Westin Crystal City Celebrates Grand Opening on May 28 - Reintroduced, Reenergized, and Ready to Welcome
A Celebrated Return Brings Renewed Energy to Arlington’s National Landing District
Arlington, VA (April 21, 2026) - Following a highly anticipated transformation, Westin Crystal City (1800 Richmond Hwy) will officially celebrate its grand reopening on May 28, ushering in a new era of elevated hospitality in the heart of National Landing.
The milestone moment marks the hotel’s full return as a revitalized destination for business and leisure travelers alike, introducing a renewed energy to one of Northern Virginia’s most dynamic corridors. With its prime location just minutes from Washington, D.C. and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, the hotel is uniquely positioned to serve as both a gateway and a gathering place for the region.
“This grand opening represents more than a reopening, it’s a celebration of what Westin Crystal City has become,” said Vikas Lalwani, General Manager. “We are proud to welcome guests into a space that reflects both the vibrancy of National Landing and Westin’s commitment to well-being, connection, and modern travel.”
The grand opening debut signals the completion of the hotel’s repositioning, inviting guests to experience its refreshed identity firsthand from arrival to departure. As travel to the D.C. region continues to grow, Westin Crystal City is poised to meet the moment with thoughtful service, elevated design, and a strong sense of place. With more than 15,000 square feet of total event space, the Jefferson Ballroom sets the stage for an elevated event experience designed to do more than just host. The space is infused with natural textures and a calming, wellness-driven aesthetic, to create an ideal setting for impactful corporate meetings and unforgettable social gatherings alike.
Adding to the excitement, the hotel will soon introduce Stillwater & Stone, a new elevated yet approachable land & sea concept restaurant set to become a cornerstone of the guest experience. Designed as a gathering space, Stillwater & Stone will offer shareable bites, a curated wine selection, local & regional beers and specialty crafted cocktails - creating a destination for both locals and travelers. The concept reflects the hotel’s broader vision of connection and community, with additional details to be announced in the coming months.
The property will also feature a full-service coffee bar located at the front of the lobby, serving Commonwealth Joe, a beloved local café in Pentagon City, where guests can enjoy award-winning coffee throughout their stay. The Westin Crystal City reemerges as more than a place to stay, it is a modern hospitality destination designed to meet the needs of today’s traveler while contributing to the continued evolution of National Landing.
