WASHINGTON, D.C.
Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants announced the opening of Kimpton Mason & Rook Hotel—its latest lifestyle destination property—on April 28, 2016. Mason & Rook, located in D.C.'s dynamic 14th Street neighborhood, serves as an ideal starting point to enjoy the District's most popular attractions.
Mason & Rook was designed with a social scene in mind, blending the familiarly comfortable and distinctly stylish. The decor, led by Kimpton's creative director of design Ave Bradley and New York-based Bill Rooney Studio drew inspiration from the area’s tree-lined streets and brownstones.
Mason & Rook provides spacious accommodations thanks to its former life as an apartment building. The hotel features 178 rooms—some of the largest in the city—including 18 luxurious suites designed to look and feel like a friend's coveted urban apartment. Guest rooms ensure comfortable stays with plush beds, spacious work desks, large marble bathrooms with walk-in, glass enclosed rain showers.
"Kimpton's Mason & Rook Hotel is proud to be a part of the vibrant and thriving 14th Street neighborhood, drawing visitors to explore this interesting area of the District," says General Manager, Donte Johnson. "From our unique amenities and locally curated programming to our warm hospitality and excellent service, every aspect of Mason & Rook embodies the essence of a modern D.C. lifestyle."
Adjacent to the hotel is Radiator, a culinary-focused cocktail bar featuring contemporary American small plates with global influences imagined by Executive Chef Jonathan Dearden. The eclectic menu complements a dynamic beverage program by Lead Bartender Sarah Rosner.
Radiator features a 57-seat bar area, a separate 23-seat lounge area with several nooks for intimate gatherings, an outdoor 50-seat patio with a large fire pit, and a shuffleboard court and games such as backgammon, dominoes, checkers and chess available throughout the space.
For visiting and local groups, Mason & Rook offers 4,000 square feet of meeting and event space including The Exchange, a newly constructed, handsomely decorated 1,700-square-foot ballroom with two onyx backlit skylights that can accommodate up to 150 people for large events and meetings. Three smaller meeting rooms—Byrne, Marshall, and Fischer—comfortably accommodate 25 guests each.
Radiator provides catering for all events at Mason & Rook with curated menus and creative cocktails.
In addition, Mason & Rook's rooftop area is set to open May 2016. Open Memorial Day through Labor Day, the chic penthouse deck features a swimming pool, drinks and light bites by Radiator and expansive skyline views. The rooftop space will also be available for small receptions and special events.
