U.K.-based hospitality brand YOTEL is putting down roots in Washington, DC. Following the completion of an extensive overhaul by Wimberly Interiors, YOTEL Washington DC, the brand’s maiden hotel acquisition, will debut this fall. The property will accommodate 377 chambers and more than 21,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. Additionally, the hotel will feature a revamped iteration of the city’s popular restaurant Art and Soul, and a 250-person rooftop bar and pool, Deck 11, will be unveiled in spring 2021..
Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, YOTEL Washington DC will embrace the brand’s #SmartStay protocols. These new measures include contactless check-in, increased cleaning frequency with high-grade disinfectants, and the installation of hand sanitizer stations throughout public spaces and back of the house. New audio-visual cues will also promote social distancing wherever possible.
