The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center is a high-rise hotel in the United States capital of Washington, D.C. It rises to 153 feet (47 m), featuring 14 floors.
The hotel was completed in 1982 as the Vista International Hotel Washington. At the time, Hilton International was a separate company from Hilton and was forbidden from operating hotels in the United States under the Hilton name. Vista International was their domestic line of hotels. The architect of the building was Holle & Lin Architects PC and Smith-Williams Group.[1][2]
The Vista became infamous in 1990 when then-Mayor Marion Barry was arrested on drug charges in a government sting in a room at the hotel.[3]
In 1996, the Vista was converted to The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center. In 1998, it became The Wyndham Washington D.C.. In 2005, it returned to its previous brand as, The Westin Washington, D.C. City Center.
