About this hotel
General information
Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC occupies a quiet stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue at the gateway to upmarket Georgetown, wrapped in a manicured garden of tall trees, clipped shrubs and bright flowers. The neoclassical building has a restrained façade and two wings linked by a glass gallery with a conservatory. It is the capital’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel, long valued by business travellers and well-known names for the polished service of a staff that has stayed for years.
The lobby, by Pierre-Yves Rochon, is dressed in rich browns and neutrals, while corridors and rooms use white, pearl and taupe lifted by coral, peach and deep chocolate, with subtle motifs of the city’s cherry blossoms, the C&O Canal and the Potomac. Works by Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler and Fernando Botero hang in the lobby and throughout, and the perfumer House of Krigler has a boutique off the lobby. There are two restaurants and a lounge, a spa with a pool, a three-storey fitness club and 2,130 m² of event space, including the Corcoran Ballroom. Weddings are arranged here, and the concierge can organise a chauffeur, a limousine or car hire.
Location
The hotel is on Pennsylvania Avenue in Georgetown, Washington’s historic quarter. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is 11 km away, Washington Dulles 42 km and Baltimore/Washington International 48 km.
Spa
The spa offers massages, body scrubs and wraps, tailored facials, IV therapies and Mind Sync sessions, which combine sound and vibration on purpose-built vibroacoustic tables. A private contrast-therapy room pairs a cold plunge with an infrared sauna, and there is also a eucalyptus steam room, a sauna and a spa tub. In the evening, Night Spa brings an 80-minute massage, light fare and champagne with private use of the pool level, for two or for a group of four. A boutique hair salon and a spa shop complete the floor.

The three-storey, 1,114 m² fitness centre is open to hotel guests around the clock, with more than 30 cardio and strength machines by Precor, Hoist and Peloton, a movement studio with Lululemon mats, a yoga studio and an open-air patio. Beyond the gym:

Pets
One pet per room is welcome, dogs and cats alike, with no weight limit. On arrival there are house-made treats, a plush bed, bowls and a dedicated pet menu; outside the room pets stay on a lead or in a carrier and are never left alone. They are not allowed on the pool level or in the spa, fitness centre, restaurants or bar, and the concierge can help with dog walking, supplies and convenient housekeeping times.
