The Dupont Circle Embassy Inn by Found is a boutique hotel in one of Washington D.C.’s most hip and historic neighborhoods. This was our first project for Hawkins Way Capital and their recently launched hotel brand, FOUND. The project was a unique challenge in that the renovation timeline was extremely ambitious. In only 8 short weeks from project kick-off we were able to open the first fully renovated floor to guests.
The design of the Embassy Inn aimed to make the historic building relevant to savvy modern travelers by playing up today’s trends without losing the existing charm. New exterior signage was thoughtful integrated into the the beautiful existing iron and glass canopy. Vintage materials like brass and velvet that could have been authentic to the original building were used in applications and colors that speak to today’s trends.
