Two Metro D.C. Hotels Pivot Away from Marriott’s Renaissance Brand

Two metro D.C. hotels have announced changes to their flags, both pivoting away from Marriott’s Renaissance brand.

Sunstone Hotel Investors, the owner of the Renaissance Washington D.C. hotel at 999 Ninth St. NW, announced in an earnings release Feb. 11 that the property would be rebranded to the Westin Washington D.C. The rebranding coincides with the launch of a $70 million renovation at the 807-room hotel.

In addition, Comstock Partners announced Feb. 11 that it had reached an agreement with Marriott to bring the JW Marriott flag to its 250-room hotel at the Reston Station mixed-use development in Virginia. The developer had previously reached a deal with Marriot to bring the Renaissance brand to the hotel in early 2019. The hotel is part of a 26-story mixed-use project that also includes 90 condos.
