The property has great vibe with modern interiors and excellent location in the heart of downtown DC. It is in walking distance to top rated restaurants, museums and lots of other monuments, famous government buildings.

Staying at the Arlo over Easter weekend STOOD OUT as our best stay this year. It was genuinely higher end and simultaneously a good value. The decor, room finishes, amount of space was 10/10. The staff was above and beyond nice. Don’t waste time anywhere else, just stay here and enjoy.
