Washington Marriott Marquis

Washington Marriott Marquis is a modern hotel tower in downtown Washington D.C. featuring a distinctive glass facade with angular architectural lines. The building contains more than 1,100 guest rooms and extensive meeting spaces that connect directly to the adjacent convention center.

Completed in 2014 by Cooper Carry architects, the hotel set new standards for convention center hotels in the nation's capital. The development marked a turning point in how major hospitality projects serve large-scale gatherings in the district.

The interior design incorporates elements celebrating the District of Columbia through local artwork, patterns, and materials reflecting the region's character.

The hotel is easy to access thanks to its central location directly adjacent to the convention center, making navigation straightforward. Visitors should expect busy conditions during major events, as the property accommodates large numbers of guests and attendees.

A dramatic central atrium soars through the entire height of the building and floods the interior with natural light from a glass skylight above. This design choice creates an unexpectedly open and bright feeling inside a large convention hotel.
