Reflecting the transformation of the Marriott brand, their new Capitol Hill hotel delivers imaginative contemporary design with crisp streamlined architecture and decor. The design intent continues with the inspired use of hand-crafted wall finishes by Senza Finé.
This sophisticated 235-room hotel is a true urban retreat situated within the recently developed NoMa Center, just walking distance to the US Capitol. The hotel’s design by Akseizer Design Group utilizes materials which are polished and refined, combining with angular forms to embody the chic and elegant style of D.C.
Armourcoat Sculptural in the ‘Quench’ design was expertly installed by Senza Finé’s craftsman in the lobby bar, to produce a bold, crisp wall finish with sharp angled surfaces. The large-scale geometric design creates a cell shaded effect with varying levels of shadow intensity. Armourcoat Sculptural offers a seamless three-dimensional wall covering, adding depth and grandeur to any space. Each of the 27 designs is created using a combination of traditional hand sculpting and Computer Aided Design to ensure total accuracy during installation whilst retaining the essence of hand crafting.
The specification also includes over 500 square feet of Armourcoat polished plaster finishes within some of the guest suites, together with columns on the second floor and entrance to Yara, the rooftop restaurant and bar. A natural mineral material, polished plaster is a hand-applied finish composed of hydrated lime and crushed marble to create surfaces with the look and feel of natural stone.
