Washington D.C.'s famed Watergate Hotel is slated to reopen next summer,
following a $125 million renovation. Its owner, New York-based real estate
developer Euro Capital Properties, has tapped Israeli designer and architect
Ron Arad to update the 1960s-era property.
The hotel, which Euro Capital acquired in 2010, has been closed for several
years, The Washington Post reports. Four decades ago, the hotel played a role
in one of the most famous scandals in American politics, and the mixed-use
complex it's part of became a household name. As recounted by the Washingtonian, "On June 16, 1972, four men rented two rooms at the Watergate Hotel
and dined on lobster in the hotel restaurant. That night, joined by another man,
they broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters on the sixth
floor of the Watergate office building adjacent to the hotel." Revelations related
to the break-in contributed to President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974.
Euro Capital says it plans to capitalize on the hotel's name recognition by
opening other properties bearing the Watergate moniker. "We are proud to
announce the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. as the first property of the
Watergate Hotels & Resorts company, with more to come worldwide," says
Jacques Cohen, principal, Euro Capital Properties. However, the company did
not provide any further details on the scope of its plans for the Watergate flag.
Originally designed by Italian architect Luigi Moretti in 1961, the Watergate
Hotel will add nearly 100 rooms, the Post reports, giving it a total of 343 guest
rooms. About half of the rooms will feature balconies and each will showcase
natural light, plush bedding and floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms. Arad is
also decking the hotel with sculptural furnishings by Italian designer Moroso.
"We have paid meticulous attention to every detail in its renovation,"
says Rakel Cohen, director of design and development, Euro Capital Properties. "[The property's] intrigue is driven by evocative design, from the retro
feel that we have infused to the mystique that lies behind every curve of the
hotel's architecture."
"We are very pleased to enter into this
transaction with Sunshine Insurance
Group, which marks a significant milestone for Baccarat S.A. and the future
growth of the Baccarat Hotel."
