Riggs’ lower level is home to Silver Lyan, a subterranean cocktail bar by internationally acclaimed bartender and Lore Group’s Global Bar Innovator Ryan Chetiyawardana (Mr Lyan). In signature Lyan fashion, the concept reimagines the traditional hotel bar, delivering something disruptive to the current landscape—a cocktail bar both classic and cheeky, stylish and fun. Silver Lyan, named the No. 1 hotel bar in the U.S. by Tales of the Cocktail, focuses on the history of cultural exchange in America, bringing an elevated irreverence to fittingly, what was once the bank’s vault room. // Riggs Washington DC; Silver Lyan
