Main Entrance

The main entrance doors to the Washington Marriott are on the West side of the hotel located on 22nd Street NW. You enter the hotel through one of the two sets of automatic sliding doors that are each the width of a single doorway. As you face the hotel, the set of sliding doors on your left slides open automatically right to left. As you face the hotel, the set of sliding doors on your right slides open automatically from left to right. Once you have entered through one of the first two sets of sliding doors, there is another interior set of sliding doors, which open in the same manner as the first set of sliding doors.

Lobby

You enter the hotel via the main doors that are located on the lobby level. Once you enter these doors, you will be facing the lobby "sitting area." This area offers two different sets of seating areas with sofa seating wrapped around a large round pillar. The sofa seating is facing outward from the pillar. This area has wireless Internet access for patrons, which can be accessed for free in the lobby area. Tile floors cover the entire floor surface of the lobby area. In addition to the two pillars with the sofas wrapped around them, there are two large round pillars and a large round decorative table in the middle of the lobby area. One of these two additional large round pillars is approximately 10 feet into the lobby area after you immediately enter the lobby area from the sliding automatic doors. It is in the middle of the area between the two sets of sliding doors.

If you are facing the main doors from either of the two lobby sitting areas, the North wall of the main entrance area is on your right. The North wall is where the front desk, gift shop, and hallway leading to where the Georgetown Ballrooms, ATM, and restaurants are located. They are all located in that sequential order as you travel along the North wall of the lobby area going from West to East. If you are facing the main doors from the lobby sitting area, the South wall of the main entrance is on your left. The South wall is where the bell desk and three main elevators are located.

Atrium Restaurant, Court Lounge, & Hotel Bar

The Atrium Restaurant is located in the Northeast corner of the lobby level. As you exit the elevator in the lobby area, proceed straight ahead (North) until you are in the middle of the lobby area parallel with the main entrance on your left (to the West). Then, turn to your right (East) and walk until the tile floor becomes carpeted. You will encounter the hostess desk for the Atrium Restaurant, which regularly has an attendant. The carpeted area of this dining area is the Cart Lounge, another casual seating area for hotel patrons not dining in the restaurant. To enter the Atrium Restaurant, you walk on the carpet behind the hostess desk. The Atrium Restaurant offers American cuisine.

The hotel bar is located in the first part of the Atrium Restaurant. It is the only area of the lobby level with wooden floors. It is located between the Court Lounge and Atrium Restaurant.

Gift Shop

The small gift shop adjacent to the front desk on the lobby level offers light beverages and snacks as well as travel size personal hygiene items. The gift shop is to the East of the front desk on the North wall of the lobby area.

Transportation

The hotel does not offer a shuttle; however, there is a taxi stand outside the hotel if you turn left (South) immediately after exiting the hotel. In addition, there is a doorman or concierge available to assist hotel patrons with the taxi stand. The hotel itself is located five blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro station (orange and blue lines) and five blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro station (red line).

Lobby Elevators

There is one main set of three elevators on the South wall of the lobby area that leads to all floors between Lower Lobby 3 and the ninth floor. All three elevators are located in a row on the South wall of the lobby area.

This elevator and the business wing are not being used for conference purposes.

Dog guide relief

Standing outside of the hotel with your back to the main entrance of the hotel and with the outermost sliding automatic doors immediately behind you, turn right (North) and walk along a cement sidewalk path that runs along the West outside wall of the hotel. The brick driveway for drop-off and pick-up of hotel patrons will be on your left (to the West) as you walk along this sidewalk. You will cross over a carpeted mat for an emergency exit. Continue on North along this sidewalk until you reach a drop-off for the East-West driveway entrance for public and guest parking at the hotel. Cross over this brick driveway entrance and step up back onto the sidewalk still facing North. Continue going North for approximately 10 feet on this sidewalk without crossing any additional intersections. You will find a tree surrounded by approximately five square feet of plants and mulch at ground level. In addition to this first tree, there are two other trees surrounded by five square feet of plants and mulch at ground level. All three of these trees are in a row along the South side of this side street. Approximately 20 feet to the East of this tree is another identical tree surrounded by five square feet of plants and mulch at ground level. Approximately 20 feet East of this second tree is the third and final tree in this row, also surrounded by five square feet of plants and mulch at ground level.

On each floor, there is an elevator waiting area. This area forms a "T" with the intersecting hallway where the guest rooms are located. Once the guestroom hallway is located, if one turns to the left, the room numbers go from 40-79 with the odd numbers on the left side of the hallway and the even numbers are on the right side of the hallway. Turning right from the elevator area, rooms 38 to 00 are located with the odd numbers on the right side of the hallway and the even numbers on the left side of the hallway.
