When it comes to hosting a grand affair to remember, no venue is more memorable than Kimpton Hotel Monaco Washington DC. Thanks to the historic building that's been beautifully modernized in a manner that's both elegant and edgy, such stunning features remain as soaring ceilings, dramatic skylights, beautiful period architectural details, plus grand marble staircases (perfect for snapping those frame-worthy wedding day portraits). Hotel Monaco’s 7,000 square feet of meeting and event space are bold areas ripe for swapping stories, monumental life moments or business ideas. The décor reflects the same regal and classical aesthetic throughout the three rooms named for bold, international cities – Paris, Athens and Tokyo. Hotel Monaco's premier event space, the Paris Ballroom is a former library created for the Postmaster General on the fourth floor of the building that features a dramatic dome skylight and classical columns. The building’s historic architecture is surrounded by shimmering acanthus leaf patterned wall coverings and over scaled matelassé window treatments topped with Christopher Guy mirrors that accentuate the drama of the space. Paris can host up to 300 guests for receptions. The Athens Room, which can accommodate up to 200 guests reception style, is adorned with the original cast iron ceiling details, which impart a sense of grandeur. Accents and custom wall coverings in rich black, white, silver and gold tones as well as dignified torchiere lamps provide a regal backdrop to any event. Large windows overlook the courtyard on one side and the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery on the other. The Tokyo Boardroom looks down upon the outdoor courtyard is ideal for small meetings accommodating up to 16 people. The décor is modern and bold with a maze-like carpet – a sly reference to the political process – and comfortable two-toned French Art Deco inspired task chairs surrounding a large fixed table.
