There’s been some great buzz about our hotel bathrooms, so much so, one of them was a “Best Restroom in America” top ten nominee. CNN came out and did a feature.
The restrooms just off the lobby at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View near Washington, D.C. are just gorgeous and certainly worth a visit. The folks who created them really make you feel like you’re strolling in the woods.
The hallway leading to the restrooms is covered with images of trees and leaves. Inside, orange and gold colors and silhouettes of birds resemble the sky at dawn.
The contest was limited to lavatories within the United States. But I’ll tell you, around the world, our hotels offer some stunning sanctuaries that are also energy efficient and green. We always try to balance high style with sustainability in our designs.
Take a look at some of our beautiful bathrooms and let me know which one is your favorite.
I’m Bill Marriott and thanks for helping me keep Marriott on the move.
(Recently, The Huffington Post published an article showcasing the world's"Poshest Potties." Two of our hotels made the list: The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead in Atlanta and The Algonquin Hotel in New York, an Autograph Collection Hotel.)
These are so amazing! I am really so envious of these bathrooms. My bathroom is not as spacious and luxurious but I do keep it clean and well-maintained. Thank you for this post. This just inspired me more to keep doing what I do.

While the bathrooms at Marriott hotels are often quite nice, I am almost always disappointed by the toiletries provided. Specifically, the "Bath and Body Works Orange Ginger" conditioners, body wash, hand soap, and shampoo. I do appreciate the effort and care of using name-branded products, but I've often wondered who exactly decided to use these exact scents? They smell like industrial solvents and irritate the skin. Did Marriott have focus groups select these particular scents? Was there a comprehensive review process? I'm just wondering exactly what process Marriott went through to select the worst possible toiletries compared to their major competitors [SPG, Hyatt, Hilton].
It is perhaps a $1 difference to change these, but it honestly can make or break my choice to stay at a Marriott.

Out of all of the beautiful choices, I think that the Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe stands out to me the most. It's contemporary enough with an inviting look and feel that any guest would enjoy.
If I could redesign my apartment, I would most definitely put that bathroom in it!
Cheers to a wonderful new look with eco friendly outcomes.

I love all the great bathrooms in hotels and the best part -- they come with maid service!

Cool - I like nice bathrooms. My two favorites are 1) JW Marriott Las Vegas - was upgraded and had huge and beautiful bathroom with a shower large enough for six! No view, but very nice. 2) JW Marriott Mexico City - not large, but the bathroom has wall-to-wall windows overlooking Chapultepec Park and t huge Mexican flag lit at night. For both of these trips, I was traveling on business and alone!
