Come April 1, the Hill will have a new hotel: the Liaison Capitol Hill, the first Washington site from Affinia Hotels, which has five properties in New York and Chicago. In the former Holiday Inn on the Hill space, between Union Station and the Capitol on New Jersey Avenue, the 343-room hotel is in the midst of a $12 million renovation. The proposed design, from Dawson Design of Seattle, follows a modern decor in shades of black, white, and gray accented with red, with the lobby featuring six- by six-foot paintings of famous world leaders from Mahatma Gandhi to Margaret Thatcher.The hotel will include a rooftop bar and pool, as well as 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting space broken into 10 rooms, including three boardrooms complete with LCD TVs and a kitchenette. A chef has not yet been announced for the 248-seat restaurant, which will have a private dining room and will focus on fresh and local food.
The guest rooms will feature unique design details including serpentine-shaped chaise lounges and a Mount Rushmore glass inset above the dressers, as well as a selection of six pillow options and in-room spa treatments.
