Marriott Bethesda Downtown At Marriott HQ To Open Next Month

Located adjacent to Marriott International’s highly-anticipated soon-to-open headquarters, the 245-room Marriott Bethesda Downtown will be a destination for business and leisure travelers alike, offering three F&B concepts, including one of the city’s only rooftop bars, 8,000-square-feet of state-of-the-art event spaces, an exclusive MClub for Marriott Bonvoy Elite Members, gallery of Maryland artists, and thoughtful design notes capturing Marriott’s history, such as root beer colored glass as a nod to the brand’s origin story as a root beer stand, and a laser cut sculptural mural showcasing five of Marriott’s original hotels.

The property sets a welcoming tone with its lobby, featuring a grand staircase, communal seating that spills outside to an expansive terrace and a “deconstructed” 360-degree Greatroom bar which will serve cocktails prepared tableside in a one-of-a-kind imperial shaker, local beers on tap, and spirits from Marriott Hotels’ Signature Bourbon Program. Seventh State, the hotel’s restaurant named after Maryland’s status as the seventh state to enter the union, will offer fresh, locally inspired dishes with a “Maryland meets Mediterranean” spin. The restaurant’s Italian wood-fire oven and open-kitchen format provides a peek behind the curtain of culinary theater under the helm of second-generation Marriott associate and Executive Chef, Dupree Braswell. Hip Flask will open as a modern cocktail factory with a cool rooftop vibe, retractable glass ceiling and spirited tableside presentations serving both classic and seasonal cocktail creations from a variety of namesake “flasks.”

The Marriott Bethesda Downtown is close to a myriad of dining, nightlife, attractions and shopping experiences in both downtown Bethesda and Washington, D.C., and is within walking distance to the Bethesda Metro station located on the Red Line.
