Norfolk Waterside Marriott, hotel in Norfolk, Virginia
The Norfolk Waterside Marriott is a hotel on the Elizabeth River waterfront in downtown Norfolk, Virginia, situated next to the Waterside Convention Center. The building offers guest rooms with views facing the water or the city skyline on the opposite side.
The hotel was built near the Waterside Festival Marketplace, a shopping and entertainment project that reshaped Norfolk's downtown waterfront in the 1980s. Over time, the property was updated to serve larger conferences and business gatherings tied to the neighboring convention center.
The waterfront area around the hotel is one of the main gathering spots in downtown Norfolk, where people come to walk along the water and watch boats pass. The surrounding promenade connects several public spaces that are used for outdoor events throughout the year.
The hotel sits in downtown Norfolk within walking distance of the waterfront, several restaurants, and the Nauticus museum. Guests with a car can use valet parking, and Norfolk International Airport is a short drive away.
The hotel has an outdoor space called the Riverview Terrace that overlooks the Elizabeth River and is often booked for private events and receptions. Because it sits at an elevated level above the riverbank, the view of passing vessels is unobstructed from this vantage point.
