The unexpected at every turn. Our signature lobby bar is an intimate, richly designed space that evokes the essence of a classic hotel bar with the modern grandeur of today. Finishes are warm and comfortable with an air of refinement, signature drinks are hand-crafted and served with impeccable attention to detail, and spirited gatherings set the scene with conversation, camaraderie and perhaps an extra cocktail. Or two.

    The best tea experience in Washington, DC! Service very friendly and top notch. I went for a friend’s birthday and we were greeted with celebratory champagne as soon as we were seated. Willard’s Tea Room expands tea seating just off Peacock Alley. We could still hear the piano and singer.

    The St Regis afternoon tea is an exquisite experience for special occasion, maybe a business meeting, date night or even a birthday present to yourself, as it was for me. The service is top-notch. You’re first given a plate of savory foods, and then a carousel of sweet foods. You have a menu for what you can choose for a blend of tea or even champagne. The atmosphere is very quiet, refined and elegant. The seats are comfortable and one could easily linger in them for a time after. Perhaps the only one thing to notice that the restroom is quite far away, down a spiral staircase

    My companion and I came for the seasonal tea service. Lovely venue and appropriate ambiance for high tea. Not all the offerings were to my personal taste, but all high quality nonetheless. Our server was excellent as well, but unfortunately I don’t recall her name. Would recommend
