Now Open – Discover the vibrant, community-driven escape opening this February in DC’s historic neighborhood.

Georgetown, Washington DC’s cobblestone-lined gem, is about to get a fresh new neighbor. Canal House of Georgetown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, opens its doors in February 2025 at 1023 31st Street NW, bringing a stylish, social-forward vibe to one of the city’s most iconic districts. Perfectly positioned steps from the 19th-century Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, this boutique hotel promises to be a hub for travelers and locals alike—think plush lounges, locally inspired dining, and design that nods to Georgetown’s storied past.

Why Canal House of Georgetown Stands Out

Canal House of Georgetown isn’t just another place to stay. With 92 guest rooms, 10 specialty suites, 3 terrace rooms, and 2 sprawling townhomes (the largest clocking in at 846 square feet), the hotel balances intimacy with grandeur. Rooms blend sleek, modern fixtures with warm, textured details—imagine velvet upholstery, curated art, and nods to the C&O Canal’s industrial heritage.

But the real magic lies in its social spaces:

A cozy library lounge with shelves of books and moody lighting.
A sun-drenched private courtyard for sipping coffee or evening cocktails.
The C&O Lounge, where the menu highlights Chesapeake Bay flavors (think crab cakes and craft cocktails with local spirits).
A state-of-the-art fitness center for wellness-minded guests.

A Design Lover’s Playground

As part of Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio—a global collection of bold, independent hotels—Canal House leans into Georgetown’s quirks. The lobby mixes high-end luxe (think marble accents and brass finishes) with playful, approachable touches like mismatched vintage chairs and local artwork. Even the townhomes, once historic residences, have been reimagined as chic social hubs with lounge areas and private terraces.

Location, Location, Location

You can’t beat the address. The hotel is a 5-minute walk to the Georgetown Waterfront and the boutique-lined M Street. Wander the C&O Canal’s towpath, shop at curated stores, or dine at Michelin-starred restaurants—all within blocks.
