The hotel’s connection to nature, an inspiration taken from the neighborhood’s namesake – Charles Carroll Glover – who helped shape the city’s most iconic parks, is reflected throughout thanks to world renowned artist Michele Oka Doner’s design vision, blending a metropolitan edge with familial comfort and tranquility. A plethora of surrounding green spaces and parks, coupled with Oka Doner’s proclivity for abstract organic art combine to create an aesthetic that is both youthful and sophisticated, perfect for those seeking an upscale getaway. Guests will be greeted by thoughtful design pieces including a custom map of Rock Creek Park on the property’s eight-story façade, original mixed-media artwork and handmade light fixtures by the artist herself and a variety of natural textiles throughout the communal spaces.
Glover Park Hotel features ample accommodations that will be similarly enveloped in a calming green and white botanical color scheme, punctuated with luxurious wood finishes and playful accents. Twenty-five of the 154 premier guest rooms feature unobstructed views of the National Mall and Potomac River, a treat for anyone longing to relish the iconic sites. In addition, those who desire extra time in the nation’s capital will appreciate the 21 fully equipped kitchenette rooms, each of which include a small refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, dishes, glassware and utensils. Guests can rest easy with completely reappointed light-filled rooms, memory foam beds, Doner’s custom artwork and modern work desks.
Inside the hotel is Casolare, a new restaurant helmed by acclaimed Chef Michael Schlow who was named “Best Chef in the Northeast” by the James Beard Foundation and operates the popular Riggsby restaurant in the hotel’s sister property, Kimpton Carlyle Hotel Dupont Circle. The 156-seat restaurant will open in July and offer coastal Italian fare with food from the regions of Amalfi, Sardinia, Puglia, Cinque Terre and Livorno including antipasti, wood stone-fired pizzas and a wide selection of seafood. Overnight guests can experience Casolare’s home-style Italian cuisine through room service.
Committed to elevating the property for guests and locals alike, Kimpton partnered with Graham King’s Urban Athletic Club to create a unique boutique-style signature fitness experience, encompassing over 2,000 square feet. It will offer guests and local residents state-of-the-art equipment, facilities and daily access to the city’s most sought-after fitness trainers and classes including the signature Urban Athlete Class, which combines strength, cardio and core into a comprehensive, total body workout.
