  • Direct underground connection to Walter E. Washington Convention Center (very short walk).
  • Walking distance to National Mall, Smithsonian museums, Capital One Arena, and multiple Metro lines.
  • Address: 901 Massachusetts Ave NW — central for downtown attractions and business districts.

Choose Marriott Marquis if proximity to the convention center or downtown museums is your priority.

Pendry is located at The Wharf on the Southwest Waterfront with dock and walkway access to the riverfront district.

  • Address: 655 Water Street SW, in The Wharf leisure and dining district.
  • Close to waterfront restaurants, nightlife, Nationals Park, and key museum/monument sites reachable by short rides or a longer walk.
  • Preferred airport route: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is the nearest major airport noted for the property.

Choose Pendry if you want a waterfront neighborhood with dining and nightlife steps from the hotel.

Rooms: Large inventory vs. curated river views

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC – Rooms

Marriott Marquis offers broad room inventory and multiple suite options for groups and families.

  • 1,175 rooms with room types like Room, Club Room, Studio, and 1-Bedroom/Deluxe Suites.
  • Rooms accommodate families and groups (booking tool allows up to 8 total guests per room).

  • Room types include King Guest Room, Partial River View King, Deluxe River View One Bedroom Suite, Two Bedroom Suite, and The Pendry Suite (Two/Four Bedroom).
  • Rooms feature minibars, espresso makers, 50-inch Smart TVs, and designer toiletries.
  • Some rooms offer partial or corner river views; suites include larger living spaces for longer stays or families.

Pendry is better for travelers who prioritize room design, river views, and suite options in a smaller hotel.

Dining & drinks: Full-service outlets vs. curated waterfront menus

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC – Dining & drinks

Marriott Marquis provides several on-site dining options aimed at convention and downtown guests.

  • Anthem serves American classics for breakfast and lunch; reservations accepted.
  • Lobby Bar under the 14-story atrium for casual drinks and bar bites; The Dignitary is an elevated whiskey lounge.
  • On-site Starbucks for quick coffee and grab-and-go items; additional nearby restaurants surround the property.

Choose Marriott Marquis for straightforward, reliable dining tied to convention and business schedules.

Pendry Washington DC The Wharf – Dining & drinks

Pendry places a small set of curated dining and bar options on-site and benefits from The Wharf’s wider restaurant scene.

  • Moonraker specializes in Japanese cuisine; 24-hour room service is available.
  • Two bars/lounges and a poolside bar provide leisure drinking options; rooftop terrace for views.
  • Walkable waterfront district offers many nearby restaurants and nightlife off-property.

Pendry is the pick for waterfront dining and a concentrated set of higher-end or design-focused food and drink options.

Pools & waterfront: No pool vs. seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC – Pools & waterfront

Marriott Marquis does not have a pool, hot tub, or sauna on site.

  • No on-site swimming pool or hot tub—guests use the 24-hour fitness center for wellness needs.
  • Nearby public and third-party options exist but are not operated by the hotel.
  • Good walking access to many city sights instead of resort-style water amenities.

If an on-site pool is essential, Marriott Marquis is not the right choice.

Pendry Washington DC The Wharf – Pools & waterfront

Pendry offers a seasonal outdoor pool, poolside bar, and hot tub for leisure guests.

  • Outdoor seasonal pool and one hot tub; pool cabanas and sun loungers available (some services surcharge).
  • Pool season typically runs May–October; confirm seasonal dates before booking.
  • The hotel has dock access and waterfront walkways for immediate water views and activities.

Pendry is the clear choice if an on-site seasonal pool and waterfront setting matter to your stay.

Wellness & nightlife: Fitness and bars vs. spa, rooftop, and boutique nightlife

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC – Wellness & nightlife

Marriott Marquis emphasizes fitness and meeting-time nightlife with multiple bars on site.

  • 8,000 sq ft two-level fitness center, open 24 hours and complimentary to guests; free and premium classes available.
  • Nightlife focused on Lobby Bar and The Dignitary whiskey lounge for evening drinks.
  • No on-site spa; nearby third-party spas can be used for treatments.

Marriott Marquis is for travelers who want strong fitness facilities and convenient downtown bars without an on-site spa.

Pendry Washington DC The Wharf – Wellness & nightlife

Pendry includes a full-service spa and rooftop/seasonal leisure options that lean toward a leisure-nightlife experience.

  • Full-service spa with massage, body treatments, and facials (reservations required).
