Don’t call it a hotel—Katherine Lo’s politically minded Eaton DC is much more than a place to sleep.

“THIS IS THE RADIO STATION,” Katherine Lo tells me, gesturing to an unfinished space nestled beneath a staircase. The setup, she says, is inspired by East Village Radio, the radical New York City broadcaster. “Here’s the DJ booth, and then a huge collection of vinyl records will go over there.”

It’s a chilly but bright late-spring afternoon, and I’m touring the construction site for Eaton DC in Washington, D.C. It’s easy to forget that we’re standing in what will open in a few months as a hip boutique hotel with 209 rooms. Forty-five minutes into our walk-through and Lo, Eaton’s 36-year-old founder and president, whose father is executive chairman of the Langham Hospitality Group, still hasn’t mentioned where the guests will sleep.
