WASHINGTON, D.C. and MCLEAN, Va. – A stylish, contemporary hotel located just six blocks from the White House and around the corner from the trendy 14th Street corridor is the newest member of the exclusive Curio Collection by HiltonTM, the global portfolio of upper upscale independent hotels and resorts.
The Darcy Washington D.C., Curio Collection by Hilton, joins the rapidly-growing collection brand of locally authentic hotels as its first property in the nation's capital. A destination unto itself not far from the cosmopolitan Logan Circle neighborhood, The Darcy – which takes its name from a well-dressed and well-traveled fictional character – is a short walk from four Metro stations and D.C.'s noted landmarks and monuments.
"The Darcy Washington D.C. is as eclectic and remarkable as the District it serves, delivering a truly authentic experience for guests looking for one-of-a-kind discoveries," said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton and Tapestry Collection by Hilton. "Newly recreated, The Darcy exudes the spirit of its destination as do all Curio Collection by Hilton hotels, particularly through its unique ambience and local partnerships."
Visitors are drawn to the singular lobby, which has been fashioned to approximate a handsomely restored yet purposeful living room, with such classic architectural touches as rose carvings on wooden archways, honeycomb-panel flooring, black-painted exposed brick and patterned wallpaper. Displayed throughout the hotel's 226 guest rooms and public spaces are numerous contemporary artworks – ranging from botanical photographs to abstract sculptures and prints – that pay homage to Washington's rich history.
"The Darcy – like Washington, D.C. – is stately and contemporary, delighting guests with its distinctive flair and thoughtful comforts," said Tobias Arff, general manager, The Darcy Washington, D.C., Curio Collection by Hilton. "By joining Curio Collection, we will be free to have an independent spirit while enhancing it with Hilton's globally-recognized services and reputation."
The Darcy Washington D.C., Curio Collection by Hilton, is owned by KHP Capital Partners and managed by Sage Hospitality.
