DESIGN
Capella Georgetown p28
Capella Hotel Group wanted the perfect site for its first U . S . Capellabranded hotel , and the company found it in Washington , D . C .’ s historic Georgetown area . Not only does the property border the C & O Canal and offer picturesque views of nearby monuments , inside guests can enjoy an environment that feels like an elegant private home .
PIPELINE
Latin America p47
The region is about more than just a booming Brazil . Burgeoning middle classes in several Latin American countries are traveling beyond their own borders , and hoteliers who once catered almost exclusively to guests from other parts of the world are now drawing business from closer to home .
