WASHINGTON, DC — Officials
of PM Hotel Group, a leading, national hotel management company, and The
Buccini/Pollin Group, a privately-held, full-service real estate acquisition,
development and management company (BPG), hosted a celebratory topping off
ceremony, the nation’s first for Canopy by Hilton, for the177-room Canopy by
Hilton Washington, D.C./Bethesda North.
The event was attended by Joseph Bojanowski, PM Hotel Group
president; Dave Pollin, BPG
co-founder; Gary Steffen, global
head, Canopy by Hilton; and Isiah
Leggett, Montgomery County Executive, among others. The event’s highlight was a special drywall
signing ceremony.
“As an owner/operator, we
seek to be on the cutting edge and have pioneered a number of hotel concepts
with Hilton, Inc., including the smaller format, Tier II Embassy Suites
prototype and several dual-branded hotels, as well as urban adaptations of the
Homewood Suites and Embassy Suites brands in Manhattan,” Pollin said.
“All were well received by our guests, and we
believe the Canopy brand will quickly become a market leader in the upper
upscale lifestyle segment.”
Located at 11860 North
Trade Street, the 177-room hotel will include 23 suites and two spectacular,
three-bay Presidential suites that incorporate design cues from the dynamic
D.C. Metro area.

The hotel also will
provide 4,350 square feet of meeting space, complimentary Wi-Fi and a café/bar
area that provides local artisanal breakfast, ready-made lunches and stocked
shelves offering fresh and seasonal ingredients.
The hotel is situated just
one block from the White Flint station on the Metro’s Red Line, allowing for
easy access to downtown Washington, D.C., Bethesda, Rockville, and Northern Va.
Both Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport (DCA) are within 25 miles of the hotel, and
Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) is approximately 36 miles
away.
“We are thrilled to ‘Say
Hello to the Canopy Washington, D.C./Bethesda North’ as the first North
American Canopy by Hilton hotel to celebrate its topping off,” said Gary Steffen, global head, Canopy by
Hilton.
“The vibrant neighborhood
serves as an ideal location given its ability to act as both a business hub and
recreational destination with attractive and unique shopping, dining and
entertainment opportunities, and we look forward to welcoming guests later this
year.”
The hotel is a key part of
the second phase of Pike & Rose, a new, mixed-use development that is
reinventing one of the region’s most successful retail corridors. The t-shaped,
four-block complex features numerous dining, retail and entertainment options.

“In addition to the
construction jobs created, the hotel will add more than 100 permanent jobs upon
opening,” Leggett said. “This is one of
the most dynamic areas in the county, and we expect great things from this new
development.”
“This is a very
guest-centric hotel, which matches up well with our operating philosophy,”
Bojanowski added. “We are well versed in
the upscale and boutique hotel segments, having operated many properties in
these classes. Its high-profile location
in a major, new development will showcase the brand and be a major factor in
attracting business and leisure travelers, as well as locals, to the Pike &
Rose development.”
Adding to the acclaimed
restaurant offerings within walking distance, the hotel will feature a bistro
signature to the Canopy by Hilton brand that highlights D.C. favorites like
soft shell crabs and half-smokes from Ben’s Chili Bowl.
With an eye on
authentic locality, produce will be sourced from Maryland farms situated within
50 miles of the hotel, and the bar will serve local brewery beers, including
Baying Hound Aleworks in Rockville, Denizens Brewing Company in Silver Spring
and Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, as well as DC Brau Brewing Company.
Additionally, guests will have access to gluten-free Meringue Rose Cookies from
Bethesda’s Red Bandana Bakery.
