The St. Regis Washington, D.C. known for many years as The Carlton Hotel, is an historic hotel located at 923 16th Street NW in Washington, D.C. two blocks north of the White House.

History

The Beaux-Arts and Neo-Renaissance style luxury hotel was built as The Carlton Hotel in 1926 by local developer Harry Wardman. It was designed by architect Mihran Mesrobian.^[2] Cordell Hull lived there during World War II.

Wardman was forced to sell the hotel in 1930, due to the Great Depression.^[3] The hotel was then resold in 1953 to Sheraton Hotels,^[3] which renamed the hotel the Sheraton-Carlton Hotel.

The Sheraton-Carlton closed for extensive renovations from December 1987 to October 2, 1988 at a cost of $16 million.^[4] Soon after reopening in 1988, the hotel's name reverted to The Carlton Hotel. In 1999, it was again renamed The St. Regis Washington, D.C. In 2008, it was renovated again.

The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is designated as a contributing property to the Sixteenth Street Historic District.
