Project Description:
Honoring the legacy of one of Washington D.C.’s most storied hotels, //3877 led the transformation of Phoenix Park Hotel with an $8 million renovation that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary sophistication. Originally envisioned by famed developer Harry Wardman in the 1920s, the refreshed design respects the integrity of the original architecture while introducing modern amenities tailored for today’s travelers. The team restored the original crown moldings, converted underutilized spaces, and integrated elegant new furnishings, allowing the hotel to balance its rich heritage with a fresh, inviting atmosphere.

The redesigned public spaces create a more intuitive guest experience, with a reimagined lobby that fosters connection and convenience. By removing the oversized registration desk and incorporating flexible seating with charging stations, the space caters to both business and leisure travelers. The second-floor lounge has also been transformed into a multifunctional setting, offering a relaxed café ambiance by day and an intimate cocktail setting by night. Throughout the hotel, a curated mix of traditional Irish artwork, custom casegoods, and luxurious finishes unify the various additions to the historic structure while reinforcing a sense of place.

In the guest rooms and suites, //3877 carefully selected materials that elevate comfort and style. Custom lacquered nightstands, herringbone-patterned luxury vinyl flooring, and marble countertops create a refined yet approachable aesthetic. The design also celebrates Phoenix Park Hotel’s Irish roots, with clear visual connections to the adjacent Dubliner Pub and a collection of historic Washington D.C. photography that anchors the hotel within its iconic surroundings. The result is a cohesive, elevated hospitality experience that pays homage to the past while embracing the future.
