History
Two 1942 Federal-style buildings at 2616 P Street NW, once apartments and later a law office, opened in 2016 as The Avery Georgetown. Owner Justin Schneck named it for his daughter Avery. Kate Ballou of Hendrick Interiors designed it, and a guest bar called Margo was named for his second daughter. District Lodging Capital and TBC Hotels bought the 15-room house in 2022 for $5.5 million and rebranded it The Poppy Georgetown Guesthouse and Gardens in June 2023. The door is in Georgetown's East Village.
