Willard InterContinental

Nestled just a few blocks away from the White House, the legendary Willard InterContinental hotel has been at the heart of Washington, D.C.'s social and political landscape since its inception in 1818.

The Willard is renowned for its historical significance, such as being the place where Martin Luther King Jr. completed his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, as well as its cherished Round Robin bar and opulent Peacock Alley, where daily high tea is served. The hotel offers a unique fusion of location, historic allure, and exceptional service, along with luxurious spaces that transport you back to the golden era of travel.

The Willard's Unique Highlights

 

Since its establishment, the property has been a favorite among politicians and celebrities, having accommodated almost every president since Franklin Pierce (in 1853), as well as notable figures like Charles Dickens, Buffalo Bill, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hotel's Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa is an intimate sanctuary with just four treatment rooms, offering signature Red Door treatments and relaxation facilities such as sauna and steam rooms and a spacious outdoor terrace.

 


For fitness enthusiasts, the hotel also features a recently renovated fitness center equipped with state-of-the-art TechnoGym machines. The Willard's high tea is always popular, especially during the spring cherry blossom season when the hotel serves a special Japanese-themed service.

 

Located at 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, the Willard remains a top choice for business and leisure travelers due to its prime location near the White House, the National Mall, several Metro stations, and more.

 

Insider Tips for Your Stay

 

Don't forget to visit the history gallery located just off the lobby, where you'll find photographs, newspaper articles, and artifacts from the luxury hotel's nearly 200-year history. It's widely believed that the term "lobbying" was coined at the hotel, thanks to Ulysses S. Grant, who often held his meetings there.

 

The Jenny Lind Suite is a popular choice for brides, featuring a magnificent four-poster bed and a deep soaking tub with a view of the Washington Monument.

 

Lavish Accommodations



The Willard InterContinental's 335 rooms are adorned in a grand yet classic style. With sizes starting at a generous 425 square feet, the rooms offer prime views of Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House, or downtown Washington, D.C. The beds are elegantly dressed with white duvet covers, vibrant decorative pillows, plaid bed skirts, and earth-toned runners.

 



Experience true luxury in one of the seven named suites, complete with spacious dining areas, offices, and extravagant living rooms perfect for entertaining guests or hosting business meetings.

 

Delectable Dining Options

 


Begin your culinary journey at the Willard with drinks in the Round Robin. Enjoy a glass of scotch or a classic cocktail in the cozy, dark wood-paneled bar. Another favorite destination is Peacock Alley, the hotel's magnificent central hall, where you can relax on plush velvet settees while savoring traditional high tea.

 

For a complete dining experience, visit Café du Parc, known for its classic bistro-inspired dishes. The café is especially popular during warmer months when guests can dine al fresco on the patio. Café du Parc offers simple yet delicious French bistro-style cuisine, including French onion soup and seasonal favorites like sous vide-braised pork shank infused with lemon and fennel.
