The Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette
Square hosts countless soirées in their
premier downtown entertaining facilities.
Events are designed through the visions of
expert planners, so that each is given a true
touch of French luxury. Embracing the
modern style of Washington and the histori-
cal aspects of French culture, the contrasting
mix carries through to the guest rooms. The
essence of each room is marked with distinc-
tive furnishings and vibrant artwork lining
the walls. The powder rooms are drenched in
marble accents, while the plush feather du-
vets add to the room’s heavenly highlights. A
new level of luxury is found behind the doors
of each guest room as Sofitel Washington DC
Lafayette Square also offers in-room spa ser-
vices and delivery of freshly crafted Parisian
dishes. The idea of a stay-cation in a hotel
room has never seemed more tempting!
Parisian Food-Affair
The magnifique design of Sofitel Washington
DC Lafayette Square will tease your visual
senses, while the Opaline Bar & Brasserie
will have your taste buds tingling. The sleek
urban dining room greets guests with mod-
ern design elements and an au noir colour
palette. Although progressive and polished,
the space pays homage to archetypal French
restaurant décor. The remarkably sleek greys
and crisp blues hint at Washington’s progres-
sive culture, while the subtle pops of yellow,
fashionable artwork and antiqued china
make Paris ever more relevant. Textured
details bloom as sunlight floods through the
towering windows overlooking 15th Street.
The warm light reflects off the dramatic
brass chandeliers and mirrored accents along
the cocktail bar. All 48 seats along the count-
er dance with style, welcoming diners to this
fresh and fashionable eatery.
The Menu
Opaline Bar & Brasserie is a true joie de
vivre, beginning with freshly brewed coffee in
the early morning hours to succulent Mon-
sieur Croquet in the evening. The culinary
team transports diners to Paris by creating a
similar atmosphere with brilliant menu offer-
ings. Traditional French flavours undergo a
modern makeover, while contemporary dishes
are introduced to an iconic French flare.
Opaline Bar & Brasserie begins the Parisian
food-affair with a simple brunch menu. The
familiar avocado toast draws on French flavours
with the addition of smoked salmon and pickled
onions. Poutine for brunch is the norm and is
found on the menu just above the Opaline Burger,
blanketed in melted gruyere goodness, and across
from the Red Snapper topped with coconut, va-
douvan and littlenecks clams.
