Washington, DC

THE PROPERTY

Maison Kesh, a 97-room lifestyle property with dynamic Food and Beverage spaces, is modern, open, peaceful, lush, hip but sophisticated, local, playful yet elegant, collaborative, independent, positive, and globally aware.

The hotel is a space where guests work, play, and dine alongside locals—immersing themselves in the neighborhood in vibrant, welcoming public spaces. Maison Kesh sets the tone for a unique experience that gives people the ability to engage in meaningful ways, discovering new things about themselves in the process. Our tagline, “a house in full bloom” symbolizes the energy and connectivity of our brand. Luxury is not a price point. It is a state of mind, an experience.
