Opened in the fall of 2022, a short walk from Union Station, the 10-story CitizenM Washington DC NoMa hotel is a study in art, design and efficiency. The colorful and spacious lobby is adorned with works by D.C. artists and has tucked-away booths and comfortable seating areas.

The adjacent bar opens to an interior courtyard. Try CanteenM bar & kitchen’s signature cognac-based sidecar, or the DC old-fashioned, made with honey blossom water and locally sourced whiskey.
