Rosewood Washington, D.C.

"Features a rooftop bar with a picturesque view of the fireworks. The Independence Day party includes a welcome glass of champagne and a three-course surf and turf dinner. The night ends with fireworks and mini-cakes."

"Rosewood Washington, D.C. has been awarded two keys." - Stacey Lastoe

"Or head to Georgetown and the Rosewood, where vistas from the rooftop bar overlook the C&O Canal." - The MICHELIN Guide

"When Rosewood opened right on Georgetown’s C&O Canal in 2013, it quickly became one of the hottest places to stay in the city. The tony space offers a truly intimate feel—there are just 49 rooms and suites and six townhouses—that'll make you feel as though you're staying at the well-appointed home of a friend. You’re greeted by a personal assistant in the wood- and marble-clad lobby before being escorted to a spacious, elegant room. Each have hints of Art Deco influence, and lots of luxurious little touches: complimentary non-alcoholic beverages in the minibar, freshly cut flowers, and Diptyque toiletries waiting for you beside a dramatic marble bathtub." - Adele Chapin, Laura Ratliff

"What should we know before we go?A newer addition to D.C.’s luxury market, Rosewood opened right on Georgetown’s C&O Canal in 2013 and quickly became one of the hottest places to stay in the city. Unlike competitors Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, Rosewood offers a truly intimate feel—there are just 49 rooms and suites and six townhouses—that can’t be replicated. The good stuff: Tell us about the rooms.Rooms have vaguely Art Deco decor influences, and lots of little luxurious touches: non-alcoholic beverages in the minibar are free, fresh flowers are placed in every room, and luxurious Diptyque toiletries in the dramatic marble baths are a perk. Anything stand out about other services and features?Food and drink here are pricey, but worth it. Cut by Wolfgang Puck serves a seafood- and vegetable-forward menu, CUT Bar has a 2,500 bottle-strong stock and raw seafood counter, and CUT Above is a seasonal rooftop serving light bites and cocktails backed by city views. Bottom line: worth it?It’s not cheap, but the attentive service, stunning infinity pool, and private feel make it worth your while." - Laura Ratliff
