Refreshes for your next Marriott hotel meeting
Take a journey through Marriott history with these new and renovated properties. From an expansive renovation of one of the brand’s first hotels to an innovative new build, the event of your dreams, whatever your style or desired location, is at your fingertips.
Marriott Saddle Brook
One of the Marriott brand’s first hotels, and the second-oldest operating in the system, Marriott Saddle Brook, unveils phase one of a $15 million renovation, presenting new guest rooms and meeting spaces and a redesigned ballroom and fitness center. The updated design reflects the hotel’s significance within the Marriott brand and its connection to its New Jersey locale. Artwork and decorative features emulate the exterior’s distinct grid façade with geometric elements, strong guiding lines and intersecting patterns.
All 244 guest rooms feature a soft, warm color palette alongside modern furnishings and décor that evoke urban roots and a sense of place. The spacious desk area inside guest rooms is ideal for business travelers, of course, alongside the nearly 12,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space. Seasonal outdoor event space spans 4,700 sq. ft., and 7,200 sq. ft. of the hotel’s indoor meeting space has been completely redesigned. The newly built Atrium, formerly the pool area, brings in ample natural light into a space where a blue-toned carpet pattern and color scheme elevate the bright feel of the sky above. Phase two of the renovation will include the rebuild of the Marriott M Club, a new restaurant and a recreation of the Greatroom lobby space, scheduled to be completed in early 2025.

AC Hotel and Residence Inn by Marriott Reston
Northern Virginia welcomes the newly opened AC Hotel and Residence Inn by Marriott Reston. The dual-branded property allows guests to choose the hotel that best suits their needs but enjoy shared amenities including a spa-style indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, a full service restaurant, an all-season 16th floor rooftop bar and lounge and a grand total of 11,300 sq. ft. meeting and event space. SEVEN Restaurant & Bar is a full-service all day dining outlet under the leadership of award-winning executive chef Alexis Hernandez.
Its location in Northern Virginia’s dynamic mixed-use development Reston Center situates guests right by over 50 retailers, 30 restaurants and a variety of entertainment options. Direct pedestrian access to the Reston Town Center Silver Line Metro Station, which can take travelers directly to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), makes it even more convenient.
Extended-stay travelers as well as those simply seeking a home-away-from-home will enjoy the spacious and modern studios and one-bedroom suites complete with fully-equipped kitchens and complimentary hot and cold breakfast offerings in a private lounge. Alternatively, the elegant and purposefully-designed rooms in the AC Hotel will bring guests to a space of maximized relaxation whether in-between meetings or getting ready for the day as they enjoy European-style a la carte breakfast and complimentary morning coffee.
Pittsburgh Airport Marriott
Following an $18 million, four-year renovation, Pittsburgh Airport Marriott unveils the final phase to modernize the guest experience and infuse Pittsburgh’s Steel City heritage and the surrounding natural landscape. Though it conveniently stands only six miles from Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), the property is a world of its own, with a quiet location outside the flight path and a design that nods to local grist mills, glass works and steel factories through an intentional color palette and carefully selected textures, such as brick, corrugated metal, iron and steel structures. Art pieces such as the abstract Pittsburgh topography map, with layered tonal metallic panels, displayed in the Greatroom reception area, add to this sense of place.
The top to bottom renovation refreshed all 301 guest rooms and 16 suites, including two presidential suites, alongside the public spaces and restaurant, fitness center, Marriott M Club and 12,500 sq. ft. of meeting space made up of 18 meeting rooms, ranging in size from ballrooms to boardrooms.
