José Andrés already wears many professional hats—humanitarian, restaurateur, chef, author—and now he's adding hotelier to his resume. The decorated chef's hospitality group is expanding into the hotel business and opening its first hotel, The Bazaar House by José Andrés, in Georgetown in 2027.

The 67-room hotel will open at 3000 M. Street, NW, a large lot at the foot of Georgetown's main shopping thoroughfare. Some of the amenities will include a private membership club, events space, high-end stores and a wellness center. There will also be several places to eat and drink onsite. It'll also have a members-only penthouse club and restaurant, The Bazaar Club.

The chef's restaurant group includes 31 restaurants in the U.S. and internationally, but he has a long history in the District; he operates restaurants here and nearby that include: Jaleo, Oyamel, Zaytinya, The Bazaar, Minibar, Barmini, China Chilcano, Spanish Diner and Beefsteak.
