Canopy by Hilton Says Hello to the Heart of Washington, D.C.

MCLEAN, Va. - Canopy by Hilton, Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) lifestyle hotel brand, announced today the opening of Canopy by Hilton Washington DC | Embassy Row. Owned and operated by The Bernstein Companies, the eight-story, 154-room upper upscale property is nestled in the historic Embassy Row neighborhood between popular Dupont and Logan Circles, just minutes from many of DC’s famous museums, local restaurants and bars, premier shopping and beautiful green spaces.

“We are pleased to bring Canopy to the heart of our nation’s capital,” said Gary Steffen, global head, Canopy by Hilton. “This hotel tells the story of DC’s diverse identity and will attract locals and travelers alike with this eclectic art program and fun restaurant concept.”

Locally Inspired Design

Canopy Washington DC | Embassy Row’s design is inspired by the capital’s iconic architecture and history, Embassy Row’s diverse cultures and the laidback atmosphere among DC locals. The design mixes concrete finishes that echo the national monuments around town with Canopy’s signature color palette of orange, wood tones and natural hues. 

The hotel’s whimsical collection of art features exaggerated proportions and lively pops of color. Guests will begin enjoying the works upon arrival with a signature entrance piece, a face composition made up of smaller faces from many backgrounds and ages, that highlights the city’s diverse and inclusive culture and engages guests with an emotionally fulfilling dialogue.

“Having owned and managed hotels in the DC area since the 1980s, we are delighted to bring Canopy to life in Embassy Row as a true reflection of the local neighborhood,” said Davin Driskill, senior vice president of TBC Hotels. 

Eat. Drink. Smile.

The first-floor restaurant, Truno, is inspired by the Icelandic idea of having a “Truno,” which is the act of sharing stories with friends or strangers over drinks. Its open atmosphere and global menu enable guests and locals to experience great stories, colorful cultures and local flavors. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the bar stays open late with a cocktail and bites menu.

A signature of the Canopy by Hilton brand, the hotel hosts a complimentary tasting each evening showcasing local drinks and bites. The hotel’s staff has also been trained by Proprietors LLC, the training arm of the renowned Death & Co. bar chain, as part of Canopy by Hilton’s brand partnership.
