Originally called The Commodore when it opened in 1927, Phoenix Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. has always enjoyed a prime spot on Capitol Hill, just steps from the U.S. Capitol and the Supreme Court. Developed by famed Washington developer Harry Wardman, the hotel was bought in 1982 by Irish-American entrepreneur Daniel J. Coleman and renamed it in honor of Dublin’s 1,760-acre Phoenix Park, the largest urban park in Europe. Reminiscent of an 18th-century Irish manor house, this historic Washington, D.C. hotel has been beautifully updated to reflect the urban style of today’s Dublin townhouse, combining classic features and a stylish contemporary décor.
