Mayflower Renaissance Hotel Washington, DCThe Grand Dame of D.C. hotels is updating her look. The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel is entering the final phase of a top-to-bottom renovation, with all 583 rooms and 74 suites scheduled for a stylish makeover starting October 16, 2014. Open for business during the project, the construction will take place floor by floor, minimizing the impact to the guest experience and is slated for completion by February 2015.

“As we welcome the next generation of traveler, we’re very keen to stay connected to our illustrious past,” said John Montano, general manager of The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel. “From presidential inaugural speeches to occasions of intrigue and scandal, The Mayflower has set the stage for Washington’s influencers through the decades. The renovation will pay homage to our past while dressing the hotel up in grand style for the future.”

All public spaces have already been re-imagined, including nearly 43,000 sf of non-traditional configurable conference and events space across 27 rooms, with the notable addition of the 3,000-sf Promenade Ballroom. In December 2012, the hotel opened Edgar Bar & Kitchen, a popular American brasserie.

The distinctive new room designs and finishes take inspiration from the hotel’s royal past while emphasizing its present day relevance and vitality. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Historic Hotels of America, The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel is known for its sense of style and elegance. Using a crisp palette of neutral grays accented with regal purple, each room will feature sleek contemporary finishes energized by vibrant art work and vintage-inspired black and white marble bathrooms accented with warm wood.

Guests will be treated to a wall of fame, a wallpaper recreation of the hotel’s guest book behind the bed, complete with artistic versions of signatures of famous guests including President John F. Kennedy, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh and J. Edgar Hoover. Each room will be outfitted with a 36-inch, flat-screen TV, high-speed wireless Internet, an ergonomic work area and an iPod docking station.
