Eaton Workshop

What Eaton Workshop does

Eaton Workshop is a privately held, mission-driven hospitality company founded in 2014 by Katherine Lo. It operates two flagship urban properties — Eaton DC (opened September 2018 on K Street in Washington D.C.) and Eaton HK (opened November 2018 in the Jordan neighborhood of Kowloon, Hong Kong) — with 465 rooms at Eaton HK alone. Each property integrates five co-located revenue modules under one operating platform: hotel accommodation, branded food and beverage (Yat Tung Heen, The Astor, Terrible Baby, Eaton Food Hall), integrated coworking (Eaton House with hot desks, private offices, virtual offices, meeting rooms, and a 50-seat 4K/Dolby 7.1 Kino cinema), wellness facilities (rooftop pool, 24-hour fitness center, yoga, tai chi, sound baths), and a proprietary cultural programming stack centered on Eaton Radio community broadcasting, art exhibitions, and live music.

Revenue mechanics span room nights with dynamic pricing (standard rack, long-stay 14/28-night packages, advance-purchase discounts of up to 25%, Pride and family adventure packages), recurring coworking subscriptions (HK$750-HK$25,000/month), F&B à la carte and cover charges, MICE packages (full-day meetings from HK$690/person), and event venue rentals across 7,460+ sq ft of ballroom, terrace, and cinema space. Direct-to-consumer booking runs through a multilingual (EN, SC, TC, JP, KR) website integrated with the Brilliant by Langham loyalty engine, supplemented by OTAs (Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Ctrip, Google Hotels) and a corporate sales team; coworking is sold through the Eaton House Nexudus portal and WhatsApp. The company follows a Triple Bottom Line doctrine (people, planet, profit equally weighted) and differentiates via LEED Gold, EarthCheck Platinum, CrescentRating 3-star, and Cradle to Cradle/Greenscreen/Greenguard certified construction, alongside inclusion positioning for LGBTQIA+, pet, and Muslim-friendly travelers. Award retention — Michelin 1 Star for Yat Tung Heen across 2017-2026, Michelin Key for Eaton DC in 2025, and 2nd place in Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards for Washington D.C. hotels — provides defensible third-party brand validation for a 2-property operator.

Room types range from standard rooms (Nook, Cabin) to suites (Salon, Family Room, Classic Suite, Eaton Suite, Artist Studio).
2. Food & Beverage: Multiple F&B outlets generate revenue including Yat Tung Heen (Michelin one-star Cantonese restaurant), The Astor (all-day dining buffet restaurant), Terrible Baby (rooftop cocktail bar with live music), and Food Hall (multi-vendor food court).

4. Events & Meetings: Eaton Workshop offers over 7,460 square feet of event space across both properties including ballrooms, meeting rooms, terraces, and the Kino cinema. Revenue is generated through venue rentals, catering packages, and corporate meeting packages. Weddings, conferences, social gatherings, and wellness business meetings are all catered to.
5. Brilliant by Langham Loyalty Program: Integration with the Langham Hospitality Group's Brilliant loyalty platform allows members to earn points on hotel stays and dining, redeem rewards, and access member-only rates. This drives repeat bookings and increases customer lifetime value.
