Reinvention of an Icon

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 Café 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.

Cherry Blossom Pop-Up

Katana Kitten

We had so much fun collaborating with Katana Kitten last year, that we’re doing it again! Inspired by the Japanese custom of flower viewing known as hanami and the original 1912 gift of cherry trees from the people of Japan to the United States, we’ll be transforming the bar just in time for Cherry Blossom season. A bespoke cocktail menu featuring House of Suntory spirits will run from March 27th through April 1st, with exclusive whisky tastings, signature Silver Lyan surprises, Katana Kitten party vibes, and appearances from Masa Urishido and Mr Lyan. 

Expect innovative drinks with unexpected ingredients, a fully immersive experience and, of course - a great time. Katana Kitten never disappoints, and Silver Lyan always delivers - this is one not to miss.

Café Riggs

Inspired by the bustling brasseries of Europe, Café Riggs offers traditional grace through a reimagined lens to bring a modern restaurant to D.C. Nestled on the hotel’s ground floor, the restaurant serves an all-day menu from the bar and dining room offering a menu of classics and innovative originals in a stately setting. 

A Reimagined Hotel Bar

Silver Lyan

Silver Lyan – nestled in our bank building’s former vault – is the first bar outside of Europe from Mr Lyan. Travelling the world, he sources the weird and wonderful, using bespoke techniques and experimenting with ingredients to develop new ways to capture flavor. Silver Lyan draws its inspiration from D.C.’s incredible depth of culture, food, drink, people and history to offer a bar that celebrates the notion of exchange – as well as a damn good time.
