Wye Oak Tavern serves as the culinary centerpiece of this Tribute Portfolio hotel, part of The Visitation Hotel, A Marriot Tribute Hotel development anchored by the iconic Wye Oak as the site’s central gathering point and defining feature. Led by Frederick natives and Top Chef alumni Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, the restaurant is powered by a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen designed to support the precision, pace, and creativity of a chef-driven dining experience. Built for efficiency and execution, the kitchen functions as the behind-the-scenes engine that elevates service and consistency at every level.
Located within the former school chapel, the dining room offers a one-of-a-kind setting defined by soaring ceilings, original stained-glass windows, and carefully restored architectural features, including the tabernacle and grand pipe organ. The result is a space that honors the building’s past while delivering a refined, contemporary restaurant experience unlike anything else in Frederick.
As part of a larger mixed-use development rooted in New Urbanism principles, Wye Oak Tavern contributes to a walkable, community-focused destination that integrates hospitality, residential, and commercial spaces into an emerging cultural hub in the heart of Frederick, Maryland.
Vida City Vista is a premier 20,000-square-foot fitness and wellness facility featuring a high-end gym, spa, and salon, designed to offer a luxurious
experience for its clientele. The project was completed in two phases,
transforming an unoccupied former Ace Hardware space into a state-of-the art fitness center while ensuring seamless coordination with the existing
building infrastructure.
The gym includes high-end locker rooms with extensive plumbing and
intricate below-slab coordination to support salon and spa operations. The
Bang and Aura salons, part of the same venture, incorporate a VIP section
on the upper level with a modern, trendy aesthetic, featuring leather wraps,
wood slats, and meticulously crafted details such as banquet seating and
wool sconces. The spa is designed with premium wall coverings, drapery,
advanced soundproofing, and a sophisticated lighting control system
offering four different settings. Additionally, the installation of a cryotherapy
chamber required careful integration with building systems.
Phase two of the project expanded the locker rooms, added new offices
for sales and management, created a staff lounge, an ADA-compliant
restroom, and a new group fitness center, including a hot yoga studio with
an induction panel. As a repeat client, Vida Fitness trusted us to bring their
vision to life with precision and excellence.
The project involved the transformation of a brand-new retail
extension at the Skymark residential buildings in Reston Town Center,
marking the first retail presence on this prominent street. As a repeat
collaboration with esteemed clients Newmark and Cushman, and
working closely with the developer BXP.
This retail space posed unique challenges, including 22-foot-high
ceilings and extensive plumbing requirements for the play areas. The
work involved cutting and removing sections of concrete, core drilling,
and managing intricate coordination due to space constraints, slab
plumbing work, and the elevated ceiling height.
Key features included polished concrete floors in the lobby and
hallways, custom branding extended to the exposed ductwork, and
the installation of crates, gates, and fences. The team successfully
overcame these challenges, delivering a sophisticated and functional
retail space that seamlessly integrates with the broader Reston Town
Center development.
The Visitation Frederick Hotel represents a remarkable transformation of a historic Catholic all-girls school into an elegant boutique hotel, seamlessly blending heritage with modern luxury. This mixed-use development breathes new life into the campus of the former Visitation Academy, a storied institution founded in 1846, now reimagined as a vibrant cultural and community destination.
The property, originally a convent and school until 2005, later became a private educational facility that closed in 2016. Today, the hotel pays homage to its rich history by incorporating preserved architectural elements. The chapel’s original stained-glass windows, for instance, have been thoughtfully reinterpreted through a contemporary yet understated design approach. These historic features coexist with modern touches, ensuring the project aligns with the brand standards of a global hospitality company.
The Visitation Frederick Hotel offers 65 exquisitely designed guest rooms, including nine extended-stay options. Amenities include a full-service spa and fitness center, an intimate performance venue, and a sophisticated restaurant and bar. Wye Oak Tavern, led by a top chef, features a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen designed for the demands of fine dining, offering a seamless culinary experience that supports a diverse menu and a professional kitchen team. Meeting spaces on-site accommodate small groups, making the property an ideal venue for intimate gatherings or corporate events. Beyond the hotel, three condominium buildings are under development as part of the mixed-use concept, with one completed and two in progress, further enriching the revitalized campus.
