One of the world’s grandest and most iconic hotels, Willard InterContinental Washington, D.C. combines American history and luxury, proudly setting the benchmark with two centuries of unrivaled hospitality. Willard is a legendary hotel and celebrated landmark, standing steps away from The White House and surrounded by historical monuments and world-renowned museums. And there isn’t a more fitting place for cocktail connoisseurs and history buffs to raise a glass than the famous Round Robin Bar.
Stopped for a night as the halfway point of a long drive. The hotel is stunning and the staff is very helpful. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. The staff at the Round Robin are very inviting and kept things moving well in a packed house. The only downfall was that our truck was too big for the parking garage, but we secured a spot on the street, directly across from the front door.
