Canopy by Hilton Washington DC The Wharf:
This 120,000-square foot new build connected to Hyatt House offers a mix of 175 rooms and suites in a young, stylish spirit. Amenities at this lifestyle property include a bike share program for exploring the riverfront and nearby National Mall; free Wi-Fi; in-room mini-fridge and Nespresso machine as well as Canopy’s signature fuzzy robe and slipper-socks. On-site dining options include a complimentary morning breakfast (buffet or “Break Fast” bag delivered to one’s door) from Canopy Central where options move from coffee to beer and wine in the afternoon. Cocktails and snacks are available for purchase at the rooftop Bistro & Bar where firepits enliven the riverfront views each evening.

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf: Connected to Canopy by Hilton, this new build is an extended stay property with 237 rooms and suites, the latter furnished with kitchenettes and living area with sleeper sofa.
