Charlestowne Hotels has expanded into Washington, D.C., assuming management of the 106-room Hotel Nell in the Union Market neighborhood.
“After decades of consistent expansion across secondary and tertiary markets, we’re looking forward to bringing our expertise to this dynamic property in Washington, DC,” said Kyle Hughey, CEO of Charlestowne Hotels. “Our team excels at elevating properties that embody a unique sense of place, and we’re excited to further evolve Hotel Nell, with its vibrant food and beverage offerings and desirable location, into a destination that serves as a modern, go-to retreat for both locals and visitors to DC.”
Hotel Nell is located in the historic Bolgiano Seed Factory and surrounded by restaurants, artisan shops and creative spaces, with easy access to DC’s landmarks, monuments and history. The hotel includes more than 10,000 square feet of event space, including a rooftop venue with city views, and three dining outlets, with a third venue, redesigned by Charlestowne’s food and beverage team, set to open soon.
“We believe a truly exceptional food and beverage program can become the heart of a hotel experience,” said Hughey. “At Hotel Nell, we saw an opportunity to create something bold, unexpected, and deeply rooted in place to complement the needs of the city’s diverse clientele.”
Currently, Charlestowne Hotels manages over 60 hotels and 40 food & beverage outlets across the US.
