Fairmont Washington D.C., Georgetown, USA

Posted in Projects on 10 January, 2024

Welcome to a city that is perpetually changing, yet timeless in its grandeur and elegance. And nowhere in the nation’s capital reflects this duality quite like Fairmont Washington, D.C., Georgetown. Located in the fashionable West End and adjacent to the historic Georgetown, Fairmont welcomes guests in capital style.

Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) undertook the renovation of the Guest Lounge, Event & Meeting Spaces, and Suites, and were inspired by DC’s grand architecture and lush parks. The colour scheme is fresh and bright to maximise the natural light, and walls are painted white with additional wall trims for an elevated look. Dark stained wood floors and gold wallcoverings provide drama.

Drawn to the historical prominence of Washington D.C., the selected artwork merges contemporary sophistication and historical tradition through locally recognisable abstract visuals reminiscent of iconic landmarks, conceptually orientated embellishments, and thought-provoking compositions. With nods to grand architecture and beautiful gardens, the artwork pays homage to the layered past of Washington D.C. and encourages guests to immerse themselves in the urban oasis of luxury and leisure.

Fairmont DC is an oasis in the city centre. Inspired by its grand architecture and lushes’ parks, the renovated suites provide the ultimate escape to unwind and relax. The colour scheme is fresh and bright to maximise the natural light, the walls in the living room and bedroom were painted white with additional wall trims for an elevated look. By contrast the entries received a dark stained wood floor and gold wallcovering for drama. All new rich walnut and natural stone millwork, plush inset carpet paired with new furniture in neutral and green accent fabrics provide a soft and residential feel. All bathrooms are fully renovated with white or grey marbles and new vanities for a spa-like experience.

Gold Club Entry

Concept
Previous design was very tonal and spare. The goal for JBI was to elevate the look and feel by adding layers, contrast, and curated artwork. The built‐in reception desk was replaced with a sit‐down desk placed over a deep blue area rug against a decorative wall covering for a residential feel. All existing seats were re‐upholstered with soft grey fabrics and rich Cognac leather. New Antique mirrors and sconces were added. The centre area receives an artistic area rug, while the back area receives a bold blue wall covering creating drama and interest. The eclectic art collection is inspired by the Washington DC history and beautiful architecture, mixing traditional and contemporary mediums . The renovated Gold Lounge feels sophisticated, yet comfortable and welcoming.

Ballroom Level Foyer

Prefunction, Ballroom and meeting rooms
Much like a Green House, the Banquet spaces feel natural, fresh and luminous, using Winter white textured wall covering throughout. The carpet is inspired by Fall coloured leaves flowing over the city map in the background. The decorative ceiling fixtures in the prefunction room are a contemporary interpretation of outdoor lanterns while the Crystal chandeliers in the Grand Ballroom retrieve their formal glory. The dark furniture with bronze detailing bring contrast and sophistication.

Club Main Room

Art Collection
Inspired by the historical prominence of Washington DC, the artwork package merges contemporary sophistication and historical tradition through locally recognisable abstract visuals reminiscent of iconic landmarks, conceptually orientated embellishments, and thought-provoking compositions. With nods to grand architecture and beautiful gardens, the artwork pays homage to the layered past of Washington DC and encourages guests to immerse themselves in the urban oasis of luxury and leisure.

Boardrooms
Each boardroom has its own character. The angular table base mixing bronze metal and glass embodies executive power, one has a dark and sexy Sahara Noir marble, the other a calmer yet exclusive Gunsmoke Onyx. In contrast the double padding back detail at the chairs provides softness and comfort. In both rooms, moldings, window seat and decorative pendant were added to re‐enforce a residential feel and timeless elegance.
