Washington, DC: Which Ritz-Carlton property is best?
I am considering upcoming stays at the RC Washington, DC property and/or the RC Georgetown property. I wonder which is considered best or favored by most--and why?
Does air con work well at one or both? (I am a freak who prefers my room at 67 F or cooler.)
How does service compare? Food/beverage? Anything else that distinguishes other than the locations?
Thanks!

I have stayed in both about 2-3 years ago. The Georgetown will be better if you prefer a quieter, more upscale location and neighborhood just 10 blocks or so away. The DC property isnt bad by any means, but I just felt like the Georgetown beats it by a little in every aspect. Did not have club access, but did have lunch and dinner at both properties' restaurants and preferred Georgetown.

The Georgetown location is considered more upscale. But, the West End location is more in the thick of things (all depending on 'thick" to you).
As with most things, it doesn't matter what others consider. Aside from air-conditioning, what is it you want from the property?

But you’ve thankfully answered my question. I already was leaning towards the more boutique Georgetown property, especially since I’d start my business in Arlington. Thank you!
