Beautiful hotel. Located right on the wharf. The architect is beautiful. Pool located on 2nd floor overlooking the waterfront. This is an ideal spot in the spring & summer months to utilize all their amenities. They have 3 restaurants located on premises Moonraker , Flora Flora, & Bar Pendry. read more

This place in a way reminds me Silver Lyan. Velvet (?) curtains, cool bar area and space in the back. I couldn't tell if it was reserved for private parties or not. Besides the obvious DC cost of drinks, this place is really cool and in a very cool spot. Service was ok - think the place was just busy, but it was super neat. read more

See details on Google review I can't type all that again. To paraphrase: -aesthetically pleasing hotel -staff could be more attentive and knowledgeable about info/inquiries prior to stay -location is near various food options, cvs, Starbucks but at night scene is chaotic if there is an event - Staff was courteous and welcoming. Service meets the baseline standard for any notable hotel but nothing to set them apart as exceptional -Parking is $70 per night (buzz kill) -I ubered but found it somewhat difficult to let driver know where to pick me up because the main entrance is really tucked away. -Overall I had a good experience but the hotel needs to work out some kinks for a seamless top tier experience read more

Pendry Washington DC - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Stayed there for the inauguration. The rooms are so small! With the little amenities they had, they failed. The coffee machine didn't work, there were no cups. It was so crammed. The tiny table, no dressers. There is no open shared spaces to be in the hotel, it's literally like a foyer and then the elevators to your room. For a price over 1k one would expect more. The front desk lady was low energy. The bar upstairs was beautiful to look out but the menu was just sushi. Quite frankly, this is more suited for those who want to hang out at the bar upstairs. The only thing five star about this place is the price. Please look elsewhere for hotel sleeping accommodations. People who rate this hotel five star, do not frequent five star hotels. Save your money. read more

Came with a colleague on a Tuesday. Despite being one of only two tables when we arrived, service was incredibly slow. Drinks were good but waaay overpriced. Of the food, the truffle edamame was good. The chicken was nearly inedible and the rest of the food was mediocre. Also incredibly overpriced. It got busier toward the end of the meal and service got even worse. Will not be back. They also added an extra $10 to the tip I left! And I had already given them 20 percent undeservingly. My credit card actually caught it for me (asked if I meant to give a 35 percent tip) which I definitely did not. Yet Penny did not change the total. read more

STANDARDS MEAN EVERYTHING. My wife and I have stayed at Pendry hotels in West Hollywood, Sagamore (Fell's Point) and NYC. The Washington version is by far the laggard. There's an awkward cadence to their staff, who do not seem particularly well trained. Lots of repeat questions on check-in, ordering food, getting pool towels. It took 25-plus minutes to get a cup of coffee in the "Moonraker" breakfast cafe. And then only after someone else's breakfast was delivered to us. My wife and I visited the pool at 515pm. Of course the area was nearly empty given the hour. Still 80% of the pool area was off limits to us as it was blockaded by cabanas and luxury lounges. We were forced to sit, movie theater-like among the rest of the dregs (all 6 of us.) The presence of cabanas and lounges did not incentive an upgrade. It was petty and pissed everyone off. The decor is of course luxurious and unique; polished brass and electronic art and tasteful design elements. But style never trumps substance. The hotel needs a management enema. read more

When I saw that The Pendry had opened at the Wharf, I was excited to go there. I had the absolute pleasure of going to Bar Pendry and Sonny was SUNNY! He brought all the sunshine and joy! He introduced himself as our intoxicologist and that was all the introduction we needed! He was warm, inviting, personable and the man knows his spirits! He took the time to engage with everyone who sat at this bar and understand exactly what they like. He curated the best tasting and looking drinks. Sonny and Amber kept the bar moving and the customers happy. We went up to Moonraker for dinner but found ourselves right back at Bar Pendry for Sonny to make one more cocktail for us. It was such a great experience, and I can't to return for more! read more

Pendry lobby bar was beautiful but service was so incredibly slow. Bartender complained that he was the only one on staff but the place was far from busting at the seams and a second bartender came in a few minutes later. Drinks were all good- I enjoyed the Rose of Any Other Name. We also enjoyed the caviar deviled eggs, which were a hit. read more

