The Best New Hotels in the World: 2019 Hot List

"Billed as an activist hotel when it opened in 2018, this property combines the Eaton Workshop—a hub for innovators, artists and grassroots social projects—with a new-age approach to wellness and destination restaurants. Sliding doors separate the black brick exterior from the naturally-lit lobby, reportedly modeled on Swiss bus terminals from the 1960s. The influence shows in the earthy tones, swirling floor patterns and low-slung leather and velour furniture. There’s a working radio station on one side which broadcasts discussions on relevant social issues, and the check-in desk is decorated with crystals. Located downtown, it’s a five-minute stroll from the National Museum of Women in the Arts and Franklin Square Park, and only 15 minutes from the White House." - CNT Editors
