Located in the historic Beaux Arts building, the Washington Hotel renovation mixes modern design while paying homage to the District’s past and present, with guest-room decor referencing local history and a Washington Monument-inspired minibar. The hotel’s lobby, named the “Living Room,” includes fresco art inspired by the Capitol dome and a seemingly endless mirror honoring the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial. The hotel’s meeting and event space feature custom carpeting that evokes a map of the city’s streets as well as a built-in bar and LED ceiling lights with changeable colors.
