CapStar Hotels commissioned Bowie Gridley Architects to create a new street identity for the Latham Hotel – an upscale hotel in historic Georgetown, and to renovate its acclaimed signature restaurant, Michel Richard’s Citronelle.

• BGA coordinated a diverse team of HVAC, Food Service, and Interior Design consultants to meet a fast-paced schedule
• To create visibility for the Hotel on Georgetown’s busiest “M Street” corridor, the design team added colorful awnings to street windows and a glass awning over the vehicle entrance to the hotel
• An entrance vestibule was created to provide an energy-efficient airlock for the hotel’s lobby

BGA was asked to design a glass-enclosed connector linking new rooms with the main reception area.

• A rounded garden designed in collaboration with  landscape architect Lewis Scully Gionet contrast with the rectangular geometry of the connector
• The pavilion features a locking system that allows the public to pass through, while providing security for hotel guests.

BGA also provided architecture and interior design services for the hotel’s Fitness Club.

• Located on the lowest level are a two-lane 60-foot lap pool, a  jacuzzi, lounge area and massage rooms
• The mid-level weight training room contains Nautilus equipment, free weights and a fitness testing room
• On the top level, a bridge connection links the reception and aerobic exercise areas of the club directly to the hotel.
