Marriott Marquis Washington, DC is a luxury hotel located on Massachusetts Avenue NW, in NW, Washington, D.C., the United States. The hotel is connected to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center across 9th Street NW via an underground concourse.
The Washington Marriott Marquis is considered a "convention center headquarters hotel", designed both to provide lodging for attendees at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center across the street, and to augment the convention center by providing smaller, more versatile meeting rooms. The hotel has 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of meeting room space, which includes a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) main ballroom and two smaller 10,800-square-foot (1,000 m2) ballrooms. The building is topped by a 18,800-square-foot (1,750 m2) glass-encased penthouse, and a 5,200-square-foot (480 m2) outdoor event terrace.
The hotel is owned by Capstone Development, the District of Columbia, ING Clarion Real Estate Investment, Marriott International, and Quadrangle Development Corporation. The operator is Marriott International. It opened on May 1, 2014, and has 1,175 rooms (which includes 49 suites), a lobby with multi-story atrium, and four dining outlets on the first floor. The hotel has 14 stories above ground, and four stories below.
The Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C.'s second convention center, opened on December 10, 1982. But just eight years later, the facility's small size and a nationwide boom in the construction of convention centers had caused the 285,000-square-foot (26,500 m2) convention center to see a dramatic drop in business. In May 1990, the city unveiled plans for a new $685 million 2,300,000-square-foot (210,000 m2) convention center. Ground was broken for the new Walter E. Washington Convention Center on 2 October 1998, and it opened in 2003.
