Monaco DC

Housed in the original 1839 General Post Office building—one of the oldest and most historically significant landmarks in Washington, D.C.—the Monaco DC Hotel is a bold reimagining of neoclassical architecture through a contemporary design lens. The renovation preserved key historic elements such as soaring vaulted ceilings, grand arched windows, and original ornamental detailing, while introducing modern interventions that celebrate contrast and character. Rich color palettes, custom furnishings, and playful, layered interiors bring a fresh sense of drama and intimacy to the expansive classical volumes. This reimagined landmark offers guests an experience that’s as architecturally rich as it is visually unexpected.
