US: Dwel Serviced Residences has announced a partnership with The Bozzuto Group.
Dwel will be the preferred provider of furnished apartment residences at The Hepburn, a new luxury apartment building in the Dupont/Kalorama area of Washington, D.C.
“Dwel was referred to us and, after learning more about their focus on service and seeing ownership’s passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences, we were convinced that they align perfectly with The Hepburn’s vision for raising the bar in luxury living,” said Tim Colbert, general manager at The Hepburn. “They have delivered in every way.”
Developed by Lowe Enterprises and managed by The Bozzuto Group, The Hepburn opened in late Summer 2016. Its features include a sweeping 270-degree view of the D.C. skyline, private temperature-controlled wine lockers, Peloton bikes, and a vintage vinyl record player with album library. The Hepburn has also forged partnerships with The Phillips Collection, Baroo pet concierge services, and MAVEN car sharing, among others through its “black card” program.
“Dwel is always intentional in its partnerships. We strive to challenge the status quo in all facets of our industry and seek partners who do the same. The Hepburn recognized that we are not the same old corporate housing company delivering transactional services,” said Rob McDaniel, founder of Dwel. “We share similar values and philosophies of putting the guest first. This is a great fit and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
Dwel @ The Hepburn, as the partnership is named, features “interior apartment spaces that were designed in collaboration with the property to suit the sleek, modern aesthetic of The Hepburn while being comfortable, functional and liveable”. The company’s live by Dwel custom furnishings will feature bespoke furniture and slēp by Dwel beds with mattresses handcrafted in Virginia. Original art commissioned from local artist, Martin J. Cervantez will be the centrepiece of each apartment. Upon arrival, every Dwel guest will receive a personal meet-and-greet and apartment orientation along with welcome items that include William Roam bath amenities, Laughing Man coffee, Serengeti Tea, Cameron’s Chocolates, organic snacks, still and sparkling water, and Mrs. Meyers products.</p
