The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown

The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown - overview.

• Stately old homes and trendy boutiques are steps away from the new red-brick Ritz-Carlton in prestigious Georgetown.
• Opened in 2003, the remarkably restored hotel was once a 1930s incinerator, and a dramatic 130-foot smokestack forms the focal point.
• In keeping with the hotel’s unusual past, the theme is heat and fire: sizzling flame colors, fire-related art—even Fire Red Martinis.
• Guests can cool off in the soothing comfort of the intimate spa, featuring Carita Paris beauty treatments.

The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown - Room details

This hotel has 86 guestrooms. Each offers views of the courtyard, the Potomac River, the 1846 Grace Church, or historic 32nd Street. Beds are dressed with custom Frette linens, feather duvets, and dreamy goose-down pillows. The oversize marble baths offer deep soaking tubs and separate showers, luxury Trussardi toiletries, and plush terry robes.
• Deluxe Room - Located in the East and West wings of the hotel, the Deluxe Rooms measure 450 square feet. The rooms offer one king or two double beds and can accommodate a maximum of four guests. Amenities include twice-daily housekeeping attention, a fully stocked refreshment bar, a Bose Wave radio/CD player, three telephones, and high-speed Internet access (a nominal fee may apply). In-room safes have power for charging laptops and cell phones, and a Technology Butler is available for assisting with computer needs.

The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown - Property information

What to expect: With a prime location in genteel Georgetown, one of the nation’s oldest neighborhoods, this hotel offers respite from the hectic pace of downtown D.C. Brimming with Georgian mansions and Federal and Classical Revival homes, the area is a treasure trove for history and architecture aficionados. Collegiate types appreciate the location, too: The hotel is just half a mile from Georgetown University.
• Amenity highlights: The building itself is the talk of the neighborhood: A brick 1930s incinerator has been reborn as a luxury hotel, with a 130-foot tower as the centerpiece. Although its foundation is in the past, the Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown has a modern outlook, with a luxury spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and contemporary-style guestrooms with high-speed Internet access.
• Insider tip: Stroll or run along the historic C & O Canal, a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The canal was a key transportation route from 1828 to 1924, and hundreds of the original structures, including locks, lock houses, and aqueducts, remain. The canal's towpath provides a scenic, nearly level trail.
