An indoor lap pool with an elevated spa tub has a glass ceiling and walls of windows overlooking the airport, Potomac River, and the wooded hills of suburban Virginia. Adjacent to the pool is a patio with lounge chairs for use during warmer months. The fitness center offers cardio equipment and free weights, and a unisex sauna is also provided.
Less than a half-mile from this Arlington hotel, runners and cyclists can access the path that runs along the George Washington Memorial Parkway at National Airport. This gently rolling path weaves through woods past views of the river on its way to Mount Vernon, 11 miles south.
Just over 5 miles from the Marriott is Hains Point, with an 18-hole course perched on the banks of the Potomac River. A two-tier driving range is offered here, as well as a miniature golf course that is on the National Register for Historic Places.
