Acclaimed designer Dianna Wong transformed the former Hotel Washington into DC's first W location, infusing the historic Beaux Arts architecture with a modern aesthetic. The location, steps from the White House, inspired Wong: "There is interplay between history and fashion, classic and sleek, monumental and sublime. There is delicate balance between restraint and sensuality. The Axor Massaud sinks, faucets and tub filler were selected for the exclusive Wow Suite bath because their modern yet sensual forms perfectly conveys our design theme."
