The Willard InterContinental Washington is a historic luxury Beaux-Arts hotel designed by architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh and completed in 1901. Clad in Indiana limestone and rising 154.44 meters, this iconic tower block stands at 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, two blocks east of the White House in downtown Washington, D.C. The hotel houses numerous guest rooms, multiple restaurants, the Round Robin Bar, Peacock Alley—a series of high-end shops—and extensive function rooms. Now jointly owned by Carr Companies and InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, and designated both a Historic Hotel of America and a property on the National Register of Historic Places, the Willard remains a landmark of early-twentieth-century Washington hospitality.
