Hilton is set to open a new property just outside the nation's capital. The 36-story, 331-room Hilton at The Key, Arlington-Rosslyn, will be located at the foot of the Potomac River’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in Arlington, Va. The property is under development as part of The Key, a mixed-use development that includes a destination restaurant, street-level retail and apartments. Once completed, Hilton at The Key will have approximately 28,000 square feet of meeting spaces, including an event space on the 36th floor with 360-degree views of the Washington, D.C., skyline, the Potomac River and Arlington.
“Dittmar Company is proud to partner with Hilton as we bring a true destination meeting and event facility to Arlington, Va., and the surrounding [District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia] area,” Greg Raines, an executive at Dittmar, said in a statement. “This site has been part of the Dittmar Company portfolio of Northern Virginia assets for more than 50 years. Dittmar Company and RentDittmar.com continue to establish a reputation for quality construction and dedicated management. This exciting development of The Key is another part of that progression, and we are thrilled to have Hilton as a part of the project and the Dittmar team.”
Located close to the Rosslyn Metro Station, Georgetown and the National Mall, The Key is less than five minutes from Reagan International Airport. Previously home to a 307-room full-service hotel for more than 50 years, the original hotel was demolished to make way for 1.3-million-square-foot Key development.
“The signing of Hilton at The Key, Arlington-Rosslyn heralds an exciting addition to the global footprint of our flagship brand right in our own backyard,” said Leonard Gooz, global brand head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “This new development will be located in the most prime location of the area and will be a highly desired destination for leisure and business travelers visiting northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C., metro area.”
