“This neoclassical church has been expertly metamorphosed into a hip hotel in Adams Morgan district, Washington. Old and new have been meshed together to create a new ironic definition of worship, glorifying style and swagger above all else. Everything from rooms to restaurants will impress.”

Hotel review

You are greeted in the lobby by a 60-foot vaulted ceiling bearing a brass pipe chandelier crafted from the organ that once played in this church. This theme of taking the building's heritage and twisting it into its modern form is echoed throughout the hotel, from the Brother and Sisters bar to the painted pews scattered around the hotel. The hotel has retained the church's position as a place of community, with 85 percent of the staff living in the district. The rooms are so thoughtfully put together that one feels almost instantly at home (if your home could ever be this stylish) and the temptation is just to stay here, but eventually the draw of the four excellent eateries and the I’ve Done Some Dastardly Things cocktails will draw you out! This was hands down the best time I have ever had in a church!

Why The LINE DC Is Washington, DC's Hippest Hotel

"it melds an aesthetic that pays homage to its structure and neighborhood, restaurants and bars helmed by local talent, and a super social, community vibe."

Finding your religion at the Line

"The design team salvaged many of the furnishings and materials. They painted the pews in Rothko shades and set them by the elevators."

A Design-Driven Newcomer Spices Things Up

"the lobby’s 60-foot vaulted ceiling, brass details and large copper entry doors recall the building’s days as a house of worship, and so do the pews, now repainted in bright colors, that are scattered throughout the public spaces."
