Situated in the heart of Capitol Hill, the YOTEL Washington DC offers visitors a prime location to explore the historic and political monuments that surround the city. With views of the US Capitol Buildings, the Supreme Court and Washington Monument Grounds, guests will be able to immerse themselves in the rich history of the city. The YOTEL boasts one of the largest roof decks in the city which opened in the summer of 2021. Deck 11, an 8,000-square-foot rooftop oasis, offers guests a variety of highly stylized spaces to relax and unwind. The rooftop features an 800-square-foot pool, private sun decks, top-of-the-line resort cabanas equipped with charging stations, communal fire pits, yard games, a DJ booth, a VIP section and lounge offering full food and beverage service, and breathtaking views of the U.S. Capitol dome. Named after the location level of the building, Deck 11 is a sophisticated setting with a relaxing vibe where guests can socialize and enjoy craft cocktails, local beers, wine, appetizers, salads, crab cakes and sandwiches. The tonal color palette of white, grey and black is complemented by pops of chartreuse, yellows, oranges and greens throughout, creating a connection to the vibrant and eclectic Capitol Hill scene. The space is designed with a casual and whimsical-yet-adventurous aesthetic in mind. Statement pieces such as a glowing, internally lit DJ table and custom-made bar and geometric-shaped lights serve as focal points. Retractable awnings and misters were installed to ensure a comfortable temperature and adequate shade in the warmer months, while fire pits with semi-private breakout spaces were designed for the transitional season. Deck 11 offers an array of seating arrangements, including four resort cabanas, 26 lounge chairs, lounge seating clusters with and without firepits, a communal dining table with 12 barstools and a bar right off the pool with 12 barstools nestled at the countertop. There are also 11 high-top tables scattered throughout the area. Whether taking a break from the pool or popping up before or after a day of exploring the city, Deck 11 is the perfect spot to sip a cocktail or a beer while enjoying made-to-order cuisine. The rooftop offers a casual atmosphere by day and high-energy by night, against a beautiful skyline in the heart of Capitol Hill.
