History

On May 19, 2008, a

natural gas leak caused an explosion that injured fourteen construction workers, damaging four floors on the unfinished hotel.[6][7] About four hundred construction workers were on site at the time of the explosion.[8] The construction company, Hensel Phelps, was also responsible for rebuilding sections of the Pentagon after the September 11 terrorist attacks.[9]

During the summer of 2019, the hotel underwent a $23 million renovation to guest rooms, suites, and corridors.[10]

On July 20, 2022, Hilton employees walked off the job. A new deal was signed four days later, on July 24.[11] Bridgette Browning, President of UNITE HERE Local 30, said after the deal was signed that "the overwhelming approval of this contract shows how much it will help our members during these difficult economic times", emphasizing that "front-line tourism workers power our economy, and this contract is a step toward acknowledging the true value they provide our city."[12]

On December 13, 2023, a 31-year-old man was shot in the hotel's

parking structure.[13]

Design

The hotel contains more than 165,000 square feet (15,300 m2) of meeting space.[14]
