Crystal City Marriott Unveils Redesign

7/20/2012

ARLINGTON, Va.— The Crystal City Marriott, a 343-room hotel, officially unveiled its completed seven million dollar redesign, an investment by the hotel's owners, Vornado Realty Trust and manager, Marriott International.

The redesign includes the new, reinvented Marriott Hotels & Resorts Greatroom. The space re-concept includes seating with LCD televisions throughout, semi-private seating nooks for working/socializing, social communal tables, some featuring Apple Mac desktop computers, and the Bell20 restaurant and bar. The Greatroom easily transitions from day to night and can be used for different types of event functions or social gatherings.

Cauhaus Design, an architectural design firm in Frederick, Md., replaced the dark old world style lobby with details such as textured walls, warm earth tones, marble floors, leather chairs, and natural materials including stone, reclaimed wood communal tables, and planks on the walls. Other recycled materials such as natural tile accents, recycled 55 gallon drums, and hammered metals are used as artwork throughout the space.

"Our guests are thrilled with the renovation," says Scott McClinton, general manager of the Crystal City Marriott, in an announcement. "We know our guests want style and sophistication without sacrificing comfort and we designed this Greatroom to meet the needs of today's traveler whether they are working, playing or doing a little of both."
