Willard InterContinental Washington
Hotel description
Willard InterContinental Washington, located in Washington's heart on the famous Pennsylvania Avenue, which connects the Capitol and the White House, not just the feschenelle hotel, but the real sight of the city, the pearls in the crown of the American capital. From here on to the White House, Esplanads, the city ' s largest museums, the National Theatre and other famous cultural centres in Washington, but the hotel itself is certainly one of these places. Since 1850, to which the hotel is based, there have been so many important historical events, that the famous American writer, Nathaniel Gothorne, describing the political kitchen of the Civil War, has rightly noticed that a hotel with a great right can be considered the centre of Washington and the Union than the Capitol or the White House.
Not only did the famous American culture and powerful politicians stop here, but there were many significant events that had shaped the history of the United States. This is where Abraham Lincoln was hiding in front of the inauguration for the presidency because of the threat of the assassination. And this is where he made the last attempt to negotiate with the confederate authorities. In the lobby of the hotel, President Grant used to sit behind the bottle of whiskey, taking the business people he used to call "lobbists," from here to the term “lobbing”. In addition to all the American Presidents (from Franklin Pierce in 1853 to George Bush Junior), the hotel hosted Martin Luther King, Marc Twen, Finias Barnum, Harry Gudini and many other guests.
However, it would be incorrect to think that the hotel lived exclusively with its glory past. Fenomen Willard InterContinental Washington is precisely that, while retaining its unrepetitive historical collar, combining elements of different ages and styles, the hotel develops and becomes a " real house away from home " for many current guests. The modern building of the hotel was built in 1904 on the project of the famous architect Henry Hardenberg, who was involved in the creation of the monumental master of Ar Deco Hotel Waldorf-Astoria in New York. The 12-story body of the Beaux-Arts of Napoleon III offers guests of hotel 334 numbers, spa-centre I Spa at the Willard,
The interiors of both hotel rooms and lolls are based on a skilled combination of different styles and directions: the traditional federal style, the style of the Victorian era, the Beaux-Arts, the decorative elements of the sixteenth century coexist, complementing and enriching each other, organically aligning with the modern technical buttresses. After a multi-year restoration, the hotel reopened its doors in 1986, as if it reversed the wheel of history. The hotel is now reappearing critical events and luxury receptions, bringing together presidents and senators, actors and athletes, businessmen and crowned entities, opening a new era in the development of Willard InterContinental Washington.
