Atrium & Entertainment
The hotel's central feature is a 19-story indoor garden atrium that maintains a consistent 72-degree climate year-round. Guests can watch a nightly light and fountain show in the atrium, though the viewing area is partially blocked by barriers for a ticketed Cirque show. The Replay Pop Up rooftop bar offers 80's themed entertainment and views of the Potomac River.
Dining & Bars
The resort has over 9 on-site dining venues, including an upscale steakhouse called Old Hickory Steakhouse. The Potomac Cafe serves coffee and light meals, while the Belvedere Bar near the lobby offers drinks and a view of the tree lighting shows. A coffee house, snack bar, and bar are available, but guests report long lines and limited vegetarian options.
Rooms & Suites
All guestrooms underwent a $64 million renovation and include a Smart TV, refrigerator, and armchair. Guests can upgrade to a balcony room overlooking the atrium or a river-view suite with views of the Potomac. Rooms are spacious and clean, but some guests report thin walls and noise from the atrium.
Spa & Wellness
The Relâche Spa offers a variety of treatments including massages, facials, and a steam room, though some guests report inconsistent service. The indoor heated pool has a poolside bar and is open year-round, with sun loungers and beach chairs. A state-of-the-art fitness center is available, along with yoga classes and a sauna.
Family & Business
The hotel provides child-friendly programming and complimentary transportation to Tanger Outlets and MGM National Harbor via the Harbor Circulator Bus. Business travelers have access to a comprehensive meeting and event space center with 24-hour front desk and concierge service. The on-site minimarket and barber/beauty shop add convenience for families and professionals.

“The sheer scale of this resort is remarkable, creating a captivating environment with its vast atrium, festive decorations, and a surprising variety of on-site activities, including impressive light shows. Its waterfront location in National Harbor makes it an excellent base, even offering transportation to nearby attractions. While parking fees and resort charges are on the higher side, the quality of service and the well-maintained facilities, particularly for events and families, stand out.”
