See The Sweeping Views From Rosslyn’s 36-Story Hilton Hotel

ARLINGTON, VA — Hilton Arlington Rosslyn The Key will celebrate its first anniversary Aug. 26, marking one year since the 36-story hotel opened along the Potomac River.

The Hilton is part of The Key, a 1.3 million-square-foot mixed-use development constructed on the former site of the Holiday Inn Rosslyn. The 307-room Holiday Inn operated at the location for more than 50 years before it was demolished in 2020.

Guest rooms at the Hilton begin on the 20th floor, providing views of Arlington and Washington, D.C. The property is also near Reagan National Airport, giving guests a vantage point for watching planes arriving and departing.

Hotel Includes Restaurants And Event Space

The View at The Key, an event venue on the hotel’s 36th floor, has floor-to-ceiling windows and 360-degree views of the Washington skyline, the Potomac River and Arlington.

The property also includes Locket Restaurant, Pendant Bar & Lounge, Scott’s Coffee and nearly 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

Located one block from the Rosslyn Metro station, the hotel provides access to Georgetown, the National Mall, Arlington National Cemetery and other destinations in the Washington region.

The hotel is promoting its location as a possible Labor Day staycation for Northern Virginia residents. Its elevated rooms also offer views of fall foliage across Arlington, the Potomac River and Washington as the seasons change.

Additional seasonal offerings are planned for the fall, according to information provided by the hotel. Details were not announced.

The Hilton’s anniversary comes as Rosslyn continues to redevelop properties that once included older hotels and office buildings. The Key replaced one of the neighborhood’s longtime landmarks while retaining the site’s use as a hospitality destination.
