PB hotel design editorial

Few American cities have historically turned their backs on water the way Washington did with the Anacostia and Potomac, which makes the emergence of The Wharf on the Southwest Waterfront feel genuinely transformative. Pendry Washington DC – The Wharf, which arrived in 2022 as part of that mixed-use district, is the architectural centerpiece of this reclamation — a 12-story, 131-key tower designed by ODA whose facade is immediately legible in the images: a rhythmic grid of angled concrete fins and warm timber soffits sheltering deep-set glazed balconies, the whole composition shifting color with the light off the Potomac below. The massing has the precision of a well-resolved residential building rather than a conventional hotel block, each room appearing to claim its own private relationship with the water. Toronto-based DesignAgency handled the interiors with a sensibility that reaches toward continental Europe — Parisian grandeur filtered through a contemporary American lens. The guestrooms pair wrought iron four-poster beds and herringbone oak floors with Morris-inflected botanical rugs and curved corner windows that frame the marina like living paintings. The rooftop Moonraker bar is the most theatrical gesture: bold black-and-white striped floors, cane-backed bar stools upholstered in sapphire velvet on gilded pedestals, and a cascade of brass disc pendants suspended above a dark stone bar counter. Beyond the glass, the Washington skyline goes amber at dusk, completing the scene.

Pendry Washington DC - The Wharf Reviews

361 reviews

"The staff everywhere worked incredibly hard to please their guests and make things right despite the rain. And honestly, it is amazing to watch what a very well-mannered four-year-old does to win everyone over. Good manners go a long way, and watching people light up when interacting with a polite kid completely changed the energy and the mood."

"The Washington DC wharf location of the Pendry was perfect for being in a quiter part of the city and for being surrounded by a variety of restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops at all price points. Strolling to a delightful French restaurant on the wharf every morning was peaceful and the area became lively (but not crowded) as the day progressed. The wharf location is a simple one mile walk to the National Mall. The Pendry hotel was lovely, the staff were friendly and very helpful, the room was spotless and very quiet. We travel light but there was no space to keep two carry-on luggage or put clothing other than on hangers. Socks, underwear, rain hats, etc. had to remain in the luggage that remained in the entrance area on two luggage racks. The well appointed room decor did not compensate for the small area where the bed is located. There was one lounge chair and a upholstered stool on either side of the round table. Perfect for the person in the chair but not great for a second person stuck on a stool to read the paper or watch a movie. The hotel lobby has only four lounge chairs so going to the lobby to read wasn't an option. The best part of our four night stay was visiting the spa! If you are in Washington DC book a massage at the Pendry with Titus. The massages by Titus were the best I have ever had to help manage muscle stiffness."

"The Pendry DC is a beautifully designed boutique sized hotel in a perfect location on the Warf. Service was top notch by all staff we interacted with. The beds and sheets were lovely and comfortable and the shower temperature and pressure was incredible. The rooftop bar can't be missed -- gorgeous in design and amazing views of DC."
