  First time trip to DC with my wife and two teenagers. We stayed four nights. The service at the bar was excellent, as was housekeeping. My daughters enjoyed Afternoon tea, and the location of the hotel can't be beat. Our room felt spacious and comfortable for the four of us. Housekeeping was on point. The only miss we had was at breakfast. So many other great aspects of the hotel, and the historic nature of it has been well preserved. We would be back if we find ourselves in DC again.

  I visited a friend at the Willard for brunch, and it was an amazing and enjoyable experience. They had a complete brunch setup, but we decided to explore their restaurant, Cafe du Parc. They had a variety of mimosas and delicious onion soup that was incredibly comforting. We also got to see the Eastern Bunny, which added a touch of magic to the evening and brought smiles to the faces of the children. It was one of the best weekends I’ve had in my life with my dearest friend. Our waitress, Brinda, was incredibly attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be returning to the Willard, and this time, I’ll be the one staying there.

  We attended the Easter Brunch at the Willard, and it was absolutely mind-blowingly amazing. Calling it a buffet almost feels unfair — it was more like a beautifully orchestrated food symphony. The spread looked and felt a mile long, with so many delicious choices that I honestly wished I had the whole day, maybe even the whole weekend, to fully appreciate my new foodie happy place. Every table and station seemed to have something else that made you say, “Wait... they have that too?” The staff was wonderful from the hostess podium all the way to our table. James and Valeria (forgive me if I misspelled the names) were outstanding and kept us happy with full glasses of mimosas, water, and coffee — probably in that exact order, although after a while, who’s really keeping score? They were so friendly and attentive that by the end of brunch, it almost felt like we were leaving family... just much fuller and moving a little slower. And as if the endless amazing food wasn’t enough, there was even a mini petting zoo for the kids — inside the hotel. Goats, turtles, baby chicks... the whole thing somehow managed to be elegant, festive, and family-friendly all at once. One of the most unexpected and wonderful touches was the harp player. The music was absolutely beautiful, and it genuinely caught us off guard in the best way when we realized she was playing current hits on a harp. It added this perfect mix of classy, relaxing, and surprisingly fun to the whole experience. We’ve stayed at the Willard before and had a great experience, and we’ve also enjoyed the wonderful breakfast, but this Easter Brunch was on another level. We have officially put annual Easter Brunch at the Willard on our calendar and already look forward to our next stay.

  We enjoyed the Easter Brunch buffet. There were many stations of different food to choose. There were breakfast items and a made to order egg station, soups, salad, cuts of meat and salmon, sushi, dessert, cold bar of seafood, kid friendly selections, charcuterie, breads, and bar service. There was a petting zoo across the hall for customers to enjoy - hand sanitizer provided and it was located near the restrooms for people to wash their hands. The staff was awesome. Parrick and Valerie were very attentive and friendly. We did not feel ignored.

  Staying at the Willard InterContinental Washington was an exceptional experience. The food and overall hospitality were truly outstanding. Although we live only about an hour away, we decided to treat ourselves to a romantic getaway, just the two of us without the kids, and it was absolutely worth it. We stayed overnight just before the Cherry Blossom Festival, which made the visit even more memorable. One moment that stood out was when we contacted the front desk late at night for assistance locating feminine hygiene products. Not only did they promptly provide recommendations, but before we could even place a DoorDash order, a staff member personally delivered the items to our room. This level of attentiveness and care was greatly appreciated. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism. They were warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive, creating a comfortable and seamless experience. Overall, this was a remarkable stay, and I would highly recommend the Willard InterContinental to anyone visiting Washington, DC.Staying at the Willard InterContinental Washington was an exceptional experience.
