About this room

The Diplomat Suite at The Watergate Hotel unfolds across 1000 sq. ft., offering sweeping river views and a calm, sophisticated setting for two guests. Floor-to-ceiling blackout drapes and climate-controlled air conditioning ensure a restful stay, while the suite’s thoughtful layout frames the Potomac from multiple vantage points.

The bedroom centers on one king bed dressed with premium bedding, a pillowtop mattress, down comforter, hypo-allergenic options and crisp bed sheets for superior comfort. A private bathroom supplies both a bathtub or shower and accessible features where required, complemented by bathrobes, slippers, plush towels, designer toiletries and a hair dryer.

Suite (Diplomat) FAQs

See all FAQs →
What does the Diplomat Suite at The Watergate Hotel look out on?

The Diplomat Suite is a river-view suite overlooking the Potomac. The hotel sits on the river's banks in Foggy Bottom, right beside the Kennedy Center. If you want an even wider panorama, the hotel's rooftop bar, Top of the Gate, offers 360-degree views of the river, the Washington Monument and the skyline. It is open seasonally, from April through mid-October.

How big is the Diplomat Suite and how is it laid out?

The suite measures 1000 sq. ft. with one bedroom. It also has a dining table, so you can eat in the suite as well as sleep in it. That is generous space for two guests.

What are the beds, and how many people can stay?

The suite has 1 king bed with a pillowtop mattress, down comforter, premium and hypo-allergenic bedding, and blackout drapes. It sleeps 2 guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge. Note that the lead guest checking in must be at least 21, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

What is the bathroom like in the Diplomat Suite?

It is a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower, plus bathrobes, slippers, towels, designer toiletries and a hair dryer. The suite also has accessibility features, including a grab bar in the shower, a phone accessibility kit, closed-captioned TV and a visual fire alarm.

What is included with a stay in the Diplomat Suite?

Your stay includes free WiFi at 100+ Mbps, free bottled water and a minibar. It also includes access to Argentta Spa's indoor heated saltwater pool, whirlpool, sauna and steam room. The Technogym fitness center is open 24 hours for hotel guests. Individual spa treatments, parking and some dining extras are paid add-ons.

Is the Diplomat Suite a good choice for couples or a longer stay?

Yes. With 1000 sq. ft., one king bed and a dining table, it suits couples well, and the sleeping capacity of 2 keeps it quiet and uncrowded. The champagne service, coffee/tea maker, minibar and 47-inch TV with premium channels make longer stays comfortable. The spa and pool are downstairs on Level B3.

What are the pool and spa hours, and can I swim outdoors?

The Watergate Hotel has a restored indoor heated saltwater pool in Argentta Spa, with silver-flecked mosaic tiles from Luigi Moretti's 1960s design. The pool is open daily until 9 PM. There is no outdoor pool at the hotel. Guests under 18 need an adult with them in the spa area. Spa treatments are booked separately.

How do I get around, and what does parking cost?

Parking is valet only, at $65 per night for a standard vehicle. Rideshare and taxis are popular, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is roughly 10-15 minutes away by car. The Kennedy Center is about a 5-8 minute walk and the National Mall about 13 minutes. The Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station is a 9-20 minute walk.

What should I know about check-in, check-out and pets?

Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. The hotel is pet-friendly for pets up to 50 pounds, with a fee of $100 per stay covering up to 2 pets. Service animals are not charged. Kingbird, the hotel's restaurant, is on site, and reservations are strongly recommended.

6. Prices, fees, taxes & currency

Prices are shown in the currency indicated and include applicable taxes and fees unless stated otherwise; the total is displayed before you confirm. Our price may include a service fee and may differ from the rate offered directly by the Supplier. Currency conversions, where shown, are estimates. Certain taxes or resort fees may be collected by the Supplier at the property.

7. Cancellations, changes & refunds

Each rate carries its own cancellation policy, shown before you book (for example, non-refundable, or refundable up to a stated deadline). Refund eligibility and timing follow the policy attached to the rate you select. Service fees may be non-refundable. Failure to check in (“no-show”) may result in forfeiture of the amount paid, per the rate rules.

8. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for having valid identification and any required travel documents (such as a passport or visa), and for complying with the Supplier’s policies, including minimum check-in age, occupancy limits, deposits, and identification requirements. You are responsible for the accuracy of all guest information you provide.

9. Suppliers & third-party services

Suppliers are independent third parties. We are not liable for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, or negligence of any Supplier, or for the quality, condition, or safety of the travel services they provide. Any dispute regarding your stay or the services delivered is between you and the Supplier. Supplier terms and policies apply in addition to these Terms.

10. Third-party links

The site may contain links to third-party websites provided for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for those sites, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of any linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms.

We do not warrant that listings, prices, or descriptions are error-free.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BookResorts will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or connected with your use of the site or any booking. If we are found liable, our total liability will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid to BookResorts for the booking at issue, or (b) US$100.

We want to resolve any concern quickly and fairly. Before pursuing a formal claim, you agree to first contact our support team at 888-605-1350 or support@bookresorts.com and give us 60 days to resolve the matter informally. If we are unable to resolve it, any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in California, as set out in Section 17 (either party may still bring qualifying claims in small claims court).

17. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any permitted court action will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time of your booking applies to that booking. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Force majeure

We are not responsible for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, government actions, or Supplier closures.

20. Miscellaneous

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site.
