Excellence in Hospitality
With over 8,700 locations and spanning across 130 countries, it is hard to believe that Marriott International started as a humble root beer stand in 1927. However, they have grown from hometown business to one of the largest global corporations in the world with over 140,000 employees.
Marriott’s success is based on their constant search for inventive ways to serve their customers, how they provide opportunities for their associates, and to see consistent growth in their business. They conduct their business based on five core values: put people first, pursue excellence, embrace change, act with integrity, and serve our world.
Strategy
To be a part of Marriott International is to join with a proud history and a thriving, internationally influenced work culture. They take pride in the details every day, in every destination worldwide. With this focus comes a strong knowledge of when their locations need an update or remodel – and for the Marriott in Washington D.C., it was time to put in the work.
The completed project created an environment that perfectly embodied Marriott’s core values of putting their people first and pursing excellence. Each crafted piece provided a sense of welcoming calm to every guest utilizing the Mariott facilities while allowing ease of use and maintenance for every Marriott employee connected to these stations.
Result
KCI Works was commissioned by Schoenfelder Renovations to fabricate all the millwork and stone tops for the lobby area, buffet, and restrooms. Our completed work provided an environment perfect for guests to fully relax and cheerfully unwind after their travels. The Marriott’s exceptional design creates the perfect environment for any guest; whether they be a family on vacation or an international politician planning their next speech, they will find all of the commodities and comforts they need to succeed while staying at the Washington D.C. Metro Center.
