"Hilton Worldwide is thrilled to be part of Washington, D.C.'s Wharf, one of the nation's most transformative waterfront redevelopments," said Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO of Hilton Worldwide. "We are excited about introducing our Canopy by Hilton brand to the Washington region and believe this is a perfect addition to The Wharf's long-term vision of creating an urban neighborhood on the D.C. waterfront.
