The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company sets the gold standard in luxury hospitality worldwide. With an unshakeable credo and corporate philosophy of un-wavering commitment to service, both in our hotels and in our communities, The Ritz-Carlton has been recognized with numerous awards for being the gold standard of hospitality.
What began as a small restaurant in a former garage frequented by those ‘in the know’ has, after more than thirty years, won nearly every culinary award and accolade, and attracted a devoted following from around the world. This success owes as much to Chef/Proprietor Patrick O’Connell’s unforgettable culinary wizardry as to the warm, professional yet personal welcome that guests receive at The Inn at Little Washington, both in the restaurant and in the 24 luxuriously appointed guest rooms and cottages.
Through the years The Inn at Little Washington is fortunate to have been honored with numerous awards and distinctions:
The esteemed 116 year old Michelin Guide launched its first ever guide to Washington DC in October 2016. The legendary Inn at Little Washington has been awarded three stars – the only restaurant in the DC area to earn this distinction.
