Read it your way
Situated at the entrance to Georgetown, this hotel combines generous room layouts with attentive 24-hour service where staff make a point of remembering guest names. On-site dining shines at Bourbon Steak and Seasons restaurant, while limestone bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs. The primary drawback is the price point, which sits at the top of the city's market alongside expensive add-on costs for valet parking and dining. 118231

- “Plus, the hotel puts guests just a stone's throw from some of Washington's best offerings. It's a pricey option for accommodations, but worth it if you seek a top-tier level of service and that feeling that you're likely rubbing elbows with some of the city's - or even the world's - elite.” 15
- “I opted for a classic Caesar salad ($28), which was crispy and light, and a spaghetti Bolognese ($32), which had a flavorful and delicious sauce. However, the pasta was overcooked, which was disappointing considering the price.” 15

Room13 mentions
- “Last is the decor, which leans toward a classic, grown-up luxury - even with the rooms made contemporary, some reviews felt the lobby and exterior still read fairly plain, not as bold or modern as the newer design-led boutiques.” 11
- “Some of the suites even have terraces with patio furniture, which are ideal spots to relax when the weather is nice and a rare feature in city hotels.” 2
- “Our Grand Premier Room had plenty of space for our family of three with a plush king-sized bed and the option of a fold-out sofa bed or rollaway bed (our daughter chose the latter).” 3
- “Each room was designed by Pierre Yves-Rochon with chic and polished interiors featuring an elegant, contemporary style and the hotel's collection of fine art.” 1
- “The setup felt homey, incredibly chic and design-forward, like something from a very aspirational interior decor catalog.” 15
- “The Presidential Suite in the West Wing, with views of the Ohio Canal and garden courtyard, is all but guaranteed to make you feel like a visiting head of state.” 12
- “Freshly updated suites epitomize Washington elegance, delivering elevated comfort among understated, chic decor and furnishings.” 15
- “The entry way to the room had the mini bar, Nespresso machine, and a hot water kettle. I always appreciate hotels that provide both a Nespresso machine and a tea kettle, since it's not great to have coffee flavored water when making tea.” 21
- “kettle and glass bottles of water. This room flowed seamlessly into a living room that felt both cozy and fresh.” 15
- “Our favorite touches from the updated rooms: Bedside tables complete with charging stations, in-room desks that double as dining tables, and hidden nods to D.C.'s signature cherry blossoms found throughout the refreshed spaces, everywhere from the wallpaper to the drapery.” 8
- “We arrive in the early afternoon. Although it was the holiday season, there was no line at the front desk, and we were swiftly checked into our upgraded room.” 21
- “Rooms are large, starting at a whopping 385 square feet, and as plush as you'd expect from a Four Seasons.” 12
- “We had a Premier-Suite East Wing going to the courtyard (with a garden café). There was one large living-room and a smaller bedroom, a small bathroom with shower, a separate toilet/tub and a second small bathroom with toilet. Enough space for the three of us without to get in the way of each other.” 23
Service26 mentions
- “All in all, it was once again a pleasant experience to be in a Four Seasons hotel and as we had a good promotional offer it was affordable for us but be aware of the fact that you have to pay for every additional service (e.g. wifi).” 23
- “And there's the 24-hour Four Seasons service throughout - reviews agree the staff are warm, remember names and preferences, and help beyond expectations, which is the main reason people come back.” 11
- “From the moment we arrived, the service was simply unmatched. Although it was our first stay, the entire team welcomed us as if we were family coming home.” 17
- “Frank was so great welcoming us and Danwel was an amazing server - he helped us pick all the best dishes! That pasta was the best pasta I've ever tasted and the mashed potatoes too omg! The tableside steak service was also next level!” 17
- “Other than that, however, we enjoyed the great service and nice touches, such as the welcome amenities; complimentary courtesy car ride to dinner; the microfiber cleaning cloth for our devices provided during turndown service, complimentary morning coffee service, and the delightfully tranquil pool and jacuzzi (in stark contrast to the next hotel we visited).” 21
