Marriott International has unveiled the multimillion-dollar redesign of the JW Marriott Washington, DC, owned by Host Hotels & Resorts.
“JW Marriott Washington DC holds great significance for the JW Marriott brand and our global portfolio,” says Mitzi Gaskins, vice president and global brand manager for JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts. “Originally opened in 1984 as a dedication to our company’s founder from his family, this property has helped pave the way for our brand over the past 30 years.”
Completed by locally based ForrestPerkins, the redesign included updates to the property’s corridors, executive lounge, and 750 guestrooms, inspired by the bespoke appearance of a tailored suit, with a color palate of deep chocolate, charcoal, and pearl gray with small accents of pink and chrome reminiscent of a men’s pocket square and watch. Tweed, leather, herringbone stitching, and subtle patterns of Greek keys and paisley feature prominently.
Bathrooms now feature illuminated mirrors, sliding doors, and spa-inspired showers with a shave pedestal.
Guestrooms were also updated with energy efficient A/C units and LED light bulbs to reduce energy consumption.
