Watergate Hotel History

[post_ads]The Watergate Hotel and Office Building was one of a group of five buildings that made up the Watergate complex that was the site of the 1972 Watergate Scandal. The complex was originally built between 1963 and 1971 and has been sold several times since the 1980s. In 1972, the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, located on the sixth floor of the Watergate Hotel and Office Building, were burglarized. An investigation revealed that high officials in the Nixon administration had ordered the break-in and then covered it up. The Watergate Scandal led to Richard Nixon’s resignation on August 9, 1974. Read more about Washington DC Scandals (Sex, Greed and Politics). The Watergate complex was named for its site as it sits near the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and a wooden water gate marks the point where the canal meets the Potomac River. Most of the buildings are apartments and considered highly desirable living spaces.
