Eaton Hotel
Washington, DC
Eaton Workshop is a purpose-driven global hospitality company dedicated to shaping a better world based on values of inclusivity, integrity, and imagination and driven by a triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit. Founded by Hong Kong-born Asian-American Katherine Lo in 2018, she started Eaton to reimagine how we could build physical and digital spaces as platforms for creativity and collective change with an eye towards a more fair world. Eaton Workshop’s physical and digital spaces are a place for kindred spirits to commune, collaborate, and make an impact. Our properties, Eaton DC in Washington DC and Eaton HK in Hong Kong, champion our brand pillars: Impact (social and environmental impact), Culture (the arts, literature, theater, music), Media (radio, film), Wellness (holistic mind-body-spirit healing), and House (purpose-driven members workspace), as well as beautifully designed, ethical hotel and F&B offerings.
We encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply to work with us at Eaton Workshop – BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA, international citizens, and more. We welcome professionals who strongly believe in our mission and can demonstrate parallel or applicable experience and skills to help us achieve it.
We are looking for people who embody integrity, compassion, humility, an open mind, and a collaborative spirit. We are not looking for people who pursue ego, who put self gain and profit above all else, and who don’t truly support our mission. Ultimately, we are looking for people who carry an adaptive growth mindset, can build on their expertise, collaborate across disciplines, and see the higher purpose in going beyond the status quo.

Evolution of Hospitality
Eaton Workshop is a new global brand merging hospitality with progressive social change. Launching in early 2018, it will bring to the international market a hybrid model of a hotel and co-working members club, with an extensive content and programming agenda underscoring its core advocacy values. As the first brand of its kind to serve as a gathering place for an inclusive tribe of changemakers and creatives, Eaton Workshop consists of distinct parts – Hotel, House, Media, and Wellness – that together form an ecosystem based on a pro-social, proactive ethos.
A digital content platform addressing urgent and artistic themes will unite all locations, while each Eaton Workshop property will offer the physical resources of a hotel, modern day social working club, radio station, cinema, wellness center, restaurants and bars, retail, art gallery, event spaces, and more. Through these elements, Eaton Workshop aims to bring together activists and artists from around the world to instigate meaningful and positive impact on both a local and macro scale.
