Everything about the Riggs was delightful except the bar. The service was extremely slow with indifferent service. The room was great, check in was fast and friendly, and the front desk was extremely helpful. We will stay there again, but the bar really was pretty bad.

Very disappointed considering the room cost and that we are regulars. The bar was closed at 1145pm on a Saturday night, day after Valentines Day. In room dining also closed. I wanted a tea and lemon and desert, but our room did not have any teabags! When I called the front desk said that they could not help in locating tea bags at that time, 1245am! This is not how a 4+ or 5 star hotel that charges $500 a night should act!!!

I had an outstanding stay at Riggs Washington DC. From the moment I walked in, the hotel felt stylish, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed—classic DC character with a modern, upscale vibe. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, always ready with recommendations and quick to help with anything I needed. My room was spotless, quiet, and incredibly comfortable, with great attention to detail and a bed that made it hard to leave in the morning. The location is also perfect—easy to get around the city, close to great restaurants and major attractions, and convenient for both work and sightseeing. Overall, Riggs Washington DC delivers the kind of service and experience that makes you want to come back. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Washington, DC.

Riggs is a comfortable, attractive hotel in an extremely convenient setting for visiting the museums and other locations around the national mall. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the cafe was excellent. I prepaid for breakfast and that turned out to be a relative bargain. The superior room is of a standard size; the bathroom a bit on the small side, with the sink open to the room. However, the amenities are above average.
