The Darcy, Curio Collection by Hilton will open
in mid-2017
Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the signing of The Darcy,
Curio Collection by Hilton, a global portfolio of distinctive upper
upscale hotels that caters to travelers in search of local
discovery and authentic experiences. The Darcy, Curio Collection by
Hilton, is slated to open in mid-2017.
The 226-room hotel is in the heart of Washington, D.C., just off
Scott Circle. Only three blocks from Dupont Circle and Logan
Circle, and six blocks from the White House, The Darcy’s central
location will allow guests to easily visit the city’s many
monuments, attractions and museums, including the Verizon Center
and Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.
“We’re excited to sign with KHP Capital Partners for our first
Curio Collection hotel in our Nation’s Capital,” said Matt
Wehling, senior vice president, development – North America,
Hilton. “The Darcy’s ideal location, within walking distance to
Washington, D.C.’s major attractions, will be a huge draw for
guests desiring an authentic, high-energy and high-quality
experience that reflects and enhances Scott Circle, making it a
perfect fit for the collection.”
The Darcy will feature a timeless yet edgy design, focusing on
clean and classic architecture with accents of distressed metals
and bright colors. Subtle cherry blossom patterns and abstract
artwork of magnolias will connect the hotel to D.C. As with all
Curio properties, The Darcy will reflect the local spirit of its
community, embodying the sophistication and energy of
Washington.
“The Darcy will offer unparalleled, personalized service in the
most convenient of locations in Washington, D.C.,” said Tobias
Arff, general manager of The Darcy. “Our location is ideal no
matter your reason for visiting – whether visiting the White House
and the National Mall, heading to meetings on K Street or looking
for inspiration from one of the new hot spots on 14th Street
Corridor.”
Chefs Robert Wiedmaier and Brian McBride created the hotel’s
restaurant, Siren, which will feature locally sourced ingredients
paired with the world’s freshest seafood. Lil’ B, an intimate
coffee shop and eatery, will be led by celebrity Chef David Guas,
who brings his New Orleans style to the cafe. Additional amenities
will include a fitness center, business services, room service,
valet parking, concierge services and programming with business and
leisure travelers in mind.
The approximately 5,500 square feet of meeting space, which will
allow for flexible room sizes and include contemporary,
state-of-the-art audio visual options, will make The Darcy a
well-situated choice for meetings and events in the center of
Washington, D.C. The hotel is a ten-minute walk from Metro stations
at Dupont Circle and McPherson Square and three miles from Ronald
Reagan Washington National Airport.
“As home to so many important cultural institutions and a
blossoming restaurant and nightlife scene, Washington, D.C. is a
natural choice for expansion of the Curio Collection,” said Mark
Nogal, global head of Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “The Darcy
will provide a stylish alternative to the local area in addition to
providing guests with a memorable hotel experience all with the
reassurance of the Hilton name.”
