2014 GOLD KEY AWARDS

BEST GUEST ROOM - UPSCALE

WINNER

HOTEL GEORGE,
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Designer: CBT, Boston
THE CHALLENGE: Win bipartisan support from
world travelers and the Capitol Hill neighborhood for a sophisticated hotel with
a revolutionary spirit.
THE INSIDE STORY: George Washington never

slept here, but his imprint is all over the hotel's
139 guest rooms. His general's uniform is the
basis for the blue, brown and beige palette and
also for details, like the buttons on the beds'
accent pillows. The bed throw incorporates the
white service stripe sewn on the left sleeve of
the uniform coats designating a soldier who
had served for three years during the Revolutionary War. In recognition of the first President's
embrace of new ideas, these rooms aren't afraid
to mix in the modernity of ergonomic Eamesinspired chairs or Impressionist-style portraits of
George and Martha Washington.
THE SHOWSTOPPER: The parchment and ink
graphic wallpaper and carpeting that depict
his hand-written inaugural address (which the
design team obtained from the National Archives
and Records Administration).
THE TAKEWAY: Unite all the players. Proactive
input from the general contractor at the outset
showed how the design could work. Early collaboration with the millworker allowed for efficient
installation of the custom-designed closet and
minibar into the framework of a 1928 building.
The client was involved at a detailed level
throughout the design process, frequently testing
materials and products within their existing
operational systems and giving comprehensive
feedback allowing the design team to provide
highly functional pieces while maintaining the
design intent.
