Waldorf Astoria

Only downtown Forbes 5-Star hotel, central to museums, dining, CityCenterDC, convention center, and Capital One Arena for concerts and sports.

 

Elegantly resorted to its historic grandeur, Washington's iconic Old Post Office has been reimagined as Waldorf Astoria Washington DC - bringing stunning design and unforgettable experiences to Pennsylvania Avenue.

​

The hotel features 263 expansive guest rooms and suites. Each retains the stately solid wood doors, wainscoting, and soaring windows of the building's original décor. Finely appointed bathrooms feature six-foot tubs, separate glass-enclosed showers, and amenities.
