The Royal Sonesta Washington, DC Capitol Hill

Native to the Potomac River, long before the District of Columbia was selected as the Nation’s Capitol, the beaver was the true VIP of DC. The Knight of Capitol Hill presides over all the comings and goings of this busiest of neighborhoods. Frequently seen swimming alongside former President John Quincy Adams, he was revered for his innovative engineering skills –however, the Knight's legacy on Capitol Hill extends beyond logistics ingenuity. Known for eagerness and perseverance, beavers are synonymous with teamwork, a particular pride across all our teams.
