Canopy – Hilton’s new ‘neighbourhood hotel’ brand – is set to open a new property in Washington D.C. as Bethesda North breaks ground and is slated to welcome guests in late 2017.

The 177-room hotel, which includes 23 suites and two spectacular three-bay Presidential suites, is located at the centre of Pike & Rose, a new mixed-use development featuring a sophisticated blend of restaurants, retailers, and live performance venues.

As with all Canopy by Hilton hotels, Canopy by Hilton Washington, D.C. Bethesda North is inspired and influenced by its local surroundings.

With 4,350 square feet of meeting space and a 3,100 square foot ballroom, the hotel is an attractive destination for meetings and groups. The flexibility and versatility of the meeting and event space will allow it to be one of the D.C. area’s most innovative venues, a distinctive departure from traditional hotel ballroom spaces.

“Bethesda is an ideal neighbourhood for our Canopy by Hilton brand,” said Gary Steffen, global head, Canopy by Hilton. “The community is both a business hub and recreational destination with attractive shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities. We’re confident that our hotel will reflect the best of the neighbourhood through locally inspired design, and food and drink. Canopy by Hilton Bethesda North will add to the vibrant local scene.”
