About

On WeddingWire since 2009

The George Washington Hotel is a hotel wedding venue located in Washington, Pennsylvania. This premier, historic, boutique hotel and venue space dates back to 1922. Architect and designer William Lee Stoddart was the mastermind behind this elegant space. It originally featured a movie theater and theater foyer. Woven throughout its rich history are many notable guests who came to visit, such as Al Capone, Henry Ford, Harry Truman, and Lou Gehrig. Eventually, as the years went on, this venue shifted its focus to strictly being a hotel. Kyrk Pyros, who is the current owner, was the one who meticulously restored it and made it the dazzling wedding venue it is today. Couples will find the hotel ready to host not only their ceremony and reception, but also their bridal shower, engagement party, and rehearsal dinner.

The best experience!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party at The George Washington. First off, the hotel is beautiful and so full of history, which we loved. Every room has its own unique character and vibe. In addition, we had the entire hotel to ourselves with a different part of the event in a different event room so it had the feel of an ongoing celebration and party! Our guests loved the convenience and rolling fun of the day. Lastly, you will not find a more down-to-earth and invested staff! Erica and her team were so competent and invested in us throwing a wonderful event. At every turn, one of the staff members was going above and beyond to maximize our time there!

Amazing Experience, Book it!!

I had my wedding at The George Washington Hotel and I really could not be happier. The entire staff at the GW is professional, kind and on point. Lia, the wedding coordinator, is amazing at her job. All throughout the pandemic with changing guidelines and an anxious bride, Lia stayed in constant communication and always had a plan. I seriously don’t know what I would have done without her and Felica’s help. The beauty of the historic hotel speaks for itself. If you want a venue with character, this is it! The food was delicious and service was top notch. I really just can’t say enough about this venue, go see it! It’s a one stop shop, they helped me rent chairs, order linens and had food and a room for available for an after party. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Brunch Wedding

The George Washington Hotel was amazing! Such an easy process from start to finish. Erica was wonderful, helping rearrange flowers the morning of when they wilted. The food was amazing, and the decor they have available is beautiful. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The historic George Washington Hotel which has catered to some of the most prominent dignitaries in the world is a true classic hotel with the charm and beautiful atmosphere of days gone by. One of our assignments was in The Grand Ballroom which is stunning and quite elaborate with the gorgeous chandelier, the classic wooden floor and the abundance of daylight thru the large bay windows. Claire the event co-ordinator and her staff handle every aspect for that special bride. Their personal service is second to none; we definitely would recommend the hotel for that special wedding, reception, party or event in a wonderful environment. -John Lokmer - Lokmer Photography Inc.
