History
The eight-story building at 2430 Pennsylvania Avenue NW was built in 1947 as apartments in the West End, on ground that had once been counted as Foggy Bottom. It was spared when 1970s renewal cleared many neighboring apartment houses. It opened as The Melrose Hotel in 1980. A later renovation, kept open through construction, redid the 240 rooms and opened Jardenea. The house now trades as the Melrose Georgetown Hotel and has been a Historic Hotels of America member since 2021. The name on the door is Melrose.
The setting
