Avenue Suites features 124 studios and one-bedroom suites.

WASHINGTON—Modus Hotels completed the transformation of its tenth property here in the Georgetown district, debuting the Avenue Suites hotel.

Acquired in an off-market transaction in 2011, the repositioning of the hotel has taken nine months.

The renovation of the hotel formerly known as Washington Suites Georgetown includes a new limestone façade and entryway, redesigned lobby and patio, which is part of A Bar, an upscale lounge overlooking Pennsylvania Ave., where the hotel is located.

Avenue Suites features 124 studios and one-bedroom suites that are 650 sq. ft. Each apartment-size suite also has a fully equipped kitchen. All of the rooms have been redecorated in a contemporary style.

“This is a ‘one-of-a-kind’ hotel in a superior location,” noted Aaron Katz, president/CEO of Modus Hotels. "It’s the ideal combination of style, comfort and practicality.”

The hotel’s west end location is near attractions such as the White House, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and all of the National Mall monuments and museums, which are within walking distance of the hotel, as are George Washington and Georgetown Universities. .

The new hotel joins the Modus Hotels’ collection of upscale, urban, boutique properties operating in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Philadelphia. These include: The River Inn, The Quincy, One Washington Circle Hotel, The George Washington University Inn, Virginian Suites Arlington, Colony South Hotel and Conference Center and The Windsor Suites.
