Pros: Magnificent architecture, good dining room-usually, very good rooms Cons: Service can have some slips, occasionally, vaguely corporate feel
The Willard Inter-Continental is one of Washington's great landmarks. Shuttered in 1968, it was rescued from oblivion by the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation and the Oliver Carr Company and re-opened in 1986. The Willard has occupied a...
Pros: Location, history, architecture Cons: Rooms are a little drab, room service food prices are a bit ridiculous
For location, style and history, the Willard is at the top of the list.
Twelve stories tall and occupying the entire corner of 14th street and Pennsylvania avenue, the Willard has character. As you pull up to the main entrance on Pennsylvania...
Let me state this at the very beginning- unless you are on an expense account or an ambassador to somewhere, don't even waste your time thinking about the Willard. I've never seen so much opulence in one building; it surpasses the Waldorf-Astoria in NY...
Pros: less touristy area, wonderful food, adorable and sweet staff, enough pillows to bury self in Cons: a bit sloppy on the finishings
One Aldwych may be Madonna hotel of choice, but there is none of the attitude usually associated with Celebrity hotels. In fact, this hotel is more about what it is then who stays there.
The Rooms: Giant beds covered in luxurious pillows and a...
Pros: Luxurious bathrooms, great location, nice rooms, efficient bellhops Cons: Parking is expensive, recently had bad service
FIRST VISIT: My husband and I decided to go to the Willard Inter-Continental in Washington, DC, since we had a buy one night, get one night free coupon. We booked the hotel through the toll-free number for the Six Continents Club (a guest recognition...
This hotel is the best hotel we ever stayed in. This, of course, says a lot about the hotel and about us. We seek quality in the places we stay in. Sometimes it can be found in a two star hotel, sometimes it's found in a five star hotel. One Aldwych has...
Pros: Location, Location, Location Cons: In disrepair, weak service, dirty
I became a member of epinions just to write this review. My experience at this once fine hotel was so disappointing, I had to share it and hope others avoid my mistake.
First the good points - I don't think you can get a better location to...
Pros: Location, service and historical significance. Cons: None.
This was our second time staying at the Willard. We were here for three nights. We booked an upgraded room with a view this stay compared to a standard room last time. This room overlooked Pennsylvania Ave. and the park across the street. You could ...
Pros: modern decor, good location Cons: Expensive and TINY rooms
I stayed at One Aldwych last November, and it wasn't that pleasant an experience.
I had reserved one of the largest non-suite rooms for 350 pounds a night, after hearing that the normal rooms are tiny. After checking in, I went to my room...
Pros: Location, luxury, staff, clientele, beauty Cons: Some rooms are small, price
My wife and I had the great pleasure of getting married at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel during April 2000. The Willard is a marvelous hotel, staffed by marvelous people. The rooms in the Willard range from small city-center sized rooms to...
