London-based Lore Group enlisted TAA PR to introduce a new phase for this historic building, (formerly Riggs National Bank, built in 1891) where presidents kept accounts transformed into a chic hotel and restaurant where modern, artful touches (like the 14-foot permanent display of a vivid flower bouquet) pairs seemlessly with marble columns from its life as a banking institution.

The ground floor opens to Cafe Riggs, a sophisticated restaurant pairing the best of European technique with modern American ingredients, giving way to a lively happy hour scene with seafood spreads and perfect french fries. 

The hotel features 181 rooms including First Lady-themed suites, centrally located in DC’s Penn Quarter neighborhood.
