The Mason Inn Conference Center and Hotel at George Mason University

 

The Mason Inn consists of a 25,000-square-foot technologically advanced conference area integrated with a 149-room hotel.  The complex includes a restaurant, lounge, ballroom and 11 meeting rooms. The facility is designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, and it will be operated by ARAMARK Higher Education Conference Centers to the standards of the International Association of Conference Centers.
 

The Mason Inn will help raise the profile of this fast-growing university by providing a high-quality venue for university events, academic conferences and other activities.
 

Concord Eastridge’s role as master developer included the design and construction oversight, operator selection and development management of this 135,000 square foot project.  The development team was formed under University Hotel Partners, LLC which is a joint venture between Concord Eastridge, Inc. and Balfour Beatty Construction. ARAMARK Higher Education is the hotel operator.

Construction began in the fall of 2008 and opened July 2010.
