Dear Staff at the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Washington, DC The Wharf We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for helping make our wedding weekend so absolutely perfect. From beginning to end, we had a wonderful experience, and we truly could not have asked for a better stay. The hotel exceeded our expectations, and your staff was exceptional. Everyone we encountered was welcoming, professional, helpful, and genuinely committed to making our weekend special. It was evident that the entire team takes great pride in providing such a wonderful experience for their guests. We especially want to recognize the bellmen. With all of the moving pieces that come with a wedding—including luggage, wedding supplies, gowns, tuxedos, and everything in between—they made what could have been a stressful process completely seamless. They were incredibly accommodating, careful with our belongings, and always ready to lend a hand. I wish I had collected each of their names because every one of them deserves a special thank-you and recognition for the outstanding service they provided. Our wedding weekend was filled with so many wonderful memories, and your hotel and staff played a big part in making it such a special and enjoyable experience for us and our family. Please extend our sincere appreciation to your entire team, and especially to the bell staff, for everything they did to make our weekend so memorable. With our warmest thanks, Sue & Mike Redding

As a wedding professional, I know firsthand how much a great venue team contributes to the success of an event, and the team at the InterContinental was truly exceptional! A special shoutout to Marcelo, the banquet captain, Tito, and the entire banquet and service team. From start to finish, we operated as though we’d worked together for years. We were completely in sync, communication was effortless, and I never once had to chase anyone down or worry about whether something was being handled. Everyone was proactive, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the celebration a success. What I appreciated most was the sense of partnership. We looked out for one another, anticipated each other’s needs, and worked together seamlessly to ensure our couple and their guests had an incredible experience. There was a real sense of camaraderie, which made even the busiest moments enjoyable. Marcelo, thank you for being such a wonderful partner throughout the event! It’s teams like yours that make our work not only easier but genuinely fun. I would happily work alongside this crew again and again!

We were in Washington for annual DC bike ride. Being able to keep our bikes in the room was greatly appreciated. Location is surrounded by restaurants. Roof top pool is amazing. Gym is clean and has plenty of equipment. Room was clean, but for us the best experience was with the staff that was dealing with our can and helping with the luggage. Great bunch of folks. Because of them we would stay there again.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the nicest staff. The lobby was so warm and welcoming. The check in was so easy and our rooms were so clean, comfortable and decorated beautifully. The location is perfect, right on the Wharf but also so close to many delicious restaurants, museums, and Capitol attractions. We enjoyed the Intercontinental so much we extended our stay for an extra night. We also loved how welcoming and helping all the staff were, but Aidan went above and beyond our expectation. Always so friendly and remembering our names and such attention to the details. We also enjoyed the Willowsong and the delicious food and had such a wonderful experience with Oscar, Jeremiah, and Edgar at the bar. They all made the best drinks and gave such great service. We highly recommend this hotel and we are already planning another trip back in the near future.

My husband and I stayed here (as well as several of my friends and family) for a 30th wedding anniversary and a 60th birthday. The front desk staff was friendly and very accommodating for all of my requests. The property is clean and well-kept. Breakfast and late night cocktails at Willowsong were a great option along with all the other restaurants on The Wharf. But the best place in the hotel is the rooftop pool and the pool bar tended by Moises. He greeted us every day, had great customer service and even provided us with great recommendations around the city. We enjoyed long days with him and want to make sure he is commended for his service.

Our last night was horrible. There was a reunion of Mary and William possible a wedding. We were on the 10th floor and could hear the music all the way to our room. It was midnight and it was still going on. The rooms, rooftop pool, service , restaurant, were all really nice. If you’re a light sleeper go somewhere else. Wonderful view from our room. Great food served in the restaurant, and a comfortable room.

Our family stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience overall! We had a little difficulty during check-in, but Erinn was incredibly helpful and made everything much easier. We especially loved the rooftop pool—it was very family-friendly and perfect for traveling with young children. We also enjoyed walking around the Wharf area in the morning and at night and having delicious seafood nearby. Kitana helped us at check-out and patiently took care of all our requests, so our stay ended on a great note as well. I did have an unpleasant experience with someone who seemed to be the breakfast restaurant manager, but I’ll leave a separate review for the restaurant. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!
