Working with Cooper Carry was a great overall experience. The team understood the importance of incorporating brand standards into each project, and in our case, they were able to do this while skillfully navigating the many zoning and architectural hurdles that exist in Alexandria, Virginia. The result is a beautifully designed hotel that meets our guests’ high expectations and has become a wonderful addition to the Starwood family. — Kevin J. Stimpson, Project Director, Starwood Hotels
