"The Kimpton Banneker Hotel honors Benjamin Banneker's contributions to the city. Mason Studio's design provides a backdrop for bold artwork, including a lobby mural by Victor Ekpuk. The hotel partners with Black Artists of DC for a rotating exhibition of work by local artists of color. Its rooftop bar, named Lady Bird, is a favorite among locals, offering a convivial space and a nod to the city’s official bird." - Ann Shields