Beautiful hotel with excellent service! This is the view from room 804. Get this room! Stunning views! You can see the Pentagon from there. The hotel is also on this beautiful wharf, so you can walk to some great restaurants and bars. Whenever I come back to DC, I will definitely stay here again. Thanks very much for your warm hospitality. read more

Long overdue review of this fabulous hotel that I've been fortunate enough to stay at several times. First, a little background - I was unfamiliar with the Wharf area in DC and was given the hotel as recommendation from a friend (who had been to Moonraker, their outstanding rooftop bar) - so glad I did. The hotel is new, boutique, and very luxurious. After about 10 minutes there I was in love; it's a 5 star hotel in all the best ways: beautifully appointed rooms, swanky cool sexy restaurants and bars, luxurious common areas and amenities, and staff that just make you feel so comfortable and welcomed (more on that in a minute). I made a reservation at Moonraker for drinks/dinner in the evening but checked-in early and made full use of the hotel. Briana in guest services was so helpful she was a total rock star getting me sorted with everything and kicking things off to a great start. I spent the afternoon at the spa & pool which were outstanding - the perfect way to unwind and settle in. The spa there is excellent; my ritual is relaxing in the eucalyptus steam room then lounging around drinking the cucumber water until I feel like a human again. I walked up and down the Wharf to kill time, it's centrally located with just about everything nearby and the views are just beautiful anywhere you go. Before my dinner rez I posted up at the Pendry Bar in the lobby, fell totally in love with that bar and had one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had from Shanika (and then Thomas, the next day) - if either of them are at the helm you're in very good hands. Order the caviar deviled eggs too they were again, best I've ever had. Aisha Siraj the Banquet Chef was kind enough to ask me how they were and then pass along the recipe to me, and--as you can see (trend developing here)--she was awesome too. When it was time for dinner I took the elevator up the Moonraker, was promptly greeted by the staff and showed to the bar. That bar is unreal beautiful. The panoramic views, the décor, the ambiance, the intimacy of it. I've been to a handful of rooftop bars in the DC area and I can say with confidence you are doing yourself a serious disservice by not putting Moonraker at the top of your list. I had bite of sushi which was excellent and the gin drink on the menu that was outstanding. When my date arrived we decided to stay at the bar and forgo a table. The food and beverage director, Chris Alvear, anticipated the change (almost before we did!) and carved out a perfect spot for us at the corner of the bar - it made our night and we had the best time. Chris and I also had the opportunity to chat at the bar down at Clara Clara (their 2nd floor restaurant) the following day, the Pendry is extremely lucky to have him, he's the best. These guys really know what they're doing and I can't say enough about how thorough, knowledgeable, professional and just plain cool everyone is there. I feel like I want to work there (laughing). Mike, the bartender at Clara Clara makes one of the best Sangrias you'll ever have. I realize I keep describing everything as "the best" "amazing" but seriously--they marinate their sangria in terracotta pots overnight to accentuate the depth of flavor ... who does that? As a drink and food aficionado and just general lover of luxurious and well executed things this I feel nicely encapsulates the level of quality and thought that goes into everything at the Pendry--they treat every aspect of the hotel with a level of care and attention that you just don't find elsewhere and go above and beyond in ways that really make a difference. Anyways, I'm completely hooked. I'll be there again in May. I wouldn't even consider staying elsewhere. You guys are the best! read more

It certainly isn't a five star hotel - I don't even think it's 4 star. The chairs in our room were soiled, the room was small, the gentleman named Nick at check in was an absolute jerk who took his terrible day out on us, and we are just glad we are only here a couple of nights. The Pendry NYC, yes- the Pendry DC, no way. The bed was at least comfortable. read more

Review of Bar Pendry in the lobby: Wonderful cocktail bar! They provide delicious little snacks of olives and marcona almonds, and the drinks are some of the best Ive had lately. The service was above and beyond -- I was mistaken about a menu item, and they hunted down what they needed to make the drink I requested. The prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for! read more

Fantastic is all I can say! Fantastic staff, fantastic drinks, fantastic ambiance and fantastic food.

