Intercontinental - Washington D.C. - The Wharf By Ihg - A waterfront luxury hotel with rooftop pool, full-service spa, and panoramic Potomac River views

Located in Southwest's revitalized Wharf district, this Intercontinental Washington hotel features 278 rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows. The 17000-square-foot property houses three dining venues, including Moon Rabbit Vietnamese restaurant and the 12 Stories penthouse bar with 13-foot windows overlooking the city skyline. The full-service spa offers five treatment rooms, a nail bar, and an oasis lounge, while the 24/7 fitness center provides Peloton bikes and comprehensive workout equipment. For business travelers, 11 meeting rooms and multiple ballrooms accommodate events with waterfront views. The seasonal rooftop pool and WAVES deck serve cocktails and light bites. Positioned within The Wharf's mile-long entertainment district, this Washington hotel stands five miles from Reagan National Airport and walking distance to the National Mall.

Pros

3500-square-foot penthouse bar serves locally sourced oysters and craft cocktails

State-of-the-art touch panel technology and Nespresso machines in all rooms

LEED-Neighborhood Development Gold status for environmental sustainability

Waterfront location provides direct access to parks, shops, and 20+ restaurants

Cons

Rooftop pool and WAVES deck access limited to hotel guests only

Separate elevator access required for 12 Stories bar through District Square

“This property's position at The Wharf places you at the heart of a vibrant waterfront district, with numerous dining and entertainment options readily within reach, and many attractions are accessible on foot. The hotel itself presents a modern, comfortable environment, underscored by attentive staff who consistently make an effort to enhance your stay, whether through thoughtful room touches or insightful local guidance. The rooftop pool, while more suited for a refreshing dip, complements the property's appeal, especially when paired with the picturesque water views.”
