Cherry Blossom

Conrad Washington DC is celebrating the annual blooming of the Cherry Blossoms a parasol-cherry blossom-themed activation designed and installed by local architect and artist My Ly.

The Japanese parasols serve as a nod to the cherry blossoms, which were a gift from Japan in 1912, representing the enduring friendship between the two nations.

In the Japanese culture, parasols hold deep historical and aesthetic significance. They are not only used for protection from the sun and rain but also play an important role in performing arts such as kabuki and tea ceremonies, symbolizing grace, and refinement.

We will offer a full schedule of special Cherry Blossom themed programming that include food and beverage offerings, pop up shops and music celebrating the season. The Kyoto Spring cocktail is homage to the bond between Japan and DC. Made with Japanese Gin and cherry blossom green tea syrup, enjoy the Kyoto Spring cocktail in Estuary’s Bar and Lounge, available starting March 18.