Occasion: Vacation with family (2 adults, 3 children) Location: lots of restaurants, nice views, quick uber or drive to national museums and monuments. Service: 1. Great! Received Fiji water upon arrival and request. 2. Welcomed with a nice bar of chocolate delived to room. 3. Check-in was simple and very helpful/courteous. 4. All questions were answered. 5. Room was serviced upon request. 6. No roll away beds although site advised they had. 7. charged for honor bar water although we didn't use it. (Update: contact made with front staff, charged removed) Hotel: 1. Rooms were ok, beds were very comfortable. 2. Gym was very good. A lot of free weights and machines. One of the better gyms I've seen and also has still/sparkling water. 3. The entire Pool is 3'6 which in our case was ok with the children. The hot tub was nice. Overall the pool was ok. Valet: HORRIBLE! $75 a night....this is were the Pendry failed. I requested my vehicle on our 2nd day stay and received it quickly, no problem. However upon returning that night the valet service was terrible and rude. First of all, valet saw us pull up and instead of assisting my wife and kids, they walked into the hotel. Another man was standing at the podium and did not make an effort to acknowledge us. As I'm removing the kids out of the car, that guy tells my wife "what do you want" (I did not hear this and my wife didn't tell me after the fact because I would have lost my ****). Anyway, I leave my window down and place my key fob on the dash and proceed to go the the podium. The guy tells me to go get the keys , then tells me that the yellow tag isn't on the key so I didn't valet my vehicle. I explained that's how I received the keys in the morning. He then states he can't valet my car. At this point I'm exhausted after a long day and go inside to Pendry for assistance. They then quickly went outside to speak to valet. Still at this point we are going back and forth. The guy then shows me my original ticket number with someone else vehicle information and name and asks if that was me (rhetorical question) I'm tired, I wasn't  entertaining sarcasm. After letting him hear a few words, another valet simply opened up another ticket for me and took the vehicle with no problem. I was livid, I told my wife and kids to go to the room because I was going to let this guy have an earful. Then my wife and kids tell me he disrespected my wife when we arrived. Man did I want to go back downstairs, but I decided against it. Overall: The Pendry itself was great. Although I used my Amex Platinum points and benefits, the hotel was approximately $1450 for two nights stay. My understanding is that valet isn't direct Pendry employees but a hired 3rd party. **Update** I spoke with a gentlemen named John who was extremely helpful and courteous. I explained the incident from the previous night and the Pendry went ahead and made the situation right. The hotel itself along with the service is great and what I expect from a 5 star hotel. Prior to speaking with John I was convinced not to come here again. I'm hoping valet was an isolated incident and at this point I would give Pendry another shot...thanks to John. read more

Drinks, service, and location are all amazing. Been here 3 times and never disappointed. Highly recommend for drinks and hanging out!

The front desk and bell staff have been amazing; friendly and warm. The local car service was a pleasant surprise and bellman Zion was amazing. The room service is poor. Orders delayed well beyond promised time and persistently annoyed by long wait just for ice (no other option here for ice other than to ask staff). During one of our days the room was not cleaned despite hanging the make up room door tag and being out of the room from 8AM-3 PM. The rooms are stylish with comfortable beds but very small. The bathrooms are bizarrely small. The location on the wharf is nice with easy access to many restaurants. Overall a disappointing experience; luxury hotel prices with a far from luxury experience. read more

I visited the Pendry bar. It was a week night and there were only me and 3 others present. The establishment was chic and clean...a glam mid century steakhouse decor theme. There was one bartender named Javier. Extremely pleasant. He held conversations with everyone and constantly made sure we were good on drinks and offering menu suggestions. I was served my own personal dishes of candied pecans (amazing) and olives. I ordered the turtles down (I think that's what it was called), an aperol spritz, and a bacon cheeseburger. Very pricey but I would happily pay again for the experience and customer service. I promised Javier that I would return. read more

Stars for location only. Spent a weekend with friends, 3 rooms were reserved. Parking was available for $75.00 a day but when we got a flat tire, they gave us a hard time leaving the car outside when roadside service was on the way and only took a few minutes to change the tire. This was just a series of "No" we received the whole time. You can't sit here. You can't get that, etc. Room service coffee delivered at "room temperature" etc. Room took till afternoon to get cleaned, staff was very unfriendly and seemed to have an attitude whenever you asked for something. read more

