“This neoclassical church has been expertly metamorphosed into a hip hotel in Adams Morgan district, Washington. Old and new have been meshed together to create a new ironic definition of worship, glorifying style and swagger above all else. Everything from rooms to restaurants will impress.”

Hotel review

You are greeted in the lobby by a 60-foot vaulted ceiling bearing a brass pipe chandelier crafted from the organ that once played in this church. This theme of taking the building's heritage and twisting it into its modern form is echoed throughout the hotel, from the Brother and Sisters bar to the painted pews scattered around the hotel. The hotel has retained the church's position as a place of community, with 85 percent of the staff living in the district. The rooms are so thoughtfully put together that one feels almost instantly at home (if your home could ever be this stylish) and the temptation is just to stay here, but eventually the draw of the four excellent eateries and the I’ve Done Some Dastardly Things cocktails will draw you out! This was hands down the best time I have ever had in a church!
