Park Hyatt Washington D.C.

The Park Hyatt Washington D.C. is located at 1201 24th Street NW in the West End of Washington D.C. The hotel is a five minute walk from historic Georgetown and Embassy Row. And the the hotel’s design uniquely blends American craftsmanship and contemporary style.

The Park Hyatt Washington D.C. is about an 8-9 minute walk from the Foggy Bottom Metro Station by George Washington University, which is convenient for making your way across the District. It takes about 20 minutes on the Metro Blue Line to reach DCA Airport from the Foggy Bottom Metro Station.

The main tourist attractions in Washington D.C. such as the Lincoln Memorial Vietnam Veterans Memorial, White House and Smithsonian Museums are about a 30-40 minute walk from the Park Hyatt Washington D.C. or 15-20 minute drive/ride. The Park Hyatt Washington D.C. does offer complimentary car service to the White House and CityCenterDC area.

Our Room

We booked a standard king room through Hyatt Privé to take advantage of the $100 credit and confirmed room upgrade. At the time of booking, we were upgraded to a Junior Suite and upon arrival, we were further upgraded to the Georgetown Suite.

The Georgetown Suite, which was over 1,000 square feet, was just gorgeous. The suite featured a separate living and dining room, spacious and comfortable bedroom, office area, and a spa-inspired limestone bathroom. There is also a half-bath off the living room area.

The office area in between the bedroom and living room was a nice spot to get some work done during the day.

The spa like bathroom was extremely spacious with a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub.

And as we've come to love with the Park Hyatt brand, bath products are Le Labo. The Park Hyatt Washington D.C. offers the Bergamote 22 scent, which we love.

Our room had a gorgeous welcome amenity waiting on us (part of booking through Hyatt Privé).

Amenities

The Park Hyatt Washington D.C. does have an indoor saltwater swimming pool and hot tub. I will say, it's an interesting hike across the hotel to find the pool area. But the pool area does have plenty of natural light with a glass atrium above the pool area.

Dining

Honestly, the best part about the Park Hyatt Washington D.C. is their restaurant, the Blue Duck Tavern. The restaurant is so popular, we have clients reach out to us to book them at the hotel specifically for the sole reason of eating at the restaurant. And you won’t just find hotel guests at the Blue Duck Tavern, it’s a popular place among locals. In fact, the Obama’s celebrated their anniversary dinner at the restaurant in 2009. And of course, you can use your $100 Hyatt Privé credit at the Blue Duck Tavern.

We ordered room service breakfast one day and took breakfast the second day at the Blue Duck Tavern. The food was delicious.

And we met friends at the Blue Duck Tavern for lunch one day. And of course, as expected, the food and service were excellent.

Service

To give you a bit of context, we started our trip in D.C. at the Fairmont Georgetown. The Fairmont literally sits right across the street from the Park Hyatt. And while we typically enjoy the Fairmont brand, the service at the Fairmont Georgetown was just awful.

That was not the case at the Park Hyatt Washington D.C. The service at the Park Hyatt was excellent, as it should be. But honestly service was about as good as it gets. From the front desk, to the restaurant staff and room service, we were generally quite impressed by the level of service we received. And everyone we met was extremely polite and friendly.

Overall Impression

While the Park Hyatt Washington D.C. might not be the closest hotel to the tourist sites in the Nation’s Capital, it is still conveniently located. And we enjoyed escaping the tourists and spending time in the West End and in Georgetown. The Park Hyatt Washington D.C. offers luxurious accommodations, excellent food and great amenities.

Extra Perks

And don’t forget, when you book the Park Hyatt Washington D.C. with Virtual Travel Gurus, through their Hyatt Privé partnership, you’ll receive a $100 hotel credit to use on dining or at the spa, daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade (if available, confirmed within 24 hours of booking) and a welcome amenity.
