Canopy by Hilton Washington DC The Wharf

Washington DC, USA

Star rating

The hotel

Totally in keeping with its sophisticated home city, Canopy by Hilton Washington DC The Wharf sweeps you up in its uber-contemporary spirit. With its incredible location — best admired from the roof terrace — the urban-appropriate greenery, and a barely-there glass balcony create a serene setting for viewing Potomac River. It may only be a walk from the metro, water taxis, and The Wharf, but it has complimentary Canopy bikes for exploring. And you can return for local brew, wine, and spirit tastings at Canopy Central, which is also the venue for its complimentary artisanal breakfasts (if you don’t opt for the free Break Fast Bag in-room delivery, that is).

Adel’s customer service was truly amazing! We accidentally booked the wrong date, (this was also the day before 4th of July so you can imagine my panic) and he couldn’t have been more helpful. He found us a room for that night without any hassle and even gave us a free upgrade!! He was so kind and welcoming, it really made our stay extra special.… Read more

Awesome location right on the wharf with plenty of activities, shopping and restaurants. Plenty of food options at the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Whiskey Charlie bar has a nice view and great drink. Will definitely be back to stay!

From the moment I arrived at the Canopy by Hilton at The Wharf, I was blown away by the hospitality and attention to detail. I called to find the entrance, and Don didn’t just give directions—he walked all the way out to meet me and personally guided me to the front desk. He even took my luggage upstairs himself, which was such a thoughtful touch. At check-in, Ronni and Haroon welcomed me with warm smiles and made the process quick and seamless. Their friendliness instantly made me feel at home. The hotel itself was spotless and beautifully designed with a unique, modern vibe that captures the charm of The Wharf. And the views—absolutely stunning! Overlooking the water made my stay feel peaceful and elevated. I truly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be booking here again on my next visit. A five-star experience from start to finish! Read less

We had the BEST stay at Canopy DC Wharf. We were on vacation from Seattle and touring all the DC monuments and museums for 4 nights. I chose this hotel for the river view and restaurants along the wharf. It exceeded our expectations! The room was amazing with floor to ceiling windows. We could see the Pentagon from our room. Free drink tastings at 6PM every night was a favorite. There is a free shuttle to the Memorial Mall just down the street in front of the CVS. We loved that we could walk to everything like the CVS and all the restaurants. The hotel was modern and beautiful and made our trip so special. Don and Alex at the hotel were so friendly and accommodating, I can’t say enough good things about our stay! Read less
