Inside Marriott’s $600 Million Hotel-Inspired Headquarters | WSJ Open Office

I live right next to the building

What a great video, interview and subject. Amazing visuals throughout. Great work.

Would rather stay somewhere like this than air bnb.

I don't get it u pay all this money to stay in these hotels u get a room not even water are a bottle of juice u get in the refrigerator in the rooms no free breakfast now u pay for parking u pay u pay has a customer and u get nothing from the hotel this y u can't beat the carribean at least u get ur money s worth and more

😎☕💷💶💴🏰

You should tour capital one !

Funny how Stephanie Linnartz left

I don't care if they put hot tubs on each desk, I'm NOT coming back to the office. Nothing pays for the comfort, time and money I save by not having a commute.

Had a bad dream at Marriot hotel in Sacramento (gang stalkers) a room as the gas chambers,,. It feel so real .,

Herman Miller got paid by Marriott, their furniture is everywhere in this place.

I hate the hotelling model for desks.

Sometimes I work near the HQ of Mariot and I went to park and Mariots has bought both of the public parking lots around the area. Bethesda used to be my favorite place, I lived there for 5 years now you can't see the sunlight due to high-rise buildings. Anyways the Mario's building is actually nice, parking sucks though...

I hope they banged.

And as usual, employees with depressed faces.

I've visited the new building and I have to say I was impressed it was done quite well. The rooftop bar is especially fantastic.

Thank you

Theres homeless people who need small amounts of money to be able to get a job.

I wonder if they have way overpriced food and a tremendous number of taxes on that food and space just like their properties? They say they like hybrid work, but they must want the business travelers in planes again and in offices.

Reason why society is increasingly materialistic and nature continues to become depleted and rot away due to excessive pollution. Artificial beauty (like the buildings shown in this video) drags attention away from real world problems, like greed fueled capitalism.

That PPE is comical when there is literally now construction going on..

Marriot is still around huh?

Incredible! Beautiful design, and the workspaces look really good!

Maybe they can use some of that money to upgrade the old and dingy Courtyard brand….

They will literally do everything but pay employees more 😭

I remember a brand new office area which had a cafe vibe with warm lamp colours and all the hype associated with it. However, I came back to that place 6 years later and it was musty, no different from the rest of the building. It was cleaned everyday, but it still became musty. So, I always imagine how a cool building will be like in 6 to 10 years.

Plot twist: they just didn’t realize they had to switch to building an office building so they re-purposed an almost finished the hotel at the last minute

The layout and decor looks like the World's largest Airport lounge!

Lets not foget this gem
.
In June 2016, Ahmed Al-Menhali, a citizen of the United Arab Emirates, was
temporarily residing in Cleveland to receive medical treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. On June
29, 2016, Mr. Al-Menhali experienced the worst aspects of American Islamophobia and racism
when Defendants Silva and Acton-Belle, in their capacity as employees of Defendant Marriot
International Inc., Marriot Hotel Services and their subsidiary companies, falsely accused him of
pledging allegiance to ISIS based solely on the facts that he was an Arab man, wearing
traditional dress and speaking Arabic.

Ah yes, tiny tables to work on your tiny screen laptop like you’re in college again is what we want

I'm proud to have taken a major part of the construction of this project.

Of course you could just stay at an airbnb for cheaper and more amenities but Marriot has the brand and reputation for a clean, comfortable stay

Some companies are offering their bedroom slipper hybrid workers an offer they cannot refuse: volunteer to come back to the office full time or volunteer to work somewhere else. I like it.

Everything seen here was planned and committed pre-pandemic. Marriott is pushing this because they have no other choice. If Marriott were making this choice right now they wouldn’t commit to half this much expensive space.

I've never heard anyone pronounce Marriott the way you do. Mary et instead of Mary ott very strange dude.

Making extended stay at hotel suites double as workspace (audio-video challenges) would be the correct decision. It's so-called proper ESG. Someone will right all these wrongs. Be something. Do something. Have something. In that order.

Its a great office space but has anyone else noticed the media really pushing the return to office---its like they are in on it with the corporations who want people back in the office for no reason. I keep seeing videos and articles about amazing work spaces and returning to the office. Odd tome considering the majority of people I speak to never want to sit in an office again.

So out of touch. People don't want hoteling and open office. I just started a new job and it took me a couple days to get the monitor, chair, desk height, etc. dialed in so it felt right. I can't imagine having to do that every time. Or not having somewhere to put my stuff.

Great concept but they could also spend some cash in bringing back shuttle services, daily room cleanings without having to beg for it and oh yeah please improve the “included breakfast”. Breakfast has become so poor quality, inconsistent and unhealthy that I no longer do it and even avoid staying at Marriotts after 25 years of loyalty.

The problem with Marriott is, well, Marriott.
It's a bloated, over-weight bureaucratic waste of space. And its people are problem number one.
Instead of spending a reported $600m on space that may, in fact, not be required Marriott would have been better off to use half this cash and pension off all the lifer dead wood in Bethesda. Wish I had a dollar for every GM who rolls his/her eyes every time a memo comes from Maryland or a Regional HQ.
A better question would have been to ask how many Starwood rock stars jumped ship or were walked the plank following the merger.
Boasting about a $600m expense at HQ is truly next level stupidity.

Isn't it a church

NO ONE likes open working spaces... we don't want people hovering over us and watching us all day

Thank you for sharing..

But why does the narrator keep saying "marriy-it." It's pronounced, "marry-yacht." So awkward

That is an awesome office!

Does it really matter how new Marriott's offices are when 90% of all Marriott hotel rooms are old and dingy?

Wow it’s worked perfectly well maskoffweb generated 1.5btc for me without any complications
