NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., July 30,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Offering a taste of the striking
interiors to come within the $1.3
billion resort, MGM National Harbor today unveiled the
design of its luxurious guest rooms. Taking inspiration from the
nation's capital, MGM National Harbor embraces a thoughtful design
approach while catering to the modern expectations of today's
discerning travelers.
"The room designs are just the first peek into the incredible
collection of amenities we've curated to create an unparalleled
experience for locals and visitors from around the world," said MGM
National Harbor General Manager Bill
Boasberg. "In an area steeped in tradition, MGM National
Harbor will honor the region's legacy through its design elements
while creating a sophisticated resort experience."
The architectural vision of MGM National Harbor embodies a
contemporary, bold and progressive design achieved by seamlessly
integrating natural materials to create simple, yet elegant,
spaces.
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.

International (NYSE: MGM) family, MGM National Harbor is located on
