Georgetown · Washington, DC
A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because a century-old brick incinerator, chimney intact, became an 86-room Ritz-Carlton between the C&O Canal and the Potomac – Forbes Four-Star, with a five-room spa and the river at the door, and we list it at exactly the tier it holds.
- Forbes Four-Star 2026 for the hotel, listed here as exactly that; a Virtuoso hotel under the Ritz-Carlton flag.
- 3100 South Street NW, on the Georgetown waterfront between the C&O Canal and the Potomac – the old Georgetown incinerator, its 130-foot brick chimney kept as the landmark.
- 86 rooms and suites – the smallest of the three Ritz-Carltons in the collection, against 300 keys in the West End and 398 in Tysons Corner.
- Degrees Bistro, with fire as its theme, and a five-room spa.
