Totally in keeping with its sophisticated home city, Canopy by Hilton Washington DC The Wharf sweeps you up in its uber-contemporary spirit. With its incredible location — best admired from the roof terrace — the urban-appropriate greenery, and a barely-there glass balcony create a serene setting for viewing Potomac River. It may only be a walk from the metro, water taxis, and The Wharf, but it has complimentary Canopy bikes for exploring. And you can return for local brew, wine, and spirit tastings at Canopy Central, which is also the venue for its complimentary artisanal breakfasts (if you don’t opt for the free Break Fast Bag in-room delivery, that is).

Best staff and location in DC. Nia at the front desk is the best! Truly an asset to the Canopy. The valet just as nice. Breakfast is very good as well. Go to for my wife and I when we stay in DC. The rooms are clean and new. The hotel even smells good when you walk in. Go see Nia. Great service.
Excellent Experience!

I stayed at the Canopy to celebrate my birthday for the weekend and it was the best experience. I can't say enough about Alex and Adel. They made my check-in experience so smooth. They were very friendly and very accommodating. They asked if I wanted water or wine while I waited for my room to be ready. They also checked in every now and then to see if I need anything and to make sure my stay was going smooth. The suite was soooo nice. The view was spectacular. We also had a few drinks at Whiskey Charlie which was nice as well. The cheesecake at Whiskey Charlie is absolutely phenomenal. Overall, the stay was great and relaxed. I look forward to staying again soon!!! Please give Alex and Adel a raise for being top notch employees Thank you!!!

We stayed four nights and Adel was an outstanding person we would like to recognize. Every time, he was smiling and was making sure we are having an experience. The food was delicious. We stayed here when we got engaged last year. This year was excellent too and We can’t wait to come back.
