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).

Beautiful Hotel! Great location. This is a perfect place for a long weekend at the capital! I highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The style is modern but still cozy and inviting. One of the best hotels I have stayed at in DC.

While the staff at the hotel were cordial and helpful and the room was quiet, there were problems with the room. The AC did not work properly and could not be adjusted. It either came on at the apparent low setting, sounding like a freight train, or on auto which did not seem to work. The alarm clock by the bed did not work at all. The safe was… Read more
While the staff at the hotel were cordial and helpful and the room was quiet, there were problems with the room. The AC did not work properly and could not be adjusted. It either came on at the apparent low setting, sounding like a freight train, or on auto which did not seem to work. The alarm clock by the bed did not work at all. The safe was in a closet above the coffee machine/fridge…unusable for anyone less than six foot two. There was no soap, only dispensers. The shower was too complicated by far,and even on the hottest setting, the water was barely lukewarm. The pocket door to the WC was heavy and the metal handle rough enough to cause pain. A room with a king size bed, clearly meant for 2 people had only one non-adjustable wood chair. Even with a chaise lounge, there would have been room for an armchair. Not at all up to Hilton standards, especially at these prices. Read less

The room at this hotel was really nice and spacious. A friend and I went to celebrate her birthday and attend a concert. The area had plenty of options to eat and places to explore. I would definitely stay here again. My only complaint is that pest control needs to focus on the microwave in the halls. We saw lots of baby roaches crawling… Read more
