Few brands are as synonymous with service and luxury as The Ritz-Carlton. For decades, the nameplate has been interchangeable with personalized service, opulent accommodations, and a sumptuous lifestyle. In the heart of Georgetown’s iconic Waterfront, as well associated with historic charm and the utmost in prestige, lies Penthouse 2A at The Ritz-Carlton Residences.

 

The largest unit in the building, this mansion in the sky stands above all else in a rarified air of exclusivity. Over 6,400 square feet of artfully custom hewn interiors open up to more than 3,000 square feet of private terraces, spanning a full 112 feet in length and portraying transcendent, sweeping views encompassing nearly all of the city’s monuments from the National Mall to Key Bridge and the roaring Potomac underneath.

 

A private elevator opens up to the residence, unlike anything else and unlikely to be ever replicated. Gascogne Limestone and Brazilian Cherry floors line grand, ethereal spaces with nearly all embassy-sized primary rooms opening onto the showstopper terrace for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining.

 

After the sun sets, a roaring fireplace in the formal living room serves as an intimate backdrop to the twinkling Arlington skyline beyond panoramic windows. The kitchen, a poster child for modernity, pairs smooth-faced solid wooden cabinetry with natural stone counters, concealing commercial-grade SubZero and Wolf appliances.

 

A breakfast nook and keeping room open onto a westward-facing patio, enabling alfresco dinners against the pastel backdrop of a Washington summer sunset. The primary suite is a home within a home, with wraparound windows to capture every last bit of the mesmerizing view. An Miele espresso bar, private study or fitness space overlooking the water, and twin dressing rooms and marble baths ensure life on the most lavish scale befitting of The Ritz-Carlton.

 

Three secondary bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, are all amply proportioned and luxuriously appointed. The custom curved staircase majestically twirls itself up to the upper level, whose custom wood and leather-paneled bar is a gracious functional work of art against an equally stunning view. Plush office space is discreetly tucked away on this level for total tranquility.

 

From the roof terrace, captivating views of the Washington Monument, Watergate, and Kennedy Center to the east, Rosslyn to the South, Key Bridge to the West, and Georgetown’s vibrant historic center to the North are simply unsurpassed by anything else. As is customary for one of the world’s finest five star hotels, an extensive list of individualized amenities convey with the offering.

An unparalleled location mere steps to M Street and the Waterfront establishes the residence as one of Washington’s finest offerings and enables Penthouse 2A at The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown to make a statement as the crown jewel of the city.