- “The staff members behind both desks were friendly and attentive and always had a smile and a "How are you today?" at the ready during my stay.” 15
- “Frank was so great welcoming us and Danwel was an amazing server - he helped us pick all the best dishes!” 17
- “The Four Seasons brand is known for their impeccable service, and the Washington, D.C. property did not disappoint. All of the staff, from the doormen to the waiters, is attentive and friendly.” 1
- “The staff with Four Seasons hotels is in general very service-minded and that was also the case with the one in Washington DC. The doormen were helpful and also the concierge we consulted was a great help to us.” 23
- “The staff were welcoming, the room felt clean and quiet, and the Georgetown location made it easy to walk around and enjoy the area.” 17
- “At the family-friendly hour of 5:00 p.m., the vibe was super chill and our server was extremely knowledgeable and spot-on with his recommendations.” 3
- “Hotel Manager Marlon was the standout. He was present, greeting guests and checking on tables, and he had things handled before we thought to ask.” 17
- “Georgetown's five-star favorite, prized for its prime location near the Potomac and boutique-lined streets, impeccable service, and spacious rooms that draw dignitaries, celebrities, and luxury connoisseurs alike.” 18
- “The staff at the front desk were polite, welcoming, and courteous.” 17
- “The staff members at the property are professional and thoughtful. They also know the area well and can help plan a sightseeing itinerary during your stay.” 8
- “Still, there are plenty of modern amenities and nice perks, such as Ferragamo toiletries.” 12
- “After a morning of travel, the welcome bag of goodies at check-in reset my daughter's mood instantaneously. Brilliant.” 3
- “The somewhat nondescript red brick façade belies lavish interiors, impeccable service, and a clientele of local and international political elites who come to wine, dine and recline in five star comfort.” 20
- “The whole staff was warm and sharp, and it's clear they take their cues from him.” 17
- “A really thoughtful touch during turndown service, when our son's sofa bed was made up, was a soft cleaning cloth for our devices.” 21
- “All recent guests agreed that the personalized customer service was a large reason for return visits.” 2
- “Take full advantage of the concierge services - the friendly folks behind the desk are ready and willing to help answer questions about your plans in Washington and provide ideas for things to do, restaurant recommendations, and suggestions for local shops, museums and galleries.” 15
- “You can tell the employees love working here and they genuinely care about guest happiness, it comes through in their greetings - not in a fake way - and readiness to assist with various visitor needs.” 2
- “While it's known for its classic steakhouse offerings with modern twists, I opted for a wedge salad with grilled shrimp ($52), per the general manager's recommendation, and I was very pleased with this order (I've pined for it since and have even considered re-creating it at home).” 15
- “Neither my husband nor I have traveled extensively around Washington, DC as adults so we leaned on the recommendations of the concierge a bit more than usual. I called from a few street corners to ask about this or that and when my husband requested a pound-crab-on-the-table kind of local joint, that is exactly where we were sent.” 3
- “Twice-daily housekeeping service ensures that guest rooms and suites are always in tip-top shape (in the evening, shades are drawn, slippers are placed bedside and fresh water is left on the nightstands).” 15
Bathroom7 mentions
- “L'Occitane bath amenities awaited in the sizable bathroom, which had a separate tub and shower.” 3
- “Between the entryway's two closets was a spacious bathroom with a separate wash closet for the toilet.” 15
- “Complimenting the room is a luxurious French limestone bath had an extra-deep soaking tub, thick terry bathrobes and Ferragamo bath amenities.” 1
- “Terry bathrobes and Salvatore Ferragamo bath products are nice perks, and all include hairdryers and magnifying mirrors.” 5
- “In the bathrooms, dual sinks and a well-lit makeup mirror make getting ready with a partner a breeze; there are also separate deep soaking tubs, marble walk-in showers and toilet areas. The space is impeccably clean and calming.” 8
