[currently closed]
Imagine starting your day in one of Washington D.C.’s most iconic hotels, then stepping out to see the White House just a five-minute walk away. That’s your reality when you join the 12-month hospitality internship at The Hamilton Hotel — where your career and the capital converge.
Set in the heart of the nation’s capital, this program places you inside a historic Beaux-Arts landmark known for its timeless style and modern spirit. Whether you’re perfecting the art of guest service in Rooms Division or diving into Food & Beverage operations, you’ll learn from the best while being part of a hotel team that lives and breathes hospitality.
Beyond the hotel doors, D.C. becomes your backyard. Think moonlit walks along the National Mall, weekends museum-hopping, and discovering buzzing neighbourhoods steeped in culture, history, and soul. It’s the kind of place that expands your worldview — professionally and personally.
At The Hamilton Hotel, you’ll gain real-world experience in a Forbes-rated property, build transferable skills, and soak in the energy of one of the world’s most powerful cities. You’re not just working in D.C. — you’re living it.
Ready to make your mark in a city that makes history every day? This is your moment.
