Arlington, VAWashington, DC

Donated by Virginia to the United States in 1801 and originally part of Washington, DC, Arlington has served as the headquarters to many governmental department and agencies.

The land of Arlington completed the “square” of Washington, DC. (It is labeled as Alexandria County in the animated picture below) It was retroceded back to Virginia in 1846 because the residents felt like they had no voice. They were no longer a part of Virginia, and didn’t feel like a part of Washington. Yet due to its proximity to the National Mall, today Arlington has the feel of Washington DC.

The Washington, DC/Arlington area features a number of attractions.

Notable Places:Arlington National CemeteryThe Pentagon – Headquarters of the

US Department of Defense

The White HouseNational Mall (partial list)

National Air and Space Museum Washington MonumentLincoln MemorialMuseum of Natural HistorySmithsonian Institution Building

Dupont CircleGeorgetown University

Crystal Gateway Marriot

Hotel is located less than 1 mile from Reagan International yet does not have the feel of a hotel right next to an airport.

While not in Washington DC, Central, it is only about 2 miles from the National Mall, and almost the same exact distance from the National Mall as the next closest option.

The hotel is less than a mile from the Pentagon and the Pentagon Memorial.

The hotel has direct access to the metro line via underground passage.

The hotel is connected to the Crystal City Shops via underground passage. The Crystal City Shops have numerous trendy shops and a very large variety of food options for all price levels.
