The Occidental
The Occidental
Washington, DC
A reimagination of the legendary 1906 restaurant where servers in crisp white tuxedos move through two floors of Art Deco glamour beneath crystal chandeliers, past green velvet banquettes, and alongside floor-to-ceiling walls lined with restored black-and-white portraits of presidents and illustrious guests. Ken Fulk's design evokes mid-century opulence with large brass doors, marble underfoot, mahogany sheen, and a seductive Art Deco bar, while the second-floor cocktail lounge and patio complete the grand gesture to classic American haute cuisine.
