“Georgetown Ritz's warm service, tired rooms”

The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is a unique, historic small-luxury hotel in a lovely walkable pocket insulated from DC politics — superb service across the board (kindest front desk guests have met, over-the-top manager John, attentive Frey, even a late-night bar sandwich), with one guest urging Marriott to train new hires here. The property itself lags: tired dated rooms below Ritz-DC standards, a funny-smelling lobby, slow check-in, an impersonal bar, and a spa open only a few days a week.

Rooms
Tired, dated rooms below the brand standard.
Service
Exceptional staff at every single guest touchpoint.
Location
A lovely and walkable Georgetown pocket of town.
Food
Great food; the bar felt impersonal once.
Facilities
A unique historic vibe; the spa opens rarely.
