We Make Hotels. Sydell Group builds and operates unique properties that are a reflection of their neighborhoods, a celebration of architecture and design, and a gathering place for visitors from near and far. Our hotels are collaborations among exceptional talent from the creative, culinary, and retail worlds, and our goal is to create travel experiences that offer inspiration and a sense of connection to our respective cities. Sydell Group's diverse portfolio of award-winning hotels includes NoMad New York and Los Angeles; The LINE LA, DC, and Austin; Freehand Miami, Chicago, LA, and New York; The Ned, London and Park MGM, Las Vegas; as well as the forthcoming NoMad Las Vegas and NoMad London.

The LINE DC is a collective effort with local partners that draws inspiration from the surrounding Adams Morgan neighborhood - an area long respected for its diversity, rich culture, and personality. In addition to a newly constructed building, the 110-year-old neo-classical church has been restored with the creation of dynamic public spaces serving both neighborhood residents and hotel guests alike. The LINE DC is manned by two chefs at the helm of four distinct food & beverage concepts – Spike Gjerde and Erik Bruner-Yang. Each chef has been supported locally and celebrated nationally with nominations and awards from The James Beard Foundation for their contribution in the kitchen and behind the bar.
