As one of Washington’s historic landmark hotels, The Willard InterContinental has seen its fair share of history through the years. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln took up residence at The Willard in the ten days prior to his inauguration. Ulysses S. Grant later coined the term “lobbyist” at the hotel, as he was often bothered by the self-promoters and glad handers he would meet in the lobby. InterContinental retained impeccable standards as one of Washington’s foremost hotels, continuing that theme through the current day.

"The metro" is the easiest and cheapest way to get around the D.C. area.


From DCA: take the Yellow Line toward Fort Totten and get off at Archives/Navy Memorial for the Waldorf Astoria.

From IAD: take the Silver Line toward Largo Town Center and get off at Federal Triangle for the Waldorf Astoria.


Metro cards can be purchased through the Wallet app on iPhones (or at the station). Of course, standard Uber/Lyft/Taxi or rental car is available. We do not recommend renting a car due to high parking costs in D.C.
