"Too smart to be dismissed as hip, but too cool to be grand, this hotel is instead sophisticated and timeless enough to attract all sets of the city’s global crowd. Washington, D.C., is the country’s perennial host, regularly welcoming dignitaries and activists in equal parts. Thompson’s addition—in the heart of the rapidly developing Navy Yard neighborhood, steps from Nationals Park and right by the Anacostia waterfront and marina—ties the hotel landscape together, the much-needed bridge between the presidential Hay-Adams and historic Watergate, and pulsating newcomers such as Eaton Workshop and The Line. NYC-based Parts and Labor Design did the interiors, which are streamlined and purposeful with knowing nods to the area’s maritime legacy." - CNT Editors