- “I do wish the bathroom doors were solid and not semi transparent, as it isn't a good design if your companion needs to visit the bathroom during the night, given the light that comes through the door.” 21
- “The Grand Premier bathroom had double sinks, which we always appreciate, a separate soaking tub, separate toilet chamber and a regular (not rain) shower-the shower was a bit dated.” 21
Bed & Sleep4 mentions
- “contemporary style, with firm, soft beds several reviewers single out as especially easy to sleep in, wide marble bathrooms with soaking tubs, and many rooms looking out over greenery or the leafy Georgetown setting.” 11
- “This area featured a light, airy vibe with striking glass chandeliers and a plush king-size bed with a down duvet and soft-as-could-be linens.” 15
- “The bed was comfortable but too soft for us (every movement made the bed swinging ...).” 23
- “Open the door and you find an airy, easy space, with firm, soft beds several reviews call especially easy to sleep in, and wide marble bathrooms with a soaking tub and plenty of room to get ready.” 11
Location12 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The Four Seasons Washington, DC is located at 2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC in Georgetown, just a 10-12 minute walk from the Foggy Bottom Metro Station (the name of which made my son giggle). Since this was a short two night trip for us we were traveling very lightly and it was a very easy walk for us with our carry-ons.” 6
- “The Four Seasons is located on the edge of the historic Gerogetown. This property is tucked away in a charming area with rows of brightly-colored brick houses, along the tree-lined C&O Canal.” 1
- “The hotel enjoys a prime Georgetown location, giving guests a hip and happening break from edutainment.” 3
- “Georgetown is a lovely historic setting and the local neighbourhood is packed with restaurants and shops running along the canal” 20
- “The hotel is very conveniently located at the edge of Georgetown (old town) and not too far away from the sights in the new town.” 23
- “The hotel isn't right next to a metro stop. The nearest is Foggy Bottom-GWU, about a 15-minute walk, which makes trips to the National Mall or downtown a longer walk or a taxi/rideshare. If you'd rather not walk, it may feel less convenient than a hotel right by the train.” 11
- “Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC is a special place to rest one's head indeed, thanks to its prime location in the tony Georgetown neighborhood (also just steps from the sweeping waterfront views of the Potomac), an excellent restaurant and spa, and that peerless Four Seasons hospitality.” 15
- “four seasons washington dc is located in georgetown it's in a great location it's right on m street the main street which has tons of shopping and it's also right on the canal” On camera220:53
- “Location is genuinely this place's strongest card. The hotel sits on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue at the entrance to Georgetown, one of the most charming old neighborhoods in Washington - turn out of the lobby onto M Street and you find brand-name boutiques, restaurants and cafes lined up for an evening's wandering.” 11
- “I'm struggling here because nothing went wrong. You could choose a hotel within walking distance of the National Mall, but if you like staying a bit removed from touristy spots in places with a more relaxed vibe (like we do), Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC is a perfect choice.” 3
- “The Four Seasons' enviable location - perched on the edge of Rock Creek Park in D.C.'s chic Georgetown neighborhood - grants beautiful views of the park and easy access to some of the city's most popular attractions, including the Lincoln Memorial and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.” 2
- “Georgetown's five-star favorite, prized for its prime location near the Potomac and boutique-lined streets, impeccable service, and spacious rooms that draw dignitaries, celebrities, and luxury connoisseurs alike.” 18
Food17 mentions · 1 filmed
- “i love the in-room dining this is really cool” On camera224:53
- “Wow, the restaurant here is next level.” 17
- “Dinner at Bourbon Steak was excellent, but what sets this hotel apart is the leadership you can see on the floor.” 17
- “On to the food: the standout is Bourbon Steak, the dining room from well-known chef Michael Mina, serving fine steak and contemporary seafood with a smart bar and lounge, a draw for both hotel guests and locals.” 11
