HKS architect Eddie Abeyta is the designer behind the mixed-use development project. A press release for the project stated that Abeyta was influenced by the historical monuments around the district. The organizational concepts of master plans like L'Enfant and McMillan also influenced Abeyta's radiating streets and axial arrangements.

MGM Harbor's interior design resonates with the forest and water aesthetic of Maryland, while it also frames its surrounding views. Chefs Jose Andres, Marcus Samuelsson, and Bryan and Michael Voltaggio will add to the dining venues. A European-inspired pastry shop, Bellagio Patisserie, will further complement the luxurious setting with its 26-foot tall chocolate fountain circulating melted chocolate.
