Conversion of Latrobe Building in Mt. Vernon moves forward with liquor license for restaurant

The redevelopment of Mount Vernon’s Latrobe Building into a trendy boutique hotel includes plans for a full-service restaurant. The restaurant, which has a working name of “The Tulip Room,” “will be an upscale restaurant offering, breakfast, lunch and dinner service as well as room service to the hotel’s guests,” Justin Williams, an attorney for the project, told city liquor board commissioners. The soon-to-be hotel was approved for a liquor license Thursday.
