Message vendorReviews of The Royal Sonesta Washington, DC Capitol Hill
There is nothing better than a new hotel--wow!
The event started with a one-hour reception in the Work Suite where we were treated to an array of passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Everything was delicious and meticulously prepared, but what really set the tone was the violinist. I think her name was Tiffany and she was magnificent!
Afterwards, we received a proper hotel tour. I expected everything to be beautiful and sophisticated—and it was—but what surprised me was the spaciousness of the rooms. One of the most common complaints I hear about hotels in the city is about the standard room size. I hope this suggests a trend towards larger rooms for new hotels.
After the tour, we were invited to the penthouse level for a four-course dinner. We were served salads, scallops, duck and, to end, the Chef put on a little show for us, he flambeed crepe suzette before our very eyes. Stellar! We were also gifted macaroons with our company logos printed on them.
As for the venue itself, when my clients describe having a view of the city as a backdrop, this is the view they describe. The photo does not do it justice, it was breathtaking in person. We could see the Washington monument and Union Station from the penthouse. There was an expansive terrace as well, but it started to rain later in the evening, so we had to keep the party inside.
Shoutout to the venue manager, Anais, for her exceptional hospitality and dedication to creating unforgettable moments. I have worked with her for 5+ years and she’s not only flexible, responsive, and (alarmingly) attentive to details, but she is always over prepared, and she makes everything easy for everyone on the day of. Congratulations to her and the entire team… just wow.
