The Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown is a luxury hotel located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., in the United States. It is near The Kennedy Center and the Georgetown waterfront. It is an AAA 5-star luxury hotel, and has 86 rooms, 27 premier suites, and five luxury suites. All rooms and suites have a view of the Potomac River and historic Georgetown. It contains a 140 feet (43 m) smokestack coming from the lobby fireplace. It is a small hotel and is known to be good for privacy. The hotel contains a restaurant, bar, and a fitness center with a newly refreshed spa after a $1.5 million dollar renovation in 2016. The rooms are on average 450 square feet (42 m2) in size and is located in a historic industrial building.
The Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown opened in 2003. The hotel was built as part of a $175 million complex financed by developer Millennium Partners that included the 86-room hotel, a 29-unit condominium, a 14-screen movie theater, and a 600-space parking garage. The building, a former incinerator, was renovated to appear as three distinct buildings from the outside. The hotel occupied the eastern and western "buildings", while the condominiums and the hotel's lobby, bar, and lounge occupied the central section. Millennium Partners began selling the condominiums at $2 million for 3,300 square feet (310 m2) and $9 million for 6,500 square feet (600 m2), and used the proceeds to cover debt service on the hotel.
Each wing of the hotel was designed to be physically isolated from the rest of the building, giving an entourage access to as many as 40 rooms at one time. The hotel's 34 suites, which initially rented for $5,000 a night, all had windows with bulletproof glass, to entice diplomatic guests. The Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown's main floor contained a 70-seat restaurant and bar with hardwood flooring, Oriental rugs, and glass tables with black-enamelled steel borders. The hotel's meeting space was located on the below-ground floor. Although limited in size (it would seat just 15 people), the room featured a customized, segmented glass table which could be configured for fifteen people or just two. A fitness center and spa were also built on the premises.
