The Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles Reopens Modernized Hotel & Meeting Space in Chantilly, VA

Chantilly, VA – June 5, 2008 – Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles, an award-winning conference and meeting center in Chantilly, Virginia, will celebrate its grand reopening Friday, May 2, 2008. This newly renovated Marriott hotel in Virginia has invested $8 million to modernize 40,000-square feet of meeting space and 336 guest rooms with the latest in luxury and technology.

“Westfields Marriott is known for our commitment to the best quality and customer service for our guests,” said Regan Linke, Westfields Marriott’s general manager. “We are delighted to celebrate the next phase of our significant investment in the property.”

In September 2007, a celebration was held to mark the completed $2.3 million renovation of the Chantilly, VA hotel’s almost 22,000 square feet of ballrooms. The guestrooms and hotel meeting spaces received a $5.7 million modernization beginning in December 2007. An additional $1.5 million will be invested in the other meeting spaces in the hotel later this year. The renovation is the largest investment in the Chantilly hotel property since it opened in 1990.

Innovative technology added to Westfields is already making life easier for both guests and meeting planners. These meeting spaces near Centreville are wired with high-speed fiber optic Internet and nearly any technological wish for the use of technology can be fulfilled, including creating “low-paper” green and modern meetings and conferences.

Tech savvy guests will enjoy new wireless high-speed Internet access from public spaces as well as high-speed access in the new guest rooms. The modern rooms feature an innovative new digital plug-in panel above the desk, which alleviates the need to search for plugs behind furniture.

Additionally, guests can split the screen to watch TV and work on their laptop simultaneously, fill their room with their own music play lists from MP3 players and other digital music players through the system’s 25-watt speakers and play back videos from camcorders and view pictures from digital cameras. The newly modernized Marriott guest rooms also feature the Marriott Revive Bedding Package, which offers 300-thread count linens, fluffier pillows and down comforters.

Conveniently located near Washington, D.C., and Dulles Airport in the midst of a 26-acre nature preserve, the award-winning property features 328 guestrooms, 8 beautiful suites and 40,000 square feet of meeting space.
