Rooftop Ice Rink Opens Atop Watergate Hotel

WASHINGTON, DC -- If you've always wanted a view while you ice skate, you're in luck, as the Watergate Hotel has installed a rink on their roof that opens on Thursday, Nov. 16.

You'll get incredible views along the Potomac River on the Watergate's roof, particularly of Georgetown and Rosslyn. The hotel has installed 1,400 square feet of synthetic ice, and it also features a skate-up bar where you can get a cocktail or glass of wine while on the ice.

"Enjoy Rooftop Skating in Washington DC!" states their website. "This one-of-a-kind ice rink offers an unforgettably unique experience with unparalleled 360-degree views of DC and the Potomac."

You can buy an ice skating package that includes skating for two adults (one hour of skate time and a skate rental) and 10 percent off their best available room rate, with a minimum stay of two nights. You also get 10 percent off the bar. There's a 72-hour cancellation policy.

The rink will be open through Feb. 28.
