"This redbrick hotel with a smokestack mixes the Potomac’s industrial history with a sleek, modern design and superb location. The impressive conversion effort—it was built on the site of an incinerator—is now a National Historic Landmark, its interior filled with shades of fiery reds, yellows, and oranges. Rooms in earthy hues with dark-leather furnishings offer views of Georgetown and the river; limestone and slate bathrooms have deep soaking tubs. Degrees Bistro pairs contemporary American dishes with brick walls and steel beams; the wine bar sits in the center of the room." - CNT Editors