Great afternoon at the two bars at the Pendry. Had a glass of wine at the well-appointed lobby bar, and then Chris went out of his way to get us a reservation at Moonraker. They clearly have their act together - all service was excellent. Will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I eloped in DC and stayed for a night at the Pendry hoping to have a special stay-cation to celebrate our elopement. However, we were scammed with additional charges that were either not disclosed upfront, or were mistakes that they refuse to fix. We were charged twice for the nightly valet parking despite staying for 1 night with 1 car. There was no mini bar menu in the room detailing the price of each item, and they charged me $145 (!!!) for the small bottle (200ml) of Clase Azul tequila. The full bottle (750 ml) retails for $175. I had called ahead to see if some flower petals could be placed in the room given our elopement that day, but that was never done. We arranged for a late checkout, but two times housekeeping tried to enter despite having the Do Not Disturb sign placed on the door. Lastly, I had to call three times to get someone to send me my receipt over a week later of the incidental charges. This was a special night for us, and we were hoping to have a meaningful getaway, but the Pendry really dropped the ball and reception was not willing to help make it right when I attempted to challenge the incidental charges that were incorrect and the lack of price transparency with the minibar. We will not be returning. read more

The ambiance was wonderful. Javier was a great bartender. Friendly, great service and drinks!

Awesome experience. Great views. Really good service. The wagyu was underwhelming but the other dishes were all amazing.

First of all - this place is somewhat difficult to find. It took me a while to figure out where it was. The prices are SUPER freaking high. I ordered a salad which costed me $32 plus I added a tip which made it a freaking $40 salad. I've never spent so much on a SALAD in my life. The salad was underwhelming. I could've made a better one at home myself. Our waitress was ignoring us throughout the night. It took forever to flag her down to get our check and then it took even longer for her to bring our change and card back. She didn't even thank me for the generous tip I gave her (which she didn't deserve). I don't recommend this place and I won't be returning. read more

FRIENDLY SERVICE (5 Star) Our stay was made extra pleasant by the staff. Super friendly and very accommodating. We rode their bikes that were new electric bikes. They shuttled us by car to nearby events. We were greeted everyday with "How can we help you? ". They got us a reservation into Hell's Kitchen when they were booked past our stay. Our room was amazing. The view of the wharf was breathtaking. The bar in the room fully stocked with high end liquor. The bed was dreamy and we got the best sleep! NO FIREWORKS TO BE SEEN (3 Star) The Hotel adds many service charges so your bill creeps up fast. That's to be expected as most 5 star hotels do this. But $5 to deliver a bucket of ice with a service charge and tax added is too far. Food is overpriced. But, my biggest dissatisfaction was the rooftop fireworks on the 4th of July. Basically not as advertised. We organized several friends to join us on the 4th to eat, drink and view the fireworks ($200 per person) and the fireworks were completely blocked out by the large building next door. Everyone on the rooftop ran from side to side hoping there was a better view and there wasn't one. And the FOOD served on rooftop was not from the restaurant called Moonraker, They didn't serve any of their delicious Japanese fusion cuisine instead they served chicken wings, sushi and potato salad. The drinks were weak. You were greeted with a glass of champagne that was not filled over 2" in the glass (it was like a shot of champagne!) it felt really cheap and It totally wasn't worth it. STAFF OVERALL IS YOUNG. We relied on the executive host who was the most experienced in hospitality and treated us very well. Besides that service was incredibly inexperienced overall. CLEANLINESS The room was very nice and very clean. Bedding and towels fresh everyday. But the carpet in the halls was filthy. It seem strange that a hotel of this level to have carpet that looked so spotty and worn out. We noticed food dropped on the floor near the elevator that wasn't cleaned up for days. read more

Don't waste your money. Supposedly a newish, boutique hotel, but it feels like a renovated Holiday Inn with only slightly better style and design choices. Clearance aisle of Home Goods decor. They try to do the more personal check-in process (employees at individual desks like they're working at a bank) but it actually just ends up slowing the process way down and creating a queue of people in the tiny "lobby" that don't know where to stand because of the complete lack of room between the desks, front door, elevators, tiny bar, etc. Internet was fairly slow but not totally out of my expectations as 9/10 hotels have bad Wi-Fi. TV options were horrendous--nothing premium or high end, which isn't great for a hotel that markets oneself as that all around. Immediate surrounding area of The Wharf was cute, but fairly isolated and not very walkable (or subway accessible) to basically everything else you'd want to see in DC. Save your money and go elsewhere! read more
