The LINE DC Hotel (Washington, D.C.)

 hotel, Neoclassical (architecture), interesting place

The hotel's lobby is housed in a historic 1912 former Christian Scientist church, the hotel's 220 guest rooms are contained in a modern eight story tower in the rear. The 1912 neoclassical church’s most striking features—all preserved in the hotel’s design, a collaboration with INC Architecture & Design—include 60-foot vaulted ceilings, grand copper entry doors, intricate millwork, and ornate brass detailing. Hymnal boards have been repurposed for wayfinding and original pews provide ample public seating, while the church’s pipe organ has been given new life as a chandelier in the lobby. The 220 guest rooms are located in a contextual addition behind the original building.
