Canopy by Hilton D.C Wharf Hotel

Hotel interior design photography for the design firm Sawyer &Co at the Canopy By Hilton located at The Wharf in Washington D.C.

Long before Washington, D.C., became a political stronghold, it was known for its robust waterfront. NY firm Sawyer & Co channeled this legacy when designing the Canopy by Hilton D.C Wharf Hotel. The brand’s first hotel stateside invigorates the district’s up-and-coming Southwest region, a stone’s throw from the famed Municipal Fish Market, the country’s oldest open-air seafood bazaar.

White oak and blackened steel stairs lead from the ground-floor lobby to a lower lobby, marked by a Design Within Reach sofa and table, AFRA chairs, and a hand-tufted area rug by Innovatives.

The hospitality design firm was inspired by the transformation of the marina and the fish market over time. For the 175-room hotel and its main public space Canopy Central, the designers focused on nautical materials like weathered oak and steel that recall docks and warehouses. Guestrooms feature custom inset carpeting with patterns resembling dappled waves, along with canopies that wittily reference fish crates. A large artwork of a fisherman featured on whitewashed bead board is located in a nook boasting a granite fireplace and custom lounge chairs.

Custom counter stools pull up to a butcher-block and zinc bar underneath a ceiling featuring slices of aluminum and walnut veneer with Arteriors and Restoration Hardware pendants at the Canopy Central Bistro & Bar.

Queen guestrooms feature integrated back walls and canopies made of gray washed Ceruse Oak with LED trip lighting, along with JLF daybeds and Chapman floor lamps.

A Misty Black granite counter defines the perimeter of the rooftop Whiskey Charlie bar, with Allermuir stools and chairs and Marset pendants. Whiskey Charlie, the rooftop bar, offers views of East Potomac Park and the Potomac River.
