The Westin Arlington is a full-service Marriott hotel at 801 N Glebe Road in Arlington’s Ballston neighborhood. It sits about two and a half blocks from the Ballston Metro station, which makes it a practical base for business travelers, wedding parties and families who want quick access to Washington, D.C. without staying downtown.
The hotel follows the Westin brand’s wellness focus. Rooms come with Heavenly beds, flat-screen TVs and refrigerators, and the property is dog-friendly. Guests can use a fitness studio and a heated indoor pool with a whirlpool, a welcome option during Northern Virginia’s humid summers and cold winters. For meals, Commentary Social House serves dinner, a Starbucks covers grab-and-go breakfast and lunch, and 24-hour room service is available (Apple Maps). The hotel’s meeting and event spaces host corporate gatherings and weddings throughout the year.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekday rates usually rise when government and corporate travel is heavy. Weekends often bring better value, except during spring cherry blossom season and major D.C. events. Couples planning weddings should book event dates well in advance.
Ballston Metro, on the Orange and Silver lines, connects to the National Mall in roughly 20 minutes. The Washington Monument is about 4.3 miles away. Ballston Quarter’s shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
