breath, afraid any real investment might trigger the next recession. What they got right: The bellhops were fantastic. Warm, personable, fun. Truly the highlight. Most staff we interacted with were polite and willing to help, which made the gaps elsewhere even more confusing. What they got wrong (beyond the dated room and tech): For a hotel that loudly advertises luxury service, the customer experience fell flat. Outside of the arrival bowl of fruit, nothing felt elevated. Night two, we ordered pizza and planned a cozy Home Alone movie night. The technology made streaming impossible. Fine, cable it is. We called the concierge and asked for two plates. Just two. The answer was a flat no. We were told to walk down to the lobby restaurant and see if they might have plates "to spare." I'm sorry, what? The next morning, room service arrived... with someone else's order. It was corrected, but for a luxury hotel, that kind of miss is surprising. Housekeeping came through, but only halfway. The coffee and minibar were never restocked. In a suite. At a luxury hotel. This is table stakes. At 9:30 PM we stopped by the lobby circle bar. It was immediately clear the bartenders did not want to be there. I get it, service work is hard. Still, opening our interaction by warning us about last call at 11 set a strange tone. By 10:00, one bartender disappeared for 45 minutes. No refills. No check-in. No bill. Breaks are important. Coverage is also important, especially when you're selling a premium experience. Beyond the bellhops, much of the staff felt irritated to be present. Front desk to concierge, the energy was less "historic luxury hotel" and more "counting down the minutes." The hotel was also clearly prioritizing weekend tea and brunch revenue, to the point that the historic lobby was clogged with extra tables and largely unusable for actual hotel guests. Bottom line: this was not a luxury experience, and I would not recommend it. I'm only posting this publicly because I reached out directly to hotel management and never received a response. At that point, a review feels necessary.

Not sure I would stay here again unless I wanted a specific view of the George Washington monument.
