We now know which hotel nameplate will adorn the building between the Panera Bread and the Vapiano at 627 H Street NW, close to the 7th Street intersection. The new building will be branded as a Pod Hotel of which there are currently two in New York City. We’ve stayed at The Pod Hotel (51) in New York City and definitely enjoyed the shared communal spaces and affordable rates so we expect the same here in Washington DC. We first told reported on this project in June/July of last year.
A few stats are in order from the available press:
- 245 rooms on 11 floors
- rooms will be 150 square feet also known as “micro-units”
- pricing will be 20% to 25% less than market rate for standard hotel rooms
- project sized at $60 million
- no parking
- two level restaurant area
- free Capital Bikeshare is made available for guests who stay at the hotel
- planned opening is late summer/early fall of 2016
The rendering below of the finished building is also available at The Pod Hotel website:
