Mint House makes its debut in Washington, DC

Mint House has expanded to Washington, DC, with the opening of 1010 Vermont. The former 11-story office building, now transformed into a boutique apartment hotel, is home to 85 units ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments.

In-room amenities include fully equipped kitchens, smart thermostats, free WiFi and living areas. The property’s common area features a fitness center, grab-and-go station, rentable meeting space and a lounge with game tables and TVs. Mint House purposefully retained key elements of the building’s 1920s aesthetic.

The property is located two blocks from the White House and the National Mall and close to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the Library of Congress. Dupont Circle is nearby.

“We’re thrilled to open our doors and join the community in Washington, DC, a city that blends rich history with a vibrant and modern culture,” said Christian Lee, CEO, Mint House. “Much like the city itself, the transformation of 1010 Vermont reflects our deep commitment to preserving the historical character of iconic buildings while breathing new life into the spaces for modern-day needs. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests with our unparalleled experiences for years to come.”

Formerly known as The Denrike Building, 1010 Vermont was designed by local architect Appleton P. Clark Jr. and built in 1926, earning historic landmark status in 2016. To date, Mint House operates boutique hotels out of multiple historic buildings, such as the company’s Nashville property, Mint House at The Reserve, a former Federal Reserve Building, and New York City property, 70 Pine, a former office building built in the 1930s

This will be Mint House’s second opening this year, following the recent opening of The Dylin, located in Madison, WI, with further debuts expected in 2025.
