Washington Marriott Marquis

Washington Marriott Marquis is scheduled to open in spring 2014 with 1,175 rooms, 49 suites, and over 105,000 square feet of function space, including a 30,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom with 22' ceilings and two junior ballrooms. Washington Marriott Marquis will be conveniently located next door to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center -- and connected via an underground concourse. Set to be the epicenter of downtown, the hotel will transform this neighborhood and introduce a new, exciting venue for social gatherings, business travelers and meetings and conventions. The property will also serve as a brand-new social hub for local residents with an atrium lobby, a state-of-the-art bi-level fitness center, and five separate retail and restaurant spaces. The design will be innovative, incorporating the site's original historic Samuel Gompers AFL-CIO headquarters, known as the "Plumbers Building" and is designed to earn LEED® Silver accreditations.
