PB hotel design editorial

Riggs National Bank built its flagship headquarters at 900 F Street NW in 1891, commissioning James G. Hill to design a Richardsonian Romanesque block of rusticated granite whose arched windows and corbelled cornice made it one of the most architecturally imposing addresses in Penn Quarter. The bank that once held Abraham Lincoln's personal account and financed the purchase of Alaska operated here for over a century before closing its doors — leaving behind one of Washington's great commercial interiors, which Lore Group converted into Riggs Washington DC in 2020, with interiors by Roman and Williams. Roman and Williams, the New York studio behind the Ace Hotel New York, brought their characteristic layering of historical register and contemporary ease to 181 rooms dressed in terracotta-washed walls, swirling botanical headboards upholstered in floral velvet, studded steamer-trunk minibars, and geometric Greek-key rugs in burnt orange. The lobby preserves its original coffered plasterwork ceiling and fluted columns, now grounded by a deep-blue geometric carpet and a brass-framed reception desk centered beneath a station clock. The ground-floor bar — called P.C.H. — makes the most compelling argument for the renovation: green-veined marble columns, antiqued mirror arches behind a brass back bar, and oxblood leather barstools arranged along a white marble counter, the whole room carrying the atmosphere of a Gilded Age financial institution that has decided, finally, to have a very good time.

"I just wrapped up an amazing 2-night stay at this hotel, and I can’t say enough about the incredible team here! From reservations to the front desk especially Iliana and Mohamed the restaurant crew, and housekeeping, every single person went above and beyond. Truly exceptional service all around!"

"Terrible customer service and policies at this hotel. If your flight is canceled and even if you booked a "flexible" stay, this hotel will simply deny any type of credit and tell you too bad. Their customer service reps are robots that repeat the same thing and over and don't even engage in the substance of the matter. It's a mistake to believe this chain is "five stars", when it's customer service anything but that. A disappointment."

"The Riggs is a beautiful, classy boutique hotel with a viby lobby bar and restaurant that was open with full menu late on a Sunday. The location can’t be beat if you’re in town for an event, especially anything at Capital One Arena. The area is walkable and full of great restaurants and shops. The guest rooms are well appointed, the bed was extremely comfortable and everything was incredibly clean. The staff were friendly and kind. We stayed with 8 other couples in town for Matt Rife and everyone enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be returning. No reason to try other hotels when you find one you love. We booked directly through the hotel for the best rate!"
