Riggs Washington DC is located in the historic former Riggs National Bank building on the corner of 9th and F Street. Paying homage to the building's legacy, each of our 181 guest rooms and suites is reminiscent of a private safety deposit box, while serendipitous details throughout the hotel draw on a narrative inspired by the golden age of banking.
The heart and soul of the hotel is Cafe Riggs - a modern, all-occasion restaurant in the tradition of the grand brasseries of Europe - as well as a lower level bar housed in the original bank vault from the internationally-acclaimed Mr Lyan team.
