Elegant aesthetics, a fashionable atmosphere, unparalleled cocktails, and a pet-friendly policy? Count me in. As an aficionado of fine lodging, my curated selection of preferred destinations isn’t taken lightly. Leading the pack is none other than Pendry Hotels & Resorts.
Boasting chic interiors and avant-garde design elements, Pendry’s metropolitan havens provide visitors with an urbane yet laid-back hospitality experience. The brand excels in crafting inviting, vibrant enclaves where guests can socialize—or simply relax—following a day of urban adventuring. The cherry on top? Each Pendry establishment warmly welcomes your four-legged companions.

Since launching its flagship property in San Diego back in 2017, the Pendry brand has been on an upward trajectory, continually adding new coveted destinations to its repertoire. This is especially exciting for those of us (myself included) who fantasize about soaking up the sun in West Hollywood’s palm-lined streets or embarking on a winter escape amid the snowy slopes of Park City. The brand’s growing portfolio also encompasses other gems such as Sagamore Pendry Baltimore, Pendry Chicago, and the freshly inaugurated Pendry Washington, DC, The Wharf.
Nestled along the chic waterfront of Washington, DC, the guest rooms at this latest Pendry outpost have me utterly enchanted. Their inviting ambiance is amplified by floor-to-ceiling windows and sumptuous marble bathrooms. After a day spent exploring the treasures of the nation’s capital, guests have the luxury of unwinding atop the building with a cocktail at Moonraker, the hotel’s trendy rooftop bar that boasts picturesque river vistas. For those seeking an even deeper level of relaxation, the ethereal Spa Pendry awaits to pamper your senses.
