“Capitol Hill is the heartbeat of our city, and the neighborhood has inspired us to create a singular DC destination,” said Meade Atkeson, area general manager of the brand’s regional portfolio which also includes The Royal Sonesta Washington, DC Dupont Circle and The Royal Sonesta Harbor Court, Baltimore. “The hotel has a clean modern design, and combines localized individuality with impeccable service, qualities for which the Royal Sonesta brand is known.”
The pet-friendly hotel pays homage to its location with art installations that reference its surroundings, including portraits of Supreme Court Justices, news clippings and political motifs. Amenities include a fitness center and private yoga studio, filtered water stations and EV charging stations.
The property also features the multipurpose Sonesta Work Suite, an experiential meeting space concept that provides a multizone and tech-enabled meeting experience, as well as a 3,100-sq.-ft. ballroom and 2,400-sq.-ft. conference center, both located on the penthouse level with private terraces and panoramic city views overlooking several national monuments. KNEAD Hospitality + Design will provide food & beverage services in the new 200-seat French restaurant Bistro Du Jour on the hotel’s main level with a bar and lounge and outdoor café.
