There’s some hotel buzz coming out of Washington D.C. and we are all ears.
The Watergate Hotel has unveiled its $3.5-million luxury spa. That’s the iconic hotel that reopened in June, after undergoing a $200-million renovation. Guests arranging a stay can now book a range of guestrooms, including 24 premier suites, six Diplomat Suites and two Presidential suites.
Did we mention the amazing views of the Potomac River? But now, for us, it’s all about the new Argentta spa, which spans for 10,500 square feet below the lobby and is inspired by the Italian word for silver. That precious metal theme is carried throughout the spa; even the pool has mosaic tiles with genuine silver flecks. Other amenities include a whirlpool, sauna, a nail salon, six treatment rooms, and a suite for two.

The signature treatment here is the Argentta Seven Elements Ritual. This seven-part experience uses fresh, organic ingredients to create a toxin-free solution to restore skin. Looking for a refresh? Book the Strengthening Facial, which we hear is highly moisturizing and firming. Best part? The facial uses liquid silver to improve skin’s elasticity. Yes, we just said that. This new spa is also home to an exercise area, which has Technogym cardio and strength machines along with studio space for private boot-camp exercises. Note: Coaching and lifestyle sessions are also offered.
