Bona Fide Chicness

The stylish W Hotel (515 15th Street), former site of the Hotel Washington, will open on July 8 and begin taking reservations on or after July 16.
 
A boutique hotel in the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide operation, the opulent brand is known for its cool rooms, signature restaurants, destination bars and spas. The Downtown W will not disappoint. The 317-room hotel has already nabbed world-famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who will open a new concept, J&G Steakhouse. Bliss, the spa people known for mixing beauty and brownies (absolutely no carrot sticks!), will open its first Washington location.

The W will include a rooftop bar and terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness center and fully wired rooms. Cats and dogs that weigh 40 pounds or less are allowed—for a fee.
