The wharf is a beautiful asset to Washington, DC! The Intercontinental is centrally located and easy to get to from Reagan International. Came to DC for an engagement dinner cruise at Pier 4 and the wharf was the perfect after party!

It is one of the best hotels in DC. We came during Cherry Blossom. It took 10 mins to walk to the most beautiful spot for Blossom viewing. There are many restaurants and cafe near the hotel. And it was fantastic to go for a walk after having a nice dinner nearby. The room was clean, big and everything was up-to-date. Overall, I was pretty happy with this stay.
