The Washington Business Journal walks us through a sneak peek of the renovation and repositioning of the former Savoy Suites, to the Kimpton Glover Park Hotel.
Led by BBGM, the renovation project entails a refresh of the guestrooms and public spaces, including an all-new lobby, restaurant, meeting spaces, and a 200-seat ballroom. As previously covered by Washington Business Journal, the hotel will also be home to one of DC’s hottest new rooftop venues.
An excerpt from the Washington Business Journal:
While the renovation of the rooms is complete — the hotel remained open during the revamp — some parts of the property are still a work in progress. The planned restaurant in the hotel, a coastal Italian restaurant from chef Michael Schlow, called Casolare, is set to open in July; and a 200-seat ballroom off the lobby, to be called the Walnut Room, isn’t quite finished yet. A lower-level gym space from Urban Athletic Club is also complete; hotel guests can work out there for free or join one of the classes at a discounted price, and the gym is also open to members from outside the hotel. The hotel is Kimpton’s 10th in the District and the first outside of the traditional urban core or other tourist-heavy neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill.
