DC Living: Watergate Hotel Grand Reopening

Claire from Up in the Air Life, moi, and Katie Rose, Wine & Spirits Educator

When the invitation calls for Black Tie, you rummage through your closet and find the one long summer dress for the occasion. The evening called for cocktails, fun, and glamour and it didn't disappoint. The Watergate Hotel Reopening party was the main event to kick off the summer. There was DC's version of celebrities: former senators, current lobbyists, and people of political power. It was a who's who of DC and it was a whole lot of fun. 

The hotel name is no stranger to scandal, but the past has made way for the future. It pays homage to its original Italian design, but works for the new traveler. A well connected and multi-gadget guest. The hotel is situated closely to Georgetown, The White House, and other tourist attractions. It is definitely for the luxury traveler who favors modernity and elegance at the same time. 

Old school and new school.
