The Old Post Office Landmark

On Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, the Waldorf Astoria is the restored Old Post Office landmark, with grand rooms and suites, the Bazaar by José Andrés, Michelin-starred Sushi Nakazawa and a spa.

Grandeur between the White House and the Capitol

The Waldorf Astoria Washington DC occupies the restored Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue, between the White House and the Capitol and near the National Mall. Restored to its historic grandeur, with a soaring chandeliered atrium, it has rooms and suites among the largest in the city, many with Pennsylvania Avenue views, including the Nancy Hanks Suite. Dining is a highlight, with the atrium Peacock Alley, the fire-driven Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres and the one-Michelin-starred omakase Sushi Nakazawa. The Waldorf Astoria Spa has six treatment rooms, a Himalayan salt therapy room and a relaxation sanctuary, and there is a Technogym fitness centre and 34,000 square feet of event space. It suits couples and travellers who want grand, historic surroundings and standout dining in the heart of Washington.

Dining

Dining is a highlight. Peacock Alley sits in the grand atrium for classic dishes and wine, Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres is the fire-driven modern steakhouse rooted in Spanish heritage, and Sushi Nakazawa is the one-Michelin-starred omakase from chef Daisuke Nakazawa.

There is 24-hour in-room dining, and the atrium setting runs through the day.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want grand, historic surroundings and standout dining in the heart of Washington. Settle into a large room beneath the clock tower, dine on fire-driven cooking at Bazaar Meat or omakase at the Michelin-starred Sushi Nakazawa, and unwind in the Himalayan salt room at the spa. The White House, the Capitol and the Mall are close by. It is a city landmark rather than a resort. Good for couples and travellers who want history and a sense of occasion.
