NORFOLK, Va.
The Norfolk Waterside Marriott in Norfolk, Va., has wrapped a $4.5 million upgrade that includes revamped guest rooms, a renewed Concierge Lounge, updated guest corridor and renovated lobby.
The hotel initiated the first phase of renovations in December 2012, starting with each of the 397 guest rooms. These renovations added new furnishings including carpets, wall vinyl, lighting, window treatments, desk chairs, soft seating, and new closet and bathroom doors. The Piano Lounge, now the Great Room, underwent a complete facelift in the second phase, receiving new work areas and aiming to capture a casually sophisticated vibe.
The final phase of renovation included the hotel's lobby. Unique artwork featuring three-dimensional tiles by acclaimed Providence, R.I., artist Coral Bourgeois is now displayed behind the front desk. Each of the custom-made tiles, colors and arrangements of the display was handpicked by the artist and represents timeless elegance.
The property includes 26 meeting rooms and 60,000 square feet of total meeting space; its largest function room is the Norfolk Ballroom, with a maximum meeting space of 14,400 square feet and maximum capacity of 2,400.
