Marriott Bethesda Downtown at Marriott HQ

What started as a dream and an ice-cold root beer for J. Willard Marriott and his wife, Alice, has grown into the world's largest hotel company with over 8,000+ properties throughout 110 countries. At Marriott Bethesda Downtown at Marriott HQ, we are celebrating our new hotel with an ode to the first hotels that excelled Marriott International into the journey that has lead us to where we are today. With the opening of the new Marriott Headquarters located next to our hotel, we offer an opportunity to experience a bit of Marriott's history with a stroll through our meeting spaces. Featuring meeting rooms named for some of the first Marriott hotels including the first motor hotel, Twin Bridges Motor Hotel, which opened in 1957, along with Key Bridge Marriott, Marriott Motor Inn Philadelphia, Marriott Chicago O'Hare, Atlanta Marriott Northeast/Emory Area and Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum by the Galleria.
