"Part of the CityCenterDC development and designed by Herzog & de Meuron, this sleek, modern hotel features 360 serene rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows (some offering Capitol-dome views) and a dramatic central atrium crowned by a skylight that fills public spaces with natural light. Sustainability is a focus: the property achieved LEED Gold thanks to features like a vegetated rooftop that filters and recycles rainwater for the building’s cooling systems, third-floor terraces with green space, and partnerships with food-donation organizations to reduce waste." - Laura Dannen Redman, Nicholas DeRenzo
