From the September issue: The unlikely team of Hilton Worldwide and Hyatt Hotels Corp. will build a 413-room, dual-branded hotel at the Wharf, a $2 billion mixed-use waterfront development in Washington. Dual-branded hotel properties are not rare, the Washington Business Journal noted, but what’s unique about The Wharf is that competitors will share the space.
