The José Andrés Group (a restaurant group founded by celebrity chef José Andrés in Washington, D.C.) and New York-based real estate development company Thor Equities are launching a luxury hotel.
Scheduled to open in 2027, The Bazaar by Jose Andres will feature 67 luxury guest rooms and a private members’ club in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood.
The property will include multiple food and beverage outlets hand-selected by Jose Andres Group, as well as event space, a wellness center and “upscale” retail, the restaurant group shared in a release obtained by Hotel Dive.
A private members’ club will be “at the heart of the project,” according to the announcement, offering members-only benefits and venues such as The Bazaar Club, a penthouse with a signature restaurant with views of the Georgetown area.
Joe Sitt, chairman and CEO of So Equities Group, said the development would be an “exciting new destination for the local community and visitors from around the world”.
Sitt said the private club will be specifically “designed to bring thought leaders together and foster a sense of community.”
José Andrés Group currently operates 40 restaurants, bars and lounges under 20 brands. Bazaar by José Andrés is the group’s first hotel.
So Equities’ $20 billion real estate portfolio includes luxury hotels under the Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons brands, as well as industrial, laboratory, residential, office and mixed-use assets.
