The Bar/Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

"The lobby's front brick wall is original to the incinerator, the restaurant is called Fahrenheit, the bar Degrees, and the signature drink the "Fahrenheit 5 Martini"

"The hotel's interior design takes full advantage of the building's history: lots of brick and ironwork, incendiary themes (Fahrenheit restaurant, Degrees bar), and a lobby lounge with a working fireplace (with a welcoming just-lit aroma)"

"Within the hotel, there are three separate dining establishments, including Fahrenheit Restaurant and Degrees Bar & Lounge"

"The bar’s seasonal cocktails make it a neighborhood destination, especially in the winter, when drinkers cozy up around the lobby fire"

"The hotel bar, Degrees, crawls with white-collars from area offices during happy hour"

"A few blocks in the other direction are the main streets of the historic and affluent Georgetown neighborhood, M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, both lined with stores, eateries and bars of every description"

"The spacious lobby boasts exposed-brick walls, plush lounge furniture, large windows with dramatic draperies and a wood-burning fireplace; you can gorge on the complimentary s’mores here each night from 6:30 to 7 p"

"The building also houses a cinema, spa and coffee shop, as well as a restaurant (Fahrenheit) and martini lounge (Degrees)"

"Degrees, the trendy lounge-cum-bistro, comes with a fashionable fired-up look that carries the designers' torch"

"Fahrenheit Restaurant pairs contemporary American dishes with brick walls and steel beams; the wine bar sits in the center of the room"
