Since my husband is Dutch, we often have visitors from other countries who sometimes want to stay in a hotel, so I am always scoping out great local hotels in the DC area. Recently, I went to the Marriott Georgetown for a staycation and found a great spot to recommend to out-of-towns, or locals who want a staycation.
The Rooms
Spacious and clean, the rooms at the Marriott Georgetown have a lovely silver and purple décor, making them soothing and elegant. The bathrooms are modern and comfortable. I would definitely recommend booking a room with M Club Lounge Access, it is totally worth it!
The Amenities
The Marriott Georgetown has a great fitness room and a casual restaurant with a variety of options. However, the M Club Lounge may be the best amenity of all. The lounge has a sitting area with plush couches and chairs, a large screen TV, and wonderful staff who are willing to meet your every need. During the day, enjoy snacks like salad, cheese, bread, and small sandwiches. Then, late night there are decadent desserts like mini tarts and tiramisu. Candy, chips, and granola bars are available all the time, as is the wine bar. The wine bar has an awesome automatic dispensing system, so you don’t have to wait for someone to serve you, and you can just charge the drinks to you room. The food is all complimentary.
The Neighborhood
The Marriott Georgetown is located in West End, near a selection of fantastic restaurants like Rasika West End, Blue Duck Tavern, and West End Bistro. The neighborhood also has an Equinox Gym, a Solidcore Studio, and a Balance Gym. You can easily catch the Circulator (bus service) to M street in Georgetown for shopping or drinks. Best of all you are right by the Kennedy Center, where you can see a show, musical, or dance performance. Head back to your hotel at the end of the day for a nightcap, either at the hotel bar or in the M Lounge.
Marriott Georgetown: The Verdict
The Marriott Georgetown has a great location, comfortable, and has great amenities. Consider it for a staycation or recommend it to friends who are coming to town.
