Haute Hotels: This Spring Stay at The Westin Georgetown to See Washington D.C.'s Famous Cherry Blossoms! Exuding Wellness and Better Living, the Westin Georgetown Continues to Be Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!!!
Hotel Sweet Hotel
In our 16k posts and counting, there is only one international hotel brand that has been featured multiple times and that's the Westin, and the Westin Georgetown specifically. We are proud to be called a Starwood Preferred Guest, and we reiterate that the Westin Georgetown is absolutely a preferred hotel. They did everything perfectly as they did in our previous stay in 2013, featured here:
And they did even more. They pay attention to details which we feel is absolutely crucial, and perhaps most important in a Hotel brand. When you are not in your own element with everything exactly the way you want it, for you to be happy to travel you have to work with a brand that understands this. Picky Peachy has found happiness at the Westin Georgetown.
Peachy is a clean freak; you know there is a column called Clean Peachy. When she was staying at this Westin they happened to be cleaning the windows from outside, and they notify their guests in writing of this detail and draw the shades for them, which is quite thoughtful and helpful. We think maybe even the Easter bunny lives at the Westin Georgetown because chocolate was on our pillow when we returned from dinner reviews. (Of which there were many! If you are a Washington restaurant we reviewed, you should send people to the Westin Georgetown because they made your restaurant review possible.)
To properly explore a place, we believe you do it on your feet. Peachy walked all over Washington (this was one of our shorter trips below) and was really happy to be greeted with fruit infused cinnamon elixir to refresh us after one of our trips intelligently located next to the elevator bank. This also shows you how the Westin is creative and does more than simply water.
But let's start at the beginning. When we arrived at the Westin Georgetown, we were greeted promptly, professionally and enthusiastically by Lapu-Lapu. The lobby is gorgeous as you saw in the previous review, and the circular shape adds to the friendly nature of the venue.
We always say it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice. Everyone we've ever encountered at the Westin Georgetown has been the consummate professional, and they have also been extremely cordial and nice. Aside from what we've got to say, you can see they've received acclaim from other judges as well:
Nice to see all the diamonds!
Peachy Deegan sleeps better at night knowing that the Westin uses Lenovo. When we started Whom You Know we had visions of the best of everything working together. Looks like they already are here! Whom You Know has been proud to work with Lenovo since 2009 and we love love love love LOVE our ThinkPad by Lenovo.
The hallways at the Westin Georgetown are immaculate, and they are thoughtful to put the newspapers on the table near the elevator of the floor to add convenience to your life.
See that little square beauty to the bottom right? Peachy asked if she could use an empty refrigerator, because she is famous for not being able to eat her entire dinner at dinner. If you have seen the Peachy's Picks columns you would understand why. The Westin Georgetown was so helpful to let her use this and she only had to ask once and did not need to remind anyone. It was there as soon as she entered her room the first time.
The desk area is tidy and spacious, and the light is perfect throughout. If you've seen the column Chandelier Peachy, you know who is obsessed with proper lighting.
There is a second desk area closer to the closet, and we dearly loved the closet.
Look at how much space you have! A safe is to the bottom right and a luggage rack opens up too.
You know we love our fashion everything. Peachy as you could guess brought as much as she could carry. For shoes, she brought Paul Mayer Attitudes, Posh Wellies and Lotus.
Note that the Westin Georgetown also offers you an ironing board and iron so you can fix any wrinkles that happen along the way. Hallak the Couture Cleaner cleaned everything for us before we went away and since she got back, they found out that some of her clothes enthusiastically participated in dining reviews since they came back to New York wearing some of the food. Our new Ellen Christine creation below escaped unscathed. For Peachy, the ironing board was a good hatholder.
The bathroom at the Westin Georgetown is a dream. You may have noticed our most populated column by far is Product Alert; we have featured 1,944 beauty products since our inception, so yes, we are pretty big advocates of gorgeous bathrooms.
Not only is the bathroom gorgeous, but also it is functional and spacious. The Westin Georgetown kindly leaves you soap, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, mouthwash, towels galore, clean glasses, two mirrors, a shower cap, a polishing cloth and if you asked for it they could probably find whatever your little heart desires. If you forget anything there is a CVS on the next block; we love CVS.
Please meet the tub. You will not want to leave the tub!
The shower is equally fantastic. Both the tub and the shower have excellent water pressure at the Westin Georgetown, which is absolutely essential. We like how the shower has a special sprayer function as well. You can use their super comfortable bathrobe and we did!
Right up there with a comfortable bed, one of the best things ever is that the Westin Georgetown leaves you ample caffeine. Caffeine is an essential in life. Superb caffeine is even better, and the Westin Georgetown leaves you Starbucks in your room which is super smart of them. That way you can be both pleasant and alert before even leaving your room. It's also nice to know that Larry Work has fantastic coffee at The Caucus Room downstairs if you need even more coffee.
They also leave you water, which is fantastic and perfect to hydrate with. We love how the Westin is into your wellness. They really do care about you.
The piece de resistance is the bed. This king-sized bed is super comfortable and if Washington didn't have such great cherry blossoms and restaurants to see, it's easy to imagine not getting out of this bed. This time Peachy was in such a trance the morning she left and slept so well she forgot her tempurpedic travel pillow and the Westin is helping her out with that too. The Westin has fantastic pillows which we used as well! The more pillows the merrier, in our book.
Look at how clean those windows are! Finally, everyone living in Manhattan can especially appreciate how you can temperature control your room at the Westin Georgetown, which is more than anyone can say for their Manhattan apartment-no one here can control their temperature it is controlled by each building...and note on Memorial Day weekend, we believe their pool which looks AMAZING will be opening! Bring your Eco Swim!
