6 reviews for Ritz-Carlton Georgetown
Conducted a business meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown today and it was hands down the perfect place. Service is spot on the very definition of understated luxury. The smokestack room is super cool, dramatic, and a fun ice breaker for a group of 8-10.
For lunch, we snuck upstairs and had amazing food. It may be hard to find, but as you would expect, the Ritz is easily five stars.
The hotel used to be an incinerator. Now it's just hot.
(I know, that was cheap)
Except that it is pretty hot. Exposed brick, modern decor, really nice robes that I contemplate stealing., Bulgari shampoo, and many more amenities.
No pool though, but I won't let that lower my rating.
Perfect location in Georgetown, just below M Street.
I have not experienced many luxury spas, but the petite spa at the Georgetown Ritz Carlton was amazing. First things first - if you have a spa treatment, you get free valet parking! Total bonus when you're scrambling to get there in DC traffic.
The attendant said the place is pretty empty Monday - Thursday and I definitely had the place to myself. The robe was so plush that I considered (and still do) buying one for home. The locker room is small, but still has all of the amenities that you expect at a Ritz. Huge showers, sauna, steam room, shower shoes, mouthwash, qtips, shavers, etc.
The massage was done by Dana - she was great. I had MANY stress knots in my neck and upper back and she really focused on them and worked through them. She had very good bedside manor and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I loved the hot towels they put on my feet and then the large hot towel thing (i couldn't see it, but it felt wonderful) they put on my back.
The cost of a 50 minute massage is $120 and honestly worth every penny. I am going for the 80 minute $160 massage next time - I didn't want it to be over! It was a total treat and I would recommend this to anyone in need of a little relaxation after a stressful day at work.....or day of shopping. It was private, comfortable, clean, convenient, accommodating, etc. I called Monday afternoon and got an appointment for Tuesday at 6:30. I wish I got there at 6pm, so I had time before and afterwards to hang out in the steam room/sauna. They close at 8pm.
As a birthday present for my girlfriend, I got a couples massage at the Ritz (alright, it was kind of a present for me too). The spa is down in the basement and was smaller than I expected, but man oh man did they give us good massages. As far as I could tell we were the only ones there and the staff was friendly and attentive. We got a 50 minute couples massage and loved every second of it. My masseuse performed wonders on my upper back, working through every knot in there. They place warm towels on your feet while massaging your legs and along your spine while working on your back. It was heavenly.
The spa here is a spot of calm amid the bustle of Georgetown... the last time I was here, I didn't see a single other patron and seemed to have the place all to myself. The deep tissue massage I had was so good I almost fell asleep... they practically had to peel me off the table once it was over. I can't wait to go back!
The only problem is that my massage was so good, every other one pales in comparison!
I really want to give it more stars because the staff is, for the most part, pretty great, and the architecture of the lobby is gorgeous. But for a luxury hotel, the walls are pretty thin. I can hear the t.v. in the next room and endless door slamming through the night. I apologize for sounding bourgeois but, one night no one showed up for turn-down service (feel free to mentally throw tomatoes at me). The bathroom is very pretty with a separate bath, shower and toilet but there wasn't much horizontal space to put your clothing or towels. The rooms are not huge, but a comfortable size. I slept like a baby in the firm and fluffy bed. The location is a big plus. You are just steps away from everything in Georgetown. The security is a little worrisome. In order to get to the rooms, you exit the main building where the lobby, restaurant, and bar are, and walk across a small courtyard. But the entrance to the rooms is not locked and there is a walkway off to the side of the courtyard leading to the street. Strange. All in all, pretty but lacking in some key amenities.
