Clean, Contemporary Design Dazzles in Hotel's Reimagined Lobby, Ballroom, Meeting Spaces and Signature Restaurant, Santé.

The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, the only luxury hotel in Arlington, Virginia, is proud to debut a multimillion-dollar redesign of many of its public spaces, including the lobby, ballroom, meeting spaces and Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Santé. Concepted by interior design firm [Wilson Associates], the reimagined Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City draws design inspiration from its prime location in the greater Washington, D.C. region and exudes an incomparable level of comfort.

A Design That Is Distinctly D.C.

The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City was designed with native design touches throughout, creating a distinct aesthetic that cannot be replicated in any city other than the nation's capital. Design aspects like the color palette, with its timeless blues and muted grays, pay homage to the Potomac River, while allusions to the local flora and fauna appear in meaningful design elements throughout the property.

Situated amidst a burgeoning retail and technology hub, stylish lighting and innovative art installations in the hotel make a subtle nod to some of the world's largest retailers and corporations and their new home in National Landing. Furthermore, the military history of nearby Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon, coupled with the crisp and assertive style of the armed forces, comes to life through subtle details on the furniture and high-contrast black and whites, incorporated into the millwork, flooring, and expressive architectural embellishments.

Meetings Fit for a King… Or a President

With 17,000 square feet of ballrooms, meeting rooms and event spaces, The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City is poised to host a wide range of meeting types, complete with modern amenities and state-of-the-art technology systems.
