Positioned in Arlington but just minutes from Washington DC, The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City offers easy access to the must-visit sites and museums in both historic locations.

The five-star hotel revealed a beautiful multi-million-dollar renovation of its public and culinary spaces in 2022. Drawing inspiration from its eclectic surroundings, a palette of rich blues and muted grays pay tribute to the Potomac River. 

There is also a nod to Arlington’s military pedigree in touches of gold and assertive monochrome detailing, like the striking twin marble reception desks. 

The hotel’s signature Sante restaurant is an elegant spot for dinner with an emphasis on Mediterranean flavors created using local and seasonal ingredients. 

A delectable afternoon tea beside the open fire is also served on weekends and is ideal for kids and adults alike. Grown ups can expect dainty sandwiches, hand-crafted pastries and a selection of loose-leaf teas, whilst young guests will enjoy a ‘Teddy Bear Tea’ with hot chocolate and a teddy bear to take home. 

It should also be noted that sustainability is taken seriously, with an impressive 100% of the kitchen’s food waste converted into organic compost in a program run in partnership with national firms Garick and BioGreen360. 

Eighteen storeys up from the kitchen (and the composting), occupying the hotel’s top floor,  you will find The Ritz-Carlton Suite. 

Offering a classically elegant hideaway with views over DC, the one-bedroom suite boasts a sumptuous king-sized bed with 400-count Frette linens, one and a half bathrooms and a whirlpool soaking tub. A spacious living and dining room offer all the comforts of an upscale apartment, perfect for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing or meetings. 

With the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge just down the hall, you won’t need to travel far for breakfast, lunch, dinner or cocktails, whilst the dedicated concierge will be able to create a bespoke itinerary to make the most of your stay.
