The hotel, which is located in the former home of one of the district’s most iconic national banks, also features an elegant all-day eatery with original Corinthian columns and al fresco dining.

About Riggs Washington DC

Insider tip

Pop into the hotel’s see-and-be-seen bar, Silver Lyan for cocktails that pay homage to American culture including the Presidential Gift, Project Apollo, and Bases Loaded.

In the hotel’s own words

To step inside our soaring entrance is to become a part of the past, present, and future of the Penn Quarter. Constructed in 1891 as a headquarters for Riggs National Bank, the landmark example of Richardson Romanesque architecture was known as the Bank of Presidents, and resides at the intersection not just of 9th and F Street, but of American history.
