Suite, 1 Bedroom, Garden View

This one-bedroom suite is the Garden View category, so it faces the garden side rather than being sold as a river-view room. It is a calm, restful outlook, and blackout drapes keep the bedroom dark for sleeping. If you want wide Potomac and skyline views, the hotel's rooftop bar, Top of the Gate, has 360-degree views and runs seasonally from April through mid-October, weather permitting.

The bedroom has 1 king bed with a pillowtop mattress, premium and hypo-allergenic bedding, and a down comforter. The living area adds a double-size sofa bed, so the suite sleeps up to 3 guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge.

The suite is 603 sq. ft. with a separate bedroom and a living area, so you can spread out. The bedroom holds the king bed, and the sofa bed sits in the living space. That makes it more comfortable than a standard room for a longer stay.

It is a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower, designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, towels and a hair dryer. The suite also has accessibility touches, including a grab bar in the shower.

The suite has a grab bar in the shower, closed-captioned TV, a phone accessibility kit and a visual fire alarm. The hotel's meeting and event venues are also mobility accessible.

In the room you get free Wi-Fi (100+ Mbps), free bottled water, a fully stocked minibar, a coffee and tea maker, champagne service and a 47-inch flat-screen TV with premium channels. Hotel guests can use the Argentta Spa pool, whirlpool, sauna and steam room at no charge. Spa treatments, parking and dining extras are paid add-ons. Overnight valet parking is $65 per night for a standard vehicle.

Yes, it suits both. Couples get a separate bedroom and living room. Families with one child can use the double sofa bed, since the suite sleeps 3. The lead guest at check-in must be 21 or older, but children can stay as accompanied guests. Guests under 18 need an adult with them in the spa area.

The hotel has a restored indoor heated saltwater pool at Argentta Spa on Level B3, about 50 feet long with three lap lanes. It has no outdoor pool. The outdoor pool sometimes seen in photos belongs to the separate residential Watergate buildings. The hotel's welcome compendium lists pool and amenity hours of 6am to 9pm daily, and the fitness center is open 24 hours.

The hotel welcomes dogs, cats and domestic pets up to 50 pounds in guest rooms and suites, for a fee of $100 per stay covering up to 2 pets. Service animals are not charged. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM.

The hotel is at 2650 Virginia Avenue NW in Foggy Bottom, about a 5-8 minute walk from the Kennedy Center. Georgetown Waterfront Park is roughly 10 minutes on foot, and the National Mall about 13 minutes. Reagan National Airport (DCA) is around 10-15 minutes by car in normal traffic. On site, Kingbird serves breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner, and The Next Whisky Bar opens evenings.
