Renaissance Inn Crystal City Potomac Yards

Arlington will soon welcome new visitors to the County with the opening of three new hotels in the near future. The hotels will add nearly 1,000 additional hotel rooms to an existing supply of over 10,000 and will bring with them new retail and restaurants for residents and visitors alike.
The Residence Inn at Courthouse celebrated its grand opening in September 2009. The eco-friendly hotel meets Arlington County LEED requirements and is a leader in green practices and awareness. The hotel features 176 guest rooms, plus space for a high-end restaurant and retail shops at the ground level.
South of Courthouse, additional hotels are quickly shaping up. In Shirlington, the Hilton Garden Inn Shirlington completes the final phase of construction for the new Shirlington Village. With an opening slated for December 2009, the seven-story Hilton Garden Inn Shirlington will add 142 new hotel rooms, a swimming pool and 1,290 square feet of meeting space on the first floor. Parking will be provided at the new 750-space garage across S. Stafford Street.
In Crystal City, construction is now underway on a two-hotel project located in the Potomac Yard area of Crystal City. The Marriott Renaissance and Residence Inns will operate separately but will be joined at the garage and at the first few above-grade levels. One hotel will be a 300-room Renaissance while the second hotel will be a 325-room Residence Inn. The Marriott Renaissance will be the first Renaissance branded hotel in Arlington. The hotels will have separate lobbies but will share amenities and meeting rooms.
