Washington Marriott Marquis

The Washington Marriott Marquis is at 901 Massachusetts Avenue NW, in the Mount Vernon Square and Convention Center area of Washington, DC, United States. The hotel is adjacent to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and Mount Vernon Square Metro station is a short walk away, giving fast rail access to the National Mall, Union Station and the airports. The hotel is also within walking distance of Chinatown, the Capital One Arena and the Penn Quarter restaurants. The building is a large modern convention hotel, designed around meetings and conferences, and its scale and function make it a practical choice for business travelers and groups. Rooms are categorized as Queen Rooms, King Rooms and Suites. Facilities include an indoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, several restaurants and valet parking. Dining options on site range from casual cafe-style service to full dinner restaurants and a lobby bar, and the surrounding neighborhoods offer a wide range of restaurants a short walk away. Service is oriented toward conventions, with a large events team and efficient check-in processes, and the hotel also serves leisure travelers and families who want a central location with a pool. Nightly rates generally run from about $220 to $500 USD, with higher prices when a major convention is in town and lower rates in quieter periods. Guests should expect a busy lobby during conferences and a more corporate atmosphere than at the boutique hotels. The indoor pool is a useful amenity for families in winter, and the Metro access means that a car is not required. The area around Mount Vernon Square has been redeveloped in recent decades and includes the Carnegie Library building and several museums, with the Smithsonian museums a short ride away. Evenings are lively around Chinatown and Capital One Arena on event nights.
