WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 19, 2018) – Hamilton Hotel Washington, D.C., an iconic 318-room art deco property at 14th and K Streets, announced today details to transform into an independent, modern luxury hotel, with enhancements rolling out this fall and a full completion expected by spring 2019. The refurbishments will capture the unique essence of Washington, D.C. and offer a superior new guest experience, including a re-designed lobby and newly concepted restaurant and bar. The hotel will also unveil exclusive partnerships around new staff uniforms, themed guest suites and elevated guest amenities.

“We’re thrilled to transform Hamilton Hotel Washington, D.C. in an effort to offer guests a stay that is authentic, comfortable and luxurious, with superior amenities, a sophisticated culinary scene and high-tech offerings,” said Mark J. Driscoll, Managing Director. “As an independent hotel, we have the ability to create unique, thoughtful experiences, services and offerings that celebrate the distinctive personality of Washington, D.C.”

Originally designed by the renowned French-born architect Jules-Henrí de Sibour in 1922, Hamilton Hotel boasts an iconic history as an acclaimed hot spot in the 1930s and 40s and the site of many past Inaugural Balls. The lobby redesign transforms the prominent entrance space by embracing its original history and ornate Beaux-Arts architectural style, while incorporating modern luxury and comfort.

The lobby’s interiors, both art and furniture, are inspired by the refined and avant-garde taste of many prominent American families of the 1930s, such as the Rockefellers.

The hotel’s new lobby will also feature an intimate lounge bar that is hidden by day and revealed to patrons as the clock strikes happy hour. Part bar, part meeting place and part library, the exclusive space hints at de Sibour’s early life as a member of Yale’s Skull and Bones Society.

Hamilton Hotel will also transform its existing lobby-level 14K restaurant and bar and introduce an entirely new dining concept based on the traditional Osteria.

Hamilton Hotel will enhance each of its contemporary guestrooms and, in collaboration with exclusive new partners, create several themed suites that capture the unique essence of Washington, D.C.

Hamilton Hotel Washington, D.C. is located at 1001 14th Street, NW, minutes from many of the city’s popular sites and monuments and offers more than 6,700 square feet of meeting and events space. The hotel is listed on the D.C. Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. For more information, visit hamiltonhoteldc.com or call (202) 682-0111.
