131-room waterfront hotel at The Wharf with Potomac views and on-site restaurants Flora and Moonraker, steps from Waterfront Metro and the Maine Avenue fish market.
Pendry Washington DC, The Wharf is a 131-room luxury hotel at 655 Water Street SW in The Wharf, the Southwest Waterfront district of the District of Columbia, United States. It overlooks the Potomac River and sits steps from the Waterfront Metro station and the historic Maine Avenue fish market, with the National Mall museums reachable by a walk or a short ride. The setting combines a lively dining and music district with river views that are unusual for a central Washington hotel.
The building is a contemporary waterfront design, and the atmosphere is stylish and social rather than traditional. Rooms are offered as Deluxe Rooms, Studio Suites, Waterfront Suites and the top-tier Pendry Suite, with the waterfront categories commanding the upper end of the roughly $450 to $900 per night range. Many rooms emphasize light and views of the river and marina.
Dining is a central part of the stay. The on-site restaurants Flora and Moonraker are the signature venues, and a rooftop bar adds an evening gathering spot with panoramic views. Room service is available for guests who prefer to stay in. A fitness center, concierge service and valet parking complete the amenities; the hotel is more about waterfront dining and scene than a large spa complex.
Service character is trend-conscious and leisure-oriented, suited to couples, groups of friends and travelers attending concerts at nearby venues on The Wharf. The concierge can help with water taxi connections, restaurant bookings and Mall sightseeing. Visitors should expect lively evenings along the pier, which is part of the appeal but may matter to light sleepers; requesting a higher floor or a quieter side of the building is a reasonable precaution.
