Washington Marriott Completes Renovation; Enables Smartphone Check-In

The Washington Marriott at Metro Center has completed the renovation of its 459 guestrooms and suites, a multi-million investment by its owners, Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

In addition to the new look of the guestrooms, the hotel is an early adopter of Marriott Hotels’ new mobile check-in, allowing smartphone users a convenient, easier and faster way to check-in.

“We are thrilled with our guestrooms’ new look and to be one of first to offer our guests the ability to check-in on their smartphones,” said Meg Bobinski, general manager, Washington Marriott at Metro Center. “Our guests seek style and substance, and require technology central to their lifestyle. We are excited to be part of the innovations that will enable the next generation to travel brilliantly.”

The guestrooms new design is inspired by nature. A fresh green palette and organic elements have been chosen to provide a calming retreat. Splashes of mint green compliment the rich chocolate brown present in the carpet and accents. Dark burgundy wine upholstery with deep patter texture that is utilized on the ottoman accents is unexpected, but compliments the color palate.

Business and leisure travelers both will appreciate the upgraded WiFi, i-pod docking station, Bath&Body Works Energizing Aromatherapy products, and HDTVs.

With the Marriott Mobile App, check-in is simple to use. All Marriott Rewards members can check-in after 4 pm the day before their arrival and receive an automatic notification when their room is ready. Because credit card information is stored within their Marriott Rewards profiles, members simply walk up to the expedited mobile check-in desk where their pre-programmed key card will be waiting for them.

The mobile check-in feature is available in the free Marriott mobile app in the Apple iTunes Store and Google Play.
