New York-based interior designer Tony Chi has revamped the 220-room Park Hyatt Washington, D.C.
Chi, who specializes in elite international hotels and restaurants, last completed a full redesign of the entire luxury hotel in 2006. This new update includes 216 guestrooms, which include deluxe king and deluxe double rooms, as well as junior suites.
With bright, spring colors, the hotel’s new guestroom design features rich woods, gold accents, and custom glasswork by photographic glass artist Amanda Weil.
The color palate includes denim blues, caramel, and blue-grey hues. The new design also now features 100% natural vegetable fiber (grass cloth) wall coverings, custom-designed plaid wool rugs, and rich walnut wood platform beds complete with leather headboards and reading lights. Custom-designed daybeds, complete with walnut wood platform bases, upholstered benches, and leather-wrapped arms and back can be found in deluxe rooms and junior suites.
The deluxe rooms feature large social tables with inlaid cherry blossom glass art by Weil. The junior suites also have new walnut wood flooring and cherry blossom glass-topped desks also by Weil. Room accents in the junior suites include antique game boards and a selection of hardcover books highlighting American crafts and heritage.
Deluxe rooms feature spa-inspired, basalt-tiled bathrooms. King bathrooms feature a large walk-in rainfall shower, and the double bathrooms feature large bathtubs. Junior suites, some of the largest in the city at 544-square-feet, also have oversized spa-inspired bathrooms with limestone-tiled rain showers and deep soaking tubs.
The hotel carries out the spring-inspired concept throughout to its Michelin-starred restaurant Blue Duck Tavern. The restaurant will soon introduce new culinary events including a seasonal garden table, an outdoor, communal chef’s table experience, rooftop garden, and a garden-inspired cocktail series, which will feature fresh elements from local farms. In late April, the hotel will feature an exclusive collection of spring-like art from The Phillips Collection, the country’s first museum of modern art, on the hotel’s mezzanine level.
