An additional restaurant and swimming pool, new tennis courts, and other facilities have been added to improve this nationally-known resort hotel. A sixth large construction project, an American Management Association Conference Building adjoining the Chicago Marriott, also was completed in fiscal 1969. Five Projects Set For '70 Five other major hotel projects were brought along in fiscal 1969 for completion in fiscal 1970. Principal among these is a magnificent new hotel in the Boston suburb of Newton. This 430- room facility, cast in a scenic setting on the Charles River, opened in late August, and reception has been enthusiastic. Two hotels in the Washington, D.C. area will be opened in fiscal 1970. One is a 300-room hotel at Crystal City, a luxurious business and residential community being developed near National Airport. The other is a 125-room first-stage unit at Dulles Airport, the first hotel at this growing airport of the future. Passenger traffic at Dulles in the first six months of calendar 1969 climbed almost 30 per cent, which is more than double the national average. Two existing properties are being expanded. At the Chicago Marriott, acceptance of "Marriott Living" has been so great in its less than two years of operation that a 200-room addition is underway, bringing total rooms to almost 700. A 170-room expansion is in process at the Key Bridge Hotel in Washington. Key Bridge will have 370 rooms when this is completed. mum Marriott adds a prestige New York address: Essex House, Central Park South. 11 |
