ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today toured Marriott International’s new state-of-the-art headquarters in downtown Bethesda with company leaders, including Chairman of the Board of Marriott International, Inc. David S. Marriott.
“Keeping Marriott International’s headquarters in Maryland and expanding the company’s presence here is one of the great success stories of our economic turnaround,” said Governor Hogan. “We take great pride in Marriott as a Maryland institution that is a powerful economic engine and committed community partner. This new headquarters is the perfect place for Marriott to continue its work as the world’s largest hospitality company, and ensures that Marriott will continue to call Maryland home for generations to come.”
In October 2016, following discussions with the state and Montgomery County, Marriott announced plans to stay in Maryland and move from its Fernwood Road headquarters to the new location in downtown Bethesda, a 21-story headquarters home to corporate associates supporting over 8,100 hotels in 139 countries and territories around the world. Governor Hogan took part in the groundbreaking for the site in 2018.
Earlier this year, Governor Larry Hogan and Lt. Governor Boyd K. Rutherford celebrated the opening of Marriott International’s new global headquarters with citation presentations at JW Marriott Seoul during a celebration of the grand opening and at the company’s ribbon cutting ceremony in Bethesda.
Marriott’s new headquarters includes 20,000 square feet of collaborative workspace, over 2,800 workspaces, 180 conference rooms, and is within close proximity to the Bethesda Metro Station, Capital Crescent Bike Trail, and multiple bus routes.
