Marriott International’s flagship Marriott Hotel

Scheduled to open in Q4 2021, The Bernstein Companies is developing Marriott International’s flagship Marriott hotel as part of the $600 million Headquarters campus in downtown Bethesda, MD. The master development will include the 785,000 sq. ft. Headquarters Building (which TBC is co-developing with Boston Properties BXP), the Marriott hotel, underground parking to accommodate almost 1,000 vehicles, and a plaza connecting the two buildings serving as an open, public connection between Wisconsin and Woodmont avenues.

The Gensler-designed 244-key Marriott hotel will feature all of the latest innovations in hospitality design. With over 10,000 sq. ft. of light-flooded flexible space for meetings, conferences, and banquets, the flagship hotel will provide both businesses and residents of Bethesda with an amazing place to host events. The hotel will also offer exceptional dining and social amenities, including a ground-floor signature restaurant offering outdoor dining on the pedestrian plaza, and an indoor/outdoor rooftop bar terrace. In addition to the 244 standard guest rooms and suites, the hotel will house an additional 18 “Innovation Rooms,” which Marriott uses as a lab to test new concepts across their brand portfolio.

The site lies at the intersection of Woodmont, Wisconsin and Norfolk Avenues, just 800 feet from the Bethesda Metro Station. As Bethesda’s next world class destination, the hotel offers easy access to numerous dining options, movie theaters, jazz clubs, live theatre venues and comedy clubs. This legacy project will redefine lodging in Montgomery County, while stimulating economic growth and enhancing Bethesda’s cultural experience.

The Bethesdan, Hilton’s Tapestry Collection

By repositioning the 270-key DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel to the newest boutique hotel in Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, The Bethesdan takes away the strict notions of what you should be doing and gives guests back the power to craft their own stay. The hotel will offer a promise of freedom and choice in order for a guest to make the hotel feel like “mine.”

Positioned as the only soft-branded lifestyle hotel in the market, The Bethesdan distinguishes itself from the formulaic nature of the competitive set. This neighborhood-focused hotel tailors to the guest experience, making each guest feel comfortable in a place that has a classic sense of style and attitude.

The Bethesdan’s renovation includes a complete overhaul of the guestrooms, re-imaging of the lobby and meeting areas, re-concepting of the Food & Beverage outlets, a new 3,000 sq. ft. fitness center, and exterior enhancements including the addition of glass and outdoor canopies.

Bethesda, one of the most renowned communities in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, is a destination for ethnic restaurants, boutiques, home décor shops and artistic and trendy hot spots. Boosted by diverse demand drivers and high barriers to entry, Bethesda will continue to be a strong market for both economic and hotel RevPAR growth.

TBC partnered with Gensler for exterior and interior design. The repositioning is expected to be completed in Q2 2019.

Canopy DC Embassy Row

In late Spring of 2019, The Bernstein Companies will bring the Brightest Streetlamp on the Block to 1600 Rhode Island Avenue with the opening of the Canopy DC Embassy Row. With the Canopy brand, Hilton has redefined accessible luxury by focusing on great neighborhoods and bringing hotels to life through great design, local food and drink, art and enthusiastic local expertise.

The Bernstein Companies has assembled an award winning team of Edge of Architecture and Alliance Architecture to design the Canopy DC. The hotel will embrace the classic architecture of the neighborhood while juxtaposing funky artisan touches showcasing the cultural diversity that surrounds our address.

The 154 key Canopy Washington DC will feature the vibrant Canopy Central serving craft cocktails, local brews, and artisanal foods. From over-sized guest rooms, to complimentary Canopy bikes to explore the neighborhood, to free high speed wifi, and a two-level state of the art fitness center, we’ve got you covered.
