PARK HYATT WASHINGTON D.C.

Beautifully created by renowned designer Tony Chi, Park Hyatt Washington combines modern style with classic American materials such as warm limed oak, gray limestone and black walnut. With a tea cellar offering rare and vintage tea selections, spa-inspired bathrooms, and a signature fragrance created for the hotel by artisan perfumer Blaise Mautin, Park Hyatt Washington offers guests a luxurious experience in the nation’s capital. It also boasts the largest deluxe rooms in the city, blending contemporary décor with touches of the American spirit – including authentic folk art and hardcover books on history and crafts. The hotel entrance is striking; it celebrates Washington’s famous blossoming cherry trees with impressive glass sculptures etched with images of their flowers and branches. It beckons you to explore the city that lies just outside its doors – Georgetown, Embassy Row and the Kennedy Center.

Blue Duck Tavern

Blue Duck Tavern’s open kitchen with a central focus on its wood-burning oven welcomes both travelers and locals alike to gather and celebrate in good taste. It’s award winning menu showcases the best of the season as Executive Chef Brian McBride and Chef de Cuisine Michael Santoro bring sharply focused and bold flavors to the table through simple and traditional cooking methods. Slow-roasting in wood embers, braising, preserving and smoking techniques bring the true flavors of America’s great, simple and wholesome foods to Blue Duck Tavern’s patrons. With an open staff pantry, glassenclosed wine cellar, Chef’s Table seating up to sixteen, seasonal outdoor terrace and Washington’s first commercial Molteni range, custom designed in blue lacquer, the setting is open and innovative for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

Tea Cellar

The Tea Cellar features more than 50 rare and limited production, single-estate teas from remote regions of China, Japan, Sri Lanka and the Himalayas and the deepest inventory of vintage Pu-Erh tea in the nation. The sophisticated tea offerings, some of which are at the level of flavor and complexity of fine wines, not only introduces guests to the highest quality of tea, but also to the significance of water temperature and steeping time each tea requires. Unique in the United States for its menu and offerings, the Tea Cellar also showcases a glass tea humidor to store and age vintage tea.
