P.O.V. Roof Terrace and Lounge Cocktail Bar / Hotel Bar / Restaurant / Rooftop Lounge

DOWNTOWN WASHINGTON, DC –

Set atop the city’s elegant W Hotel, P.O.V. Roof Terrace and Lounge delivers exactly what its name promises – an expansive panorama that encompasses several of D.C.’s most beautiful monuments. Occupying two distinct spaces on the hotel’s top floor, the venue attracts a wide range of political elites, professionals from nearby offices, and camera-toting tourists.

Accessed via a single elevator in the lobby, patrons looking for a subdued vibe can make their way to the open-air Terrace, whose bar and bank of red velvet banquettes provide space for relaxed conversation even on the most crowded nights.

The decibel level picks up inside the Lounge, however, where a rotation of DJs and occasional live music acts keeps the place lively Thursdays through Saturdays. While some of the designer-clad crowd might break out into bouts of energetic dancing, most patrons are content to simply relax on the dozen plush couches and high-backed chairs clustered around the thirty-foot window on the back wall.

First-timers edge closer to the rear of the Lounge to gawk at the glowing skyline and soaring Washington Monument, while fashionistas recline against the white stone bar at the front to mingle and sample a few high-end cocktails.

Happening both day and night, P.O.V. Roof Terrace and Lounge is perfect for designer drinks, designer dresses, and designer views.
