Rooms at the Marriott Marquis

Standard guest rooms at the hotel have two double beds, contemporary work desks, and smart tvs. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample natural light and views of downtown Atlanta. (The higher up you are, the better the views, naturally.)

There’s a small beverage station in the room with an individual cup coffee maker stocked with coffee pods and accessories. (Before you drink that bottled water, be aware that it is not complimentary.)

Complimentary bath toiletries include Thann bath and body products.

Stay Well Rooms – Like to be pampered while on the road?  The Stay Well Rooms include features that you won’t find elsewhere that will help you relax and rejuvenate, like an air purification system, aromatherapy, Vitamin C shower infuser, and special lighting (circadian mood lighting, dawn simulator, and energizing light).  Guests in the Stay Well Rooms receive complimentary access to Wellness Programs by the Cleveland Clinic.
