GUEST ROOMS: A Luxurious Retreat
As they enter their 400-square-foot retreat, guests will be greeted by a serene setting that blends the resort’s surrounding geography with comfortable, functional design.
Featuring light-colored woods and monochromatic earth tones, the rooms, designed by Studio GAIA, will invite the outside in to create a streamlined and refreshing environment.
Floor-to-ceiling windows will immediately seduce guests with natural light and breathtaking views of the city’s landscape. The spacious guest rooms will be stylish and refined with meticulous attention to detail throughout every corner of the space, from the stunning floor-to-ceiling millwork throughout the room to the functional desk space and comfortable seating area along the window wall.
In keeping with the resort’s conservation-minded approach, motion sensors in each room will automatically adjust temperature and lighting to save energy when guests are not present. Advanced technology in all rooms will remember guests’ temperature and lighting settings when exiting the room and resume those settings upon their return. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology will be standard throughout all rooms, enabling guests to conveniently stay connected to family, friends and business colleagues while on the road.
Each elegantly appointed guest bath will feature floor-to-ceiling millwork similar to that of a yacht’s interior, while dual vanity sinks will be set within a dramatic polished black countertop.
Creating a sensual shadow play between the bathroom and bedroom, the shower will become a focal feature as it radiates a subtle opaque white light. Guest bathrooms will integrate sustainable features including LED lighting in the oversized mirrors as well as custom polished chrome low-flow, water-saving fixtures.
Thoughtful artistic touches will be featured throughout the resort and in the guest rooms.
Just outside each bathroom, a distinctive piece of artwork inspired by the historic Washington, D.C. region will add to the overall ambiance of the room.
In addition to 234 standard guest rooms, MGM National Harbor will offer a premier selection of 74 suites ranging in size from 600 – 2,000 square feet, up to the luxurious 3,600-square-foot Presidential Suite.
