Washington D.C. National TREASURE

TAY Following a multimillion-dollar renovation, The Dupont Circle Hotel has debuted with a statement-making, mid-century modern vibe. To perfect a new-fashioned take on 1950s glamour, parent company The Doyle Collection commissioned powerhouses Martin Brudnizki Design Studio and Clodagh Design to deliver an interior fantasy paying homage to the building’s roots. The lobby backdrops, with a dimly lit expanse of dark wood panels and marble counters morphing into a sunlit nook of textured oak furnishings surrounded by oversized U-shaped chairs. The old-school magic further unfolds at Doyle, a stylish bar overlooking Dupont Circle, and throughout the hotel’s rooms and suites. In particular, the ninth floor houses a new collection of suites, each boasting a bespoke aesthetic but sharing certain common threads, such as four-poster canopy beds, brass-trimmed nightstands, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The majority of these penthouse-level accommodations open to heated balconies with views of the D.C. skyline, some of which extend as far as the Washington Monument.
