A new beacon of style and sophistication has opened its doors in Georgetown. Nestled along the historic C&O Canal, Canal House of Georgetown offers a fresh take on the boutique hotel experience—effortlessly blending modern design with timeless character.
Housed in two beautifully restored, attached townhomes, Canal House greets guests with 105 thoughtfully designed rooms, including 10 specialty suites, three terrace rooms, and two expansive townhouses for those looking to settle in with a bit more space and privacy. Room sizes range from a cozy 176 square feet to an expansive 846 square feet, with each space infused with charm, intimacy, and functionality.
All accommodations are non-smoking and pet-friendly, and come equipped with a curated set of modern comforts: Keurig coffee makers, laptop safes, personal refrigerators, and complimentary high-speed WiFi.
More than just a place to rest your head, Canal House is designed to be a destination for locals and travelers alike. The hotel’s vibrant social spaces include a plush library lounge, a lush private courtyard, and a lobby that feels more like a stylish living room than a check-in area—think luxe finishes, comfortable seating nooks, and natural light pouring in from every angle.
The heart of the hotel is undoubtedly the C&O Lounge, where rustic flavors and regional ingredients shine in a menu that feels equal parts comforting and creative. For breakfast, signature dishes like the Canal Boat Benedict with poached eggs and Chesapeake crab cakes, and the Apple Cider Waffles topped with spiced apples and caramel, set the tone for indulgence. More savory appetites will appreciate the Coal Miner’s Breakfast Bowl, layering creamy grits with pulled pork, a fried egg, and house BBQ sauce…
