As my colleague Tanner Saunders and I noted last week, the D.C. Waldorf does not come cheap — in terms of points or even paying with cash. August has the lowest award availability for the year at 464,000 points per night on select dates — translating to about 0.2 cents per point, which is below TPG’s current valuationof Hilton Honors points at 0.6 ...
If the main rule of real estate is “location, location, location,” the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC can’t be beaten. It’s on Pennsylvania Avenue within walking distance of the White House, Washington Monument, Capitol Hill and a litany of other major D.C. attractions. Given its history, some might say it was a little too accessible for a prior Whi...
I initially checked in via the Hilton Honors app on my phone just before my plane pulled out of the gate in Boston to head to D.C. The hotel offered up a sixth-floor room, but I changed to a room on the eighth floor that was also offered and indicated I’d arrive by 5 p.m. The travel karma was strong, as I arrived just before 5 p.m. at the front doo...
Another friendly bellman arrived with the front desk attendant and collected my bags and led me to my room on the eighth floor. After all the ballyhoo of how great this view was going to be, I was excited to finally check it out. We chatted on the way up, and it’s here I learned the staff is still the same crew from the Trump International days — n...
The butler showed me into a new room on the seventh floor, and this one was more spacious than my first and didn’t have the slight vault in the ceiling as the one upstairs (I found out later via my Hilton Honors app I was moved up a category to a grand king). There was a chandelier over the, yes, gold-accented bed with velvet accent wall behind it....
If you head down to the first floor and then down another flight of stairs behind the main elevators, you’ll get to the Waldorf’s spa and fitness center level. At one point the spa was an Ivanka Trump-branded spa, but Waldorf signage was already up inside. I couldn’t get much farther in because a team was working on what appeared to be new signage ...
For now, the Waldorf is limited when it comes to where you can grab an on-site drink or a bite to eat. Sushi Nakazawa, a Michelin-rated Japanese restaurant, was unaffected by the saleof the Trump hotel and remains in operation, but the Waldorf team made no mention of it at check-in or when I called ahead the night prior to make sure there was somew...
The employees are the best part of the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC. This shouldn’t come as a shock, as many have been with the hotel since before Hilton and CGI Merchant Group entered the fray. Everyone was hospitable without being aloof or sterile. This is clearly a team that knows how to run a hotel. It is exciting to think about what they will...
