An ideal location to explore DC

The Riggs is a beautiful old bank building, with comfortable rooms and attentive staff. They make great cocktails too! The Riggs is in a great location too - all the main sites are walkable - the Mall is only a few minutes away from where you can see all the main sights including the Capitol and Washington Monument. If you need to go further afield, the Metro is very efficient and cheap, with a station not far from the hotel. In all an ideal location to explore Washington DC

The cheaper inner rooms have limited view and aircon units are mounted on the outside wall which are very audible inside. This comes with the price so you have to pay extra to get an outer room which is better but the aircon unit in a wall column made a noticeable electric hum even when turned off. The showers & plumbing are not great. Should have spent more on this and less on decor. Restaurant and gym are good.

Great Boutique Hotel!

Super trendy hotel, beautifully decorated. The restaurant and downstairs bar are beyond great! Staff very friendly. Perfectly located and VERY safe, walkable to all sights, the hotel sits directly across from the National Portrait Gallery, super beautiful view from most rooms! Definitely coming back. Only one comment for improvement... They need hooks in the vanity area of the bathroom, no where to hand a vanity bag or anything else and a hook on the side of the inside of the closet, to hang a handbag or scarf. Additionally a shelf on top of the toilet, no where to put any of your haircare products or any extras except on top of the toilet. But other than that

The set up in a queen deluxe room is okay but the shower set up is not the very best- also you can hear in a queen deluxe room on the third floor when people use the bathroom shower in the room next door which is quite annoying

Boutique hotel in old bank building in Penn Station area. Friendly, well trained staff. Bellmen were especially helpful! Spacious King room with luxury and modern amenities. Elevated experience in bar and restaurant. We had a lovely Sunday brunch in the dining room. Great gym and cool speakeasy on the bottom floor. Our favorite DC hotel!
