Riggs Washington DC

Located in the heart of Penn Quarter, Riggs Washington DC occupies the former home of historic Riggs National Bank, once called the “Bank of Presidents.” Built in 1891, the landmark building is among the last remaining examples of Richardsonian Romanesque Revival architecture in Washington, DC. During its storied past, the bank served 23 U.S. presidents and was celebrated as “the most important bank in the most important city in the world.”

Today, the 121,000-square-foot property has been reimagined by Lore Group, the hospitality company behind Pulitzer Amsterdam and Sea Containers London. The hotel offers 181 elegant guest rooms and suites, Café Riggs restaurant, subterranean bar Silver Lyan, and a striking rooftop event space with city views.

Since opening, Riggs Washington DC has earned global acclaim, recognized by Travel + Leisure as the No. 1 Hotel in Washington, DC, holding AAA Four Diamond distinction, ranking Top 2 Hotels in DC by TripAdvisor, and being named among the Best New Hotels in the World by Condé Nast Traveler. Its culinary and bar programs have been honored as Top 5 Hotel Restaurants and Bars in the World, Best Cocktail Bar in America (Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards), and Best Designed Hotel (under 200 rooms) by the International Hotel Property Awards.

A fusion of heritage and modern elegance, Riggs Washington DC stands as a destination for travelers and locals seeking history, design, and world-class hospitality in the capital’s cultural center.
