Part of a transformative adaptive reuse project, this 274-key hotel blends classical nuances of stature with the vibrancy and dynamic vibe of the city’s well-established art scene. The interior envelope serves as a white canvas, while bold pops of color infuse the space with the vibrancy of the city's thriving art scene. All lobby spaces elegantly flow and functionally interconnect to support unique programmatic needs.
Lounge seating clusters form a rhythmic sequence along the two-story glazing facing Massachusetts Avenue. Each cluster sits on custom art-inspired rugs and offers views towards the city, while the reception desks and lobby and the mezzanine level meeting spaces flank the two-story space above the reception zone. Guest rooms feature a navy and neutral color palette that focuses on creating a relaxing environment for guests. Clean lines and sophisticated finishes continue the contemporary and modern feel started in the public areas.
