wow what a stay! our weekend was amazing. We made our last minute reservation and bingo, what a great surprise it was. The location is fantastic, the service is top notch, from the valet, bellman, front desk, concierge, everyone was always smiling and ready to help. The VIEW woww, the bed, the amenities, everything so clean lobby, elevators, hallways, and room. I really would give more than five bubbles but that's what TripAdvisor got. Congratulation to the managers from this property, your leadership is showed by the way your team shows up to work and everyone seems to be very happy to be there. We loved your hospitality and DC, for sure we will return and hopefully soon. Obrigada, Luciana, Jay and Noah. P.s. Pet Friendly was very important for us and Noah is very grateful

We are DC locals who celebrated a special 8th birthday at the Intercontinental at the Wharf. We love everything about this hotel, but most of all the kind front desk staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I like that this hotel has so much going on. We saw a wedding in the lobby, many families with little kids exploring the area, business travelers, people celebrating special occasions, a sports team playing in the area, etc. This hotel is beautiful, located on the water, and friendly to all. The front desk staff is genuinely kind - Nancy made sure my child was remembered on her birthday in the most thoughtful way and followed up to make sure we'd had a great time. Thank you!

SHUJAAT KHAN was amazing. Chatted a week in advance and delivered above request. Great view and sweet staff. In house food was wonderful. Breakfast, afternoon snacks and cocktails were spot on. Anniversary weekend for us, and worth going back.

Guys were quick to open doors, load and unload your personal items for you. It's $5 more to do the valet and you can call for your car as often as you need/want. I mean what's $5 when you're paying $60 for one night of parking lol

Great room & views. Constellation is suite is the best I’ve visited. Whole staff was great, especially Ercan. He was the best, the next morning Diane was very helpful. She went out of her way to help locate my misplaced car keys(my fault) & the valet/bag assistants made the stay even better. S/o to my guy with the dreads & was of African descent. I think, either African or Jamaican, tall guy.

Our one night stay was excellent. Most importantly the hotel staff and Jamar at the front desk were ready to assist with everything without ever having to ask. Received a nice side water view upgrade. The hotel location is very convenient for our first time at the DC Wharf.

We had our daughters wedding there and everyone was very helpful. The food was warm and service was awesome. Mr. Basaki was extremely friendly and helpful when we arrived at the hotel making sure our every need was taken care of and the next day Mr. Basaki greeted me and wanted to make sure how the service was after our daughters wedding. Thank you for making our daughters wedding perfect in every way.

The whole experience was great, from the valay parking to the doorman to the front desk. It was simply wonderful. The rooms were very clean and we had a wonderful view looking out onto the wharf. First time at this hotel. We ordered room service and it arrived so fast I couldn't believe it! The service was outstanding in my book!!
