Donovan House – A Thompson Hotel injects an element of sensuality and sleek sophistication into the Washington Hotel scene offering a fashionable option for travelers. Throughout the property, colors in olive green, deep purple, and burgundy are paired with
clean architectural materials like alabaster, limestone and dark teak wood to create a modernized version of Washington D.C. In the lobby, platform seating with glowing alabaster panels, custom hanging egg chairs and Studio GAIA’s interpretation of the “club chair,” creates intimate conversation areas for patrons waiting to dine in the hotel’s destination restaurant or head upstairs to their guest room.
The corridors leading to the hotel’s 193 rooms feature dark aubergine walls, white doors and ceilings, and long horizontal mirrors with chrome accents.
Inside, a cocoon spiral shower blends bedroom with bathroom, creating a sexy, intimate space. A modern palate of clean white walls and dark woods with accents in deep reds, beiges and purples will add to the room’s seductiveness.
The centerpiece is a custom chocolate leather canopy bed, flanked by a round writing desk on the side and the Studio GAIA club chair at the foot of the bed.
