While honoring its historic roots, the hotel continues to cement itself as a modern luxury locale with a playful take on D.C.’s political past and new guest experiences. Brooklyn-based artist Amit Greenberg’s work has become an essential part of the hotel’s DNA. Neon signs, cheeky wallpaper, and other whimsical accents are a refreshing addition to the lobby, while guest rooms tout Greenberg’s cherry blossom-adorned headboards and floor-to-ceiling murals in premier suites.
