Watergate complex, Mixed-use building complex in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C., United States.

The Watergate complex is a mixed-use development in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C., consisting of six interconnected buildings with sweeping curved walls and balconies that face the Potomac River. The structures house apartments, offices, a hotel, shops, and dining spaces arranged around landscaped courtyards and plazas.

In June 1972, burglars entered the Democratic National Committee offices within the complex, triggering an investigation that eventually forced President Nixon to resign in August 1974. The event reshaped American politics and led to new laws on campaign finance and government accountability.

The name comes from the old locks of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, visible from the site. Since 1972 the suffix "-gate" has been attached by journalists to controversies worldwide, from Iran-Contra to scandals far outside the United States.

The grounds are accessible from street level, with pathways connecting the different buildings and public areas open for walking. Its location near the Kennedy Center and Georgetown Waterfront makes it a convenient stop for visitors exploring multiple attractions along the river.

Architect Luigi Moretti designed the curved lines to mirror the flow of the nearby Potomac River. The balconies follow this flowing pattern, creating a wave-like silhouette that is especially noticeable when viewed from the water.
