Hilton Arlington National Landing relaunches as tech-focused hospitality hub
The Newest Hotel in National Landing, Virginia’s Largest, Walkable Downtown Area
ARLINGTON, VA – Hilton Arlington National Landing has fully relaunched after a nine-month, multi-million dollar renovation that touched every part of the hotel. The massive undertaking is officially complete, which included an overhaul of the now 393 tech-forward guest rooms, state-of-the-art National Landing Hub with flexible meeting spaces and lounge areas, expansive ballrooms and inviting lobby. The property is central to the nation’s emerging new tech center – National Landing – home to Amazon HQ2 and Virginia Tech’s forthcoming Innovation Campus, all immediately accessible to passengers landing at Reagan National Airport. It is the first hotel to adopt the use of the National Landing moniker, a testament to the community’s exciting evolution.
The new National Landing Hub is the peak of modern connection and integrated design. With a 90 person capacity, 150-inch four-panel LED video wall and a 75-inch TV with wireless connectivity, it is the perfect space for business travelers and groups to gather for personal conversations and virtual meetings. With comfort in mind and equipped with glass white boards and 75-inch TVs also with wireless connectivity, the Pentagon Boardroom and Potomac Lounge is designed to fit the needs of any group.

The hotel is located just minutes away from Reagan National Airport, five miles from the District of Columbia, and central to the entire capital region, making it the ideal spot for leisure and business travelers alike. Guests who stay at the hotel are a short drive from the nation’s capital where a multitude of museums, monuments, attractions and restaurants await them.
Among 393 rooms, the fourteen Room 2 Work accommodations each feature a built-in desktop monitor, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and wireless phone charger for business travelers who welcome a space that aligns with their needs for optimal productivity and comfort. The five Peloton Wellness Rooms come with a Peloton Spin Bike, Peloton yoga mat, resistance bands, Therabody Theragun Elite and Wave Roller, and are perfect for those who want to keep up with their fitness regimen while on the move. Guests can opt to use the Hilton Peloton account or log in with their own credentials to keep track of their work outs.
