Riggs Washington DC

Located in the heart of Penn Quarter, Riggs Washington DC occupies the former Riggs National Bank, once celebrated as the “Bank of Presidents.” The 19th-century Romanesque Revival landmark has been reimagined as a luxury hotel that blends historic grandeur with modern sophistication, offering distinctive spaces for meetings, celebrations, and private events.

The property features 181 residential-style guest rooms and suites, Café Riggs and its intimate cocktail bar, and The Rooftop at Riggs—2,500 sq. ft. of light-filled event space surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and a 1,500 sq. ft. terrace with panoramic downtown views. The rooftop is ideal for receptions up to 200 guests or seated dinners for 120, with adjoining atriums and a central foyer that create a natural flow for arrivals and breakouts.

For smaller gatherings, the 10th-floor Riggs Suite offers an elegant, residential-style venue for up to 25 guests, featuring a boardroom table, lounge seating, wet bar, and two connecting bedrooms for overnight stays.

In the original banking hall, Café Riggs preserves the building’s grandeur with marble columns, soaring ceilings, and art deco details. Two private dining rooms and the adjacent Bar at Café Riggs host semi-private dinners, receptions, and meetings for 16–45 guests.

Riggs Washington DC offers historic charm, modern style, and exceptional service in the heart of the capital.
