CEO Blogs About Diverse-Owned Extended-Stay Hotel in Maryland's New National Harbor
Today, J.W. Marriott, Jr., chairman and CEO, Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE:MAR) participated in the grand opening of the 162-suite Residence Inn by Marriott in Oxon Hill, Prince George's County, Maryland.
"I think this is one of the finest Residence Inns I've ever seen," said Bill Marriott. "There are very few hotels in the Washington, D.C. area that offer views of the Potomac River, but this hotel boasts some of the most spectacular river views around. This hotel is first class and I'm very proud of it."
