The new hotel will bring new space for events and conferences, a full-service restaurant and lounge, indoor and outdoor pools, a business center, fitness room and gift shop.

“The development of this new facility is a tremendous step forward in completing our vision for the Marine Corps Heritage Center as a complex dedicated to the service of Marines,” said President & CEO of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation Lt.Gen Ron Christmas in a press release. “The addition of a hotel and conference center will not only advance the mission of the Marine Corps University, but also significantly benefit Marines and their families visiting the National Museum of the Marine Corps and Quantico Marine Corps Base, as well as all visitors to the historic attractions of Prince William County.”

The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the museum, was founded in 1979.
