I confess this is my favorite hotel when I'm not in town for work...though it's tough to spend here when I can stay for free at the StR or others. But this Capella most reminds me of the overall luxury sensibilities of the Halkin by COMO in London--my favorite in London--though the design here is more plush. I at least always try to have Sunday brunch here whenever my work travel allows.

Rosewood Washington is currently offering 3rd night free and guaranteed upgrade at booking to Rosewood Elite agents.
No mention of guaranteed early check-in, but we can always ask for it!

Moderators: change this to ROSEWOOD not Capella?
Seems overdue for a title change since management has been Rosewood for over a year now...

I stayed this time about a year ago. It has an excellent location in the heart of Georgetown. We worked with a Virtuoso agent and booked a Georgetown Suite and were upgraded to a Rosewood Suite. This was a truly wonderful upgrade. While no view per se, this was an excellent upgrade with a roomy suite, deep soaking tub, etc. The hard product is very good. Excellent linens and aqua di parma toiletries.
The terrace is spectacular and was reserved for hotel guests. The bar is unique and offers a very special way to take in the District, complete with a view of downtown Washington and the Kennedy Center. The terrace also has a small but complete gym and a pleasant infinity pool.
Cocktails in the ground-floor bar and the terrace were excellent. Food items were of high-quality.
A few misses:
Check in/out was a bit muddled and I had trouble obtaining a correct folio at check out.
Dinner in the restaurant was very good. However, the Chef has changed and is now at Mirabelle.
Breakfast was painfully slow. I don't know what the issue was. The server was personable, friendly, and attentive (remembered our beverage orders from the day before) but getting seated and the time from ordering to service was slow.
If you like an excellent hard product, this is the place for you. If you're someone who really appreciates flawless service, you may wish to look elsewhere. The soft product may have improved in the past year, it's hard to say. But it certainly wasn't polished.

I haven't stayed at the rosewood, but did just stay a night at the PH a few weeks ago and had a good time. Booked entry level and got a jr suite upgrade and I love the food at Blue Duck Tavern.
