The YOTEL brand expands its East Coast footprint beyond New York City and Boston with a new opening planned for Washington, D.C. this fall. The YOTEL brand is known for its modern, tech-forward design and unique social settings.
YOTEL overtakes a current property to create YOTEL, Washington, D.C., transforming all existing guestrooms into signature YOTEL “cabins.” The lobby gets a tech-forward upgrade, with self-service check-in kiosks for a more efficient check-in experience. The hotel’s 21,000 square feet of meeting and event space also receives an upgrade. When complete, the hotel will offer more than 400 guestrooms.
The property’s current Art and Soul restaurant remains, with a few slight changes to both décor and menu. The rooftop terrace receives new life as well, resulting in one of the largest rooftops and pool decks in the area.
“We are part of a progressive culture and movement here on The Hill and we’re incredibly proud to be the first hotel to usher in a new generation of YOTEL travel experiences to complement this evolving neighborhood,” said Shawn Jervis, general manager, YOTEL Washington, D.C. “YOTEL is at the forefront of innovation, hospitality and design and we look forward to showing visitors a fresh way to stay on Capitol Hill.”
“Our rapid global expansion is very exciting and further asserts our prominence in the United States and on the world stage. We have a proven track record operating globally with hotels in many of the key feeder markets to Washington — Boston, New York, San Francisco and Europe,” added Hubert Viriot, CEO, YOTEL. “Furthermore, the hotel offering in Washington is fairly traditional and YOTEL is ready to introduce our cleverly designed cabins ideal for short and long stays.”
