Mint House has completed an adaptive reuse by converting an 11-story office building into a boutique apartment hotel, which is hosting a grand opening in the Washington, D.C. area today.
The newest property for the New York City-based company—a residential hospitality operator offering long and short-term accommodations—1010 Vermont includes 85 units ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments. Formerly known as The Denrike Building, 1010 Vermont was designed by local architect Appleton P. Clark Jr. and built in 1926, earning historic landmark status in 2016. Mint House retained key elements of the building’s 1920s aesthetic.
“We’re thrilled to open our doors and join the community in Washington, D.C., a city that blends rich history with a vibrant and modern culture,” Christian Lee, CEO of Mint House, said in a statement. “Much like the city itself, the transformation of 1010 Vermont reflects our deep commitment to preserving the historical character of iconic buildings while breathing new life into the spaces for modern-day needs. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests with our unparalleled experiences for years to come.”
In-room amenities include fully equipped kitchens and smart thermostats. Common area features a fitness center, Grab-and-Go station, rentable meeting space and a lounge with game tables and TVs.
Mint House operates boutique hotels out of multiple historic buildings, such as the company’s Nashville property, Mint House at The Reserve, a former Federal Reserve Building, and New York City property, 70 Pine, a former office building built in the 1930s. 1010 Vermont is Mint House’s second opening this year, following the recent opening of the Dylin in Madison, Wis., with further openings expected in 2025.
