The 49-room boutique Capella Georgetown hotel along the C&O Canal can now begin renovation and construction.
The developers behind The Capella Georgetown have secured necessary financing and can now begin construction, possibly delivering the planned boutique hotel at 1050 31st St. by January 2013. The new hotel will emerge from the makeover of an existing five-story, free-standing commercial building on 31st Street, next to the C&O Canal. According to a release from the developers from March 2010, the hotel will feature a canal-side restaurant and lounge, an executive boardroom for guest use, and, on the rooftop, a pool, bar, and full-service spa. Though the rooftop pool and bar might be wishful thinking, considering the Advisory Neighborhood Commission and Old Georgetown Board's aversion to such activity on rooftops. For instance, while …
