Where Bold Design Meets Historic Charm

Building upon a renewed narrative and identity, the interior design of this upscale boutique hotel strikes a refined balance between boldness and simplicity. It thoughtfully restores and highlights lost architectural elements of the original building, celebrating its historic character while introducing a fresh, modern spirit.

Located in one of Washington, D.C.’s most iconic neighborhoods, the hotel is where hip meets historic—a warm, inviting oasis that serves as a personal sanctuary where guests can breathe, work, play, and simply be.

With a blend of rich textures and relaxed formality, the design contrasts beautifully with the stately surroundings of the city. Every detail has been carefully curated and intentionally simplified to offer what today’s travelers crave most: peace and respite—true luxuries amid the energy of the capital.
