What you're near — and what you're not
- Penn Quarter & Chinatown dining
- The National Mall (short walk)
- Metro Center / Gallery Place Metro
- Georgetown (a ride away)
- Quiet residential charm — this is downtown
What you're paying for
Design-led rooms across several tiers, plus wellness and co-working spaces and the Wild Days rooftop bar. The hotel leans into culture and programming, so the public spaces are as much a part of the stay as the rooms.
