The room was nice and the hotel amenities were excellent! We appreciated the cleanliness of our room and bathroom. Most of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, aside from a couple of the female front desk attendants. Overall, we would come back to the Riggs and recommend the hotel to others!
The staff was very very Effie t and friendly. The answer to every question is always yes!
Dining was excellent & reasonable price, rooms clean. Very near the Smithsonian museums
Staff were amazing, location of property is perfect. Room was functional but would prefer a proper chair or desk chair for seating instead of upholstered ottomans.
The room was comfortable- the bed was very nice- the only problem was the weather was changing and we had trouble with the heating- we were too hot or too cold. The staff at the restaurant is amazing- the restaurant manager Tiane is friendly and very helpful- the hosting staff and service staff friendly and efficient. The food is delicious. We had a great time and look forward to going back to visit. And very popular bar- barista services- great wine list and snacks.
Superb place to stay while in DC. Beautifully designed with extremely helpful and just genuinely nice staff. Really made one feel at home. Happy to return on my next visit.
Great place for the family too!
The staff were everywhere, all the time, but not in a creepy way. Whenever we needed something, helpful staff just seemed to appear. They were kind and knowledgeable. The building is a work of art, and the room was one of the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. A memorable stay for all the right reasons!
Fantastic hotel in the heart of all the major sights you will want to see in Washington. Amazing staff and beautiful hotel. Had a fantastic 3 day stay.
Very beautiful Hotel with EXCELLENT restaurant, Cafe Riggs. The pancakes are amazing for breakfast and the chicken for dinner was the best chicken ever! Very cool bar in the vault, Silver Lyan.
My 2nd stay here and it was even better than last time. Location is walkable to many tourist spots. Very safe area to walk to/ from dinner if you wish. We had a Deluxe King Room which faced the street, nice light and although there was some noise from a nearby music event, it didn’t go very late. This hotel Is top notch, not a scuff mark, no stray hairs, nothing. The mini bar is full of high end drinks and other necessities. Front desk helped me with my cooler packs, Valet had my car ready at check out. This hotel was a pleasure.
This hotel is nothing short of spectacular. Not only are the accommodations beautiful, but the staff cannot be beat. Megan, Katyce, and Coach from the hotel dream made my stay memorable and were incredibly kind from the moment I walked in. Isaiah from Cafe Riggs was attentive and patient with all of my dining needs. This hotel was right across from the American art museum and a quick walk to the other museums. Cannot wait to come back and stay here again!
