The Pendry is a new hidden gem on the Wharf in D.C. Opened in October 2022, this luxury hotel is made up of 131 guest rooms and suites, three restaurants and bars, a rooftop lounge, plus an on-site spa and pool. Overlooking the Southwest waterfront area, one of the hotel’s main draws is sweeping views of the area and surrounding landmarks like the Jefferson Memorial and the Tidal Basin.

During our recent visit to the Capitol, we stayed in one of their Double Queen guest rooms. A bit tight for a family of four, but good enough for a 2 night stay. If I were to visit again, I’d book a bigger room.
