New hotels in Georgetown

Georgetown is Washington's oldest neighborhood, a historic district of cobblestone streets, rowhouses and the C&O Canal towpath along the Potomac, where new construction is rare and hotel supply has historically leaned toward independent inns rather than boutique brands. Three hotels we track have opened or are confirmed here, from a canal-side adaptive reuse to José Andrés's first hotel.

What to do in Georgetown

For a weekend

Walk the C&O Canal towpath past Canal House of Georgetown, then spend the afternoon on M Street's shopping and dining corridor and the Georgetown Waterfront Park along the Potomac. Georgetown University's campus sits at the neighborhood's western edge, giving the streets an academic energy alongside the historic-district calm.

For a longer stay

With more time, The Wharf is reachable by water taxi along the Potomac for a change of scene, and the wider city's other neighborhoods are covered in our full Washington, D.C. guide — Georgetown has no Metro station, so budget extra time for the walk in from Foggy Bottom or a short rideshare.
