At long last, a look inside Marriott’s new Bethesda headquarters

It took nearly six years to move a little more than four miles, but Marriott International Inc.’s long-planned headquarters relocation to downtown Bethesda is substantially complete. Executives hosted a media tour Monday of the global hospitality company’s new corporate home ahead of an official ribbon-cutting ceremony next month. The last group of employees moved into the 21-story, 785,000-square-foot building at 7750 Wisconsin Ave. last week, after Marriott (NASDAQ: MAR) announced its intention to relocate from the Rock Spring business park in suburban Bethesda in October 2016. In that time, the company has weathered a global pandemic that significantly impacted its finances and trimmed its workforce.
