WASHINGTON – Since opening its doors in 2006, Kimpton Hotel Palomar Washington DC has become a vibrant, urban locale within the Dupont Circle neighborhood. This spring, as it completes a multimillion-dollar redesign to all 335 guest rooms and suites, public spaces and meeting and event spaces, plus the alluring addition of a brand new Bridal Suite, Kimpton Palomar DC’s energy is coupled with a newly undeniable edge and artistic feel that pulses through every space.
Kimpton Hotel Palomar DC’s new bold and handsome look, devised by Powerstrip Studios, was inspired by the hotel’s close proximity to Georgetown and surrounding universities and art galleries. With a proud, preppy color palette that befits the confident D.C. crowd, the hotel’s refreshing design creates bright, chic spaces where light freely flows.
Guests will first notice the change in Kimpton Hotel Palomar DC’s engaging living room, updated with comfortable, modern design and a fresh approach to color and pattern with sky blues and lemony yellows. Combined with unexpected art pieces installed when the hotel first opened, the relaxed, understated space allows for creative minds to linger and discuss political discourse, recent gallery showings or simply enjoy Kimpton’s nightly hosted wine hour or morning coffee by the glowing marble fireplace.
In the hotel’s guest rooms, modern interior architectural pieces outfit the spaces, punctuated with pops of marigold, union blue and oxford white. The timeless Georgetown gray wood platform beds are complimented by crisp, bright throw pillows and drapes with multicolored striped grosgrain. Industrial, but chic metal wire light fixtures and preppy herringbone tweed lounge chairs accent the rooms handsomely. Artwork is fresh and minimalistic with a large framed black and white study of positive and negative space hangs above each bed and preppy silhouettes of man’s best friend near the entry. No design detail was missed, as even the rooms’ ceilings are accented with hand-painted silver lines that frame the perimeters and bespoke geometric carpets in taupe with large-scale, creative blue doodles overtop. Smart quartz workspaces outfitted with built-in power plugs and plush ergonomic chairs face the windows from which guests can view the active cityscape.
Kimpton Hotel Palomar DC’s 26 luxurious Executive, Spa and Presidential Suites have been redesigned in the same finishes as the guest rooms with additional artwork, accents and space with one- and two- bedroom options that have separate living and sleeping quarters. All guest bathrooms feature quartz stone top vanities with splayed black legs, modern, geometric wallpaper accented with hanging, dimmable wire light fixtures above and refinished Bianco Perla Italian marble tiles below with some suites offering separate glass enclosed showers and jetted Fuji bathtubs.
In addition to refinishing the hotel’s well-loved suites, due to its popularity with wedding parties, Kimpton Hotel Palomar DC also added a brand new Bridal Suite, perfect for starting any day filled with wedded bliss. In the signature two-room suite, the same smart color scheme is present, but with added amenities specifically designed for wedding day preparations – a sparkling framed full-length mirror, picture-perfect wall hooks for wedding gowns with an artistic “something blue” accent and a two-seat Parsons table vanity with additional power outlets, tri-fold decorative mirrors and clear ghost chairs positioned near the windows for plenty natural light optimal for styling hair and applying make-up.
Both couples and businesses can head downstairs to use Kimpton Hotel Palomar DC’s 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space, which completed a redesign in early 2015. The seven spaces can host gatherings ranging from ten to 300 guests with Italian cuisine expertly prepared by executive chef Ethan McKee of adjacent restaurant Urbana Dining & Drinks and handsome decor accents drawing heavily on inspiration of local universities and galleries for which the rooms are named.
