The riverfront Watergate complex encompasses apartments, boutiques and the office towers that made ‘Watergate’ a byword for political scandal after it broke that President Nixon’s ‘plumbers’ had bugged the headquarters of the 1972 Democratic National Committee here.
Monica Lewinsky, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Condoleezza Rice are among the Washingtonians who have lived at Watergate. The interior of the complex is set to reopen as a top-end hotel by 2016.
