One of the best hotels in Washington, D.C. My wife and I have stayed at the Riggs Hotel, Washington D.C. twice; the last time for two nights from January 15th to 17th, 2026. Thanks to its excellent location, the hotel provides easy access to major attractions, restaurants, cafes, and shops. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, which is undoubtedly very convenient, and the rooms are quiet, comfortable, and clean, with a magnificent design and sufficiently good amenities, including bathrobes and slippers. What impressed us most about our stay at the Riggs was the hospitality and service. The staff, from the doorman to the waiters, provided friendly and welcoming service, surrounding us with care the entire time. We never had to open doors ourselves or carry our suitcases and bags. We would like to specifically and with great gratitude mention the waitress from the bar on the ground floor named Melody – a true professional and absolutely in her element. She is very knowledgeable about the bar's menu, works very quickly, and is always smiling and friendly. My wife and I are not very knowledgeable about cocktails, so we asked Melody to choose drinks for us based on our tastes and preferences. She patiently listened to us and instantly selected the necessary cocktails and appetizers with genuinely positive emotions and a smile, and the result always exceeded our expectations. It is employees like her that make a hotel truly memorable. We express our immense gratitude to all the hotel staff for their care, attention, and high level of service. Thanks to this attitude, we want to return to this hotel again.

Best service, we were checked in early and upgraded no problem. Staff were always helping us with the doors despite the cold! The room was perfectly appointed and so cute, with all the amenities. The location is so close to great restaurants and the Mall too. Will be back!

My husband and I had our Christmas Eve dinner at Cafe Riggs. Food and ambiance were spectacular - definitely put you in the Christmas mood. The most amazing part of our meal? The service from DAngelo. Honestly best service we have had in DC post COVID. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed with adding in just the right touch of humor and personality, without being overbearing and still allowing husband and I to share a nice holiday meal together. We will be back and we will request DAngelo again!

The location is excellent and the facilities are well maintained. We had breakfast at Riggs Café and drinks at Silver Lyan in the evening, both were outstanding and incredibly convenient being right inside the hotel. Every staff member we interacted with was extremely attentive. Was a great stay and we would absolutecome back.

I hosted my wedding reception at Riggs in October and was absolutely floored by the level of service, kindness, and professionalism of everyone. The valet employees were exceptional - especially Coach. They went above and beyond for us and all of our guests to make such a smooth transition anytime we came in or exited the hotel. I also had the pleasure of working with Karen & Brittany on the event side and cannot say enough good things! Karen started our journey into wedding planning and Brittany absolutely crushed handling the rest and it was so appreciated! Brittany was so down to earth and she put my Type A mind at ease that she had it all under control at all times and it was life saving! Not only was the staff amazing but the hotel is stunning, cafe riggs has the best cocktails and overall we couldn't have asked for anything more. We still get comments about how insane our wedding dinner and desserts/cake were. Truly couldn't recommend Riggs more for your wedding or any special occasion! We can't wait to celebrate our anniversary here in the coming year just to relive the day and exceptional service!

Washington is not a place where we normally spend our vacation but the Riggs made it worthwhile. Great location, beautiful public spaces, attentive service, and well maintained room that had all the amenities we needed. The restaurant has great food and coffee and we appreciated it being open on Christmas. Everyone was so friendly-doormen, housekeeping, servers at restaurant, and reception. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at the Riggs Hotel! Check-in was super easy, the hotel is absolutely gorgeous, and the location could not be better — we were right next to the Christmas market which was so fun. We used their cribs and the room had plenty of space for our two little ones, which made everything so much easier. Room service and breakfast were delicious. Overall just such a great vibe. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we’re in DC!

My family recently stayed at The Riggs while we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. The staff at the Riggs were always friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Garret and the other doormen always remembered us and welcomed us back each day and made sure we had what we needed, even making sure we got everything out of the Ubers we arrived in. The staff were also kind enough to deliver a bottle of champagne and a chocolate cake to us on arrival day to celebrate our special occasion and even included a card. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and well kept. We really enjoyed the warm coziness of the rooms with tasteful decor and color instead of the sad beige rooms we've had at other hotels. It was also wonderful to see throwbacks to the time the building was a bank, like the room number plates that resemble safe deposit box plates. Everything was clean and the complimentary robes, slippers, umbrella, and reusable bag were very nice to have. I also have to talk about the onsite restaurant, Cafe Riggs. The food was absolutely delicious. A few of our favorites were the Shakshuka, the salmon toast, and the goat cheese tart. The coffee was also a highlight for us. It was rich but not bitter in the slightest and was easily one of the best cups of coffee we’ve had. The location of the hotel is also perfect, it's in central DC and is only a block from the metro station or a quick Uber to most anything in DC. The Riggs staff always made sure we had everything we needed and they made our anniversary so special. We have definitely found our home away from home in DC and will be returning whenever we are in town.

Staff was excellent, friendly and helpful! “Mr. DC” was awesome in particular. The rooms are nice and the restaurants are very good! The location is extremely convenient to Capital One arena, just a few minute walk. As our event was starting the roads were all blocked or managed in such a way to make it very easy to see the event. Also very literally around the corner from the Ford theater.

Absolutely fantastic weekend at Riggs DC! The blend of historical charm with modern luxury updates was just what we were looking for. The staff was extremely hospitable and friendly. They were also very attentive to requests! We enjoyed drinks at the Silver Lyan which is extremely popular even though you would never know from the lobby. Breakfast at Cafe Riggs was also fantastic. The location made it easy to walk to numerous delicious restaurants and bars and the national mall only a few blocks away. Highly recommend!