- “Room service was organized and efficient.” 15
- “Guests also exalt Bourbon Steak, the upscale in-house restaurant that regularly plays host to foodies, celebrities and politicos alike.” 2
- “Breakfast at Seasons-which is a play on the hotel's name and a seasonal menu-was also a treat. I started my day off with a yogurt parfait each morning.” 3
- “Plan to eat here. The D.C. hotel is home to Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak restaurant, which offers an elevated steakhouse experience with a blend of Asian and Latin influences.” 8
- “It was delicious, flavorful, and the menu had a variety of options. Our server was especially delightful, and we enjoyed talking with her about our recent trip to Thailand. She even shared thoughtful recommendations for future travels, making the experience feel genuinely personal.” 17
- “For brunch at Seasons, the hotel's daytime restaurant, I enjoyed the Georgetown Benedict, featuring crab meat and Old Bay hollandaise ($38), and an expertly crafted cappuccino ($11).” 15
- “As we had the breakfast included in our arrangement we could savor the always great breakfasts of this hotel chain in the restaurant Seasons. We enjoyed the food and the good service very much.” 23
- “For us, its sprawling spa was the perfect tonic after a long flight in, but the most memorable experience was a special dinner at the hotel's restaurant, Bourbon Steak - a chic, upscale eatery where we hobnobbed with the city's elite, tasted the strong house cocktails and devoured an orgasmically delicious food.” 19
- “This delightful platter can also be ordered via the hotel's in-room dining. It's my version of a perfect meal, especially because a number of the cheeses and charcuterie are sourced in nearby Virginia and Pennsylvania.” 3
- “Breakfast in the morning was outstanding. It was delicious, flavorful, and the menu had a variety of options.” 17
- “However, I highly recommend taking advantage of the complimentary morning lobby coffee and tea where there is what must be a professional-grade Nespresso maker (not the average Nespresso most people have at home) that brews up all sorts of specialty coffees.” 3
- “We enjoyed the food and the good service very much. We also dined once in the Bourbon Steak restaurant. The ambiance is very lively and it was a bit loud but the food is really superb (great aged steaks, best tuna we ever had, delicious desserts).” 23
- “Bourbon Steak, chef Michael Mina's dining room, serving fine steak and seafood that draws both hotel guests and locals, plus a bar and lounge for cocktails - one of the most talked-about hotel restaurants in DC.” 11
Value4 mentions
- “The first thing to weigh is price and the add-on costs, which sit at the top of the city's range - valet parking, in-hotel food and drink, and spa treatments. Some reviews felt the total ran higher than expected, so if you're driving in or watching the budget, check these extras ahead of time; and to save on meals, the Georgetown area around the hotel has plenty of places to walk out to nearby.” 11
- “I opted for a classic Caesar salad ($28), which was crispy and light, and a spaghetti Bolognese ($32), which had a flavorful and delicious sauce. However, the pasta was overcooked, which was disappointing considering the price.” 15
- “Pricing sits at the top of the city's range, and the extras add up: valet parking, in-hotel food and drink, and spa treatments. Some reviews felt the total ran higher than expected, so if you're driving in or watching the budget, check the add-on charges ahead of time.” 11
- “Plus, the hotel puts guests just a stone's throw from some of Washington's best offerings. It's a pricey option for accommodations, but worth it if you seek a top-tier level of service and that feeling that you're likely rubbing elbows with some of the city's - or even the world's - elite.” 15
Noise3 mentions
- “Walking through the hotel and checking out the accommodations in person, the hallways are quiet and the rooms are well sound-proofed, which will make for an excellent night's sleep.” 2
- “Despite being sandwiched between the Whitehurst Freeway and the busy Rock Creek Parkway, the hotel is quiet.” 5
- “The hotel is more classically styled and not as modern as the new Conrad Washington, DC, but we got a much better night's sleep, thanks to the more comfortable Four Seasons beds and better soundproofing-we didn't hear our neighbors and scarcely heard any hallway noise, unlike at the Conrad DC.” 21
