The Morrow Washington D.C. Hotel is a project by Rottet Studio + INC Architecture & Design, Inspired by the vibrant heritage of the surrounding NoMa neighborhood. Located on the last site of Central Armature Works, a 100-year-old electrical manufacturing and repair business, the hotel is deeply rooted in Washington D.C.’s history while representing a distinctly modern vision. 

The Morrow Washington D.C. Hotel brings artfully designed accommodations, fine dining, and nearly 12,000 square feet of meetings and events. The design of the public spaces, including the lobby, restaurant, cocktail lounge, and rooftop bar, creates a series of differentiated experiences from light and airy to dark and sophisticated by invoking the times of the day from morning to night. For instance, the sophisticated lobby is calm and beautiful by day and has a lively, bustling social scene for the local neighborhood at night. Custom furniture, metal, and millwork were incorporated throughout the property to achieve a high level of design and attention to detail. 

Rottet Studio managed to bring a new chapter in hospitality to an audience that values the grandeur of history, and the casual comforts of home. Additionally, the pleasures and well-being derived from strong social connections all manifest in a magical alchemy of modern and neoclassical design idioms that connect the hotel to its city and neighborhood. 

This design works so well because the hotel acts as an anchor tenant for the neighborhood, bringing artfully designed accommodations, dining by Michelin-starred Chef Nicholas Stefanelli, and unparalleled service to the heart of NoMa, one of the city’s fastest-growing creative districts.
