Pendry Washington DC – The Wharf is a waterfront hotel within an exciting mixed-use neighbourhood overlooking the Washington Channel and Potomac River. In harmony with the contemporary building by ODA Architecture, and drawing on the many deep connections between Paris and Washington, D.C., DesignAgency realized the hotel’s vibrant public spaces and upscale amenities, including a cocktail bar, pool terrace, spa and fitness centre, plus event spaces. The studio also developed the brand identity and designed the interiors for the hotel’s signature dining destinations: restaurant Flora Flora and rooftop lounge Moonraker.
Interiors express a classic-meets-modern sensibility inspired by grandeur, ornamentation, and lived-in feel of Parisian Modern style. In both the public and private spaces, hallmarks of boutique residential design and European-inspired luxury artfully balance the desire for comfort with the delight of surprise. The intimate lobby is warm and welcoming, with a vintage French Louis XVI Carrera marble mantel signaling Pendry’s luxurious approach. In guest rooms, a strategic layering of soft forms and plush textures leaves guests feeling cradled in luxury.



Bar Pendry
The upscale main floor cocktail bar, Bar Pendry, captures the mysterious allure of speakeasy. Plush velvet upholstery, artful lighting, bold wall patterns, and rich colours establish an intimate atmosphere that redefines contemporary luxury.

A speakeasy vibe prevails - the room is lined in velvet, antique mirrors and bronze

Flora Flora
At Flora Flora, guests are treated to seasonal plant-forward cuisine, enhanced by our fresh design for an airy and bright atmosphere. Woven textures and an earth-drawn palette cue the indoor-outdoor eatery’s casual refinement, creating a relaxed space where patrons can comfortably gather for business or pleasure.


Moonraker
Situated 12 stories high, Moonraker is a glamorous all-season rooftop restaurant and bar that evolves from sunset aperitifs to a late-night lounge scene. The centrepiece is a circular bar that makes the most of the spectacular setting by offering wraparound waterfront views.

Few venues in town can equal Moonraker’s mod attributes.
