Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC is worth booking for families and business travellers who want a 4-star hotel with a well-liked hot breakfast at about half the local median price. Drivers with large vehicles should note the paid, low-clearance garage, and sightseers should know central Washington sights are far away.

This is our Luxury pick in Bethesda, an official 4-star that fills the luxury slot under our rule that a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5.
It suits families, with family rooms listed, and travellers who value a big breakfast, a pool and a gym. The data carries a pets tag, but the pet policy is not confirmed.
Skip it if you want to walk to Washington's landmarks, or if you drive a tall vehicle and need easy parking.
Location and getting around
The address is 6711 Democracy Boulevard. The location score is 8.8.
Distances to the sights in our data are all long. Garrett Park, Maryland is about 4.2 km away, roughly 53 minutes on foot. The Washington D.C. Temple is about 6.4 km, around 80 minutes, and Washington National Cathedral about 11.8 km, around 148 minutes. All of these are far, so you will need a car, public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Plan your routes before you go.
What guests say
Guests rate it 8.8 out of 10 from 2,263 reviews, joint second of the 7 eligible properties in our sample. That is a large, reliable base.
Breakfast is the standout. Guests describe a hot buffet with made-to-order omelettes, waffles and a wide range of fresh options. Staff are called friendly and helpful, with efficient service.
Parking is the main complaint. Daily fees apply, and the garage has low clearance that makes it awkward for larger vehicles.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €129.88 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is about €260 for both nights and 51% below the sample median of €267.32. Check today's price for your dates.
Listed facilities include a gym, a pool, a restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast types listed are American and buffet; inclusion in your rate is not confirmed. A spa tag appears in the data but a spa is not among the confirmed facilities, so ask before counting on it.
Our Budget pick, The Bethesdan Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, scored 8.1 at about €172.59 per night. Our Best Value pick, AC Hotel by Marriott Bethesda Downtown, scored 8.9 at about €411.67 per night. Oddly, in the reference data this Luxury pick was the cheapest of the three. Rates move, so compare all three for your dates.
