A New Chapter Above the Potomac: Le Méridien Arlington Unveils a Transformed Hotel and the Debut of Noble Fox Bar & Terrace

Le Méridien Arlington has unveiled the completion of a comprehensive hotel renovation, marking a new chapter for the property and its place in the Greater Washington, D.C. hospitality landscape. The transformation encompasses the hotel’s 156 guest rooms, updated public spaces, and a newly added La Vue Ballroom, along with the debut of Noble Fox Bar & Terrace, a cocktail-forward American brasserie where classic meets clever.

A Refreshed Experience from Check-In to Check-Out

Every touchpoint of the guest journey was carefully considered, beginning with 156 updated guest rooms and suites designed by The Gettys Group. Drawing on Le Méridien’s signature mid-century modern aesthetic and taking cues from the property’s distinctive vantage point overlooking the Potomac River and the Georgetown skyline, the redesign layers warm, tailored design with the practical needs of today’s traveler.

Guest rooms and suites feature a warm palette of deep navy, burgundy, and taupe, with tailored wood and leather furnishings, constellation-themed wallcoverings, and sculptural lighting. Curated artwork throughout pays homage to Arlington’s distinct civic and cultural identity — from its military heritage to its evolving modern character.

The hotel’s public space has also been transformed, with Prime AE leading updates across the property’s five meeting and event venues. The all-new La Vue Ballroom spans over 1,800 square feet and accommodates up to 120 guests for social celebrations and corporate gatherings, set adjacent to the expansive La Terrasse outdoor event space. New custom floral carpeting, brass chandelier lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows complete the room’s updated character and make it ideal as an elegant wedding option.

Introducing Noble Fox Bar & Terrace 

Central to the hotel’s transformation is the debut of Noble Fox Bar & Terrace, a fourth-floor brasserie-style gathering place where thoughtful cocktails, shareable dishes, and easy conversation converge. The venue features a menu crafted by Le Méridien Arlington Executive Chef Francecil Ponte. Perched above the Potomac River with a terrace made for lounging, it is equally primed for a post-work happy hour or an unhurried evening at the table.

Inspired by the quiet instinct of the fox — always in the right place at the right time — Noble Fox is the kind of place that rewards those who trust their taste. Curious by nature. Discerning by instinct.

The space is anchored by a showstopping curved marble bar beneath a sculptural brass chandelier, with a lounge environment that mixes rich wood tones, velvet seating, and floral upholstery details. Seated here, guests can expect a cocktail menu that balances classic technique with a sense of play, for both spirited and zero-proof sippers alike.

Where the Capital Meets Its Match

Nestled in the heart of Rosslyn, Le Méridien Arlington is just steps from the Metro and minutes from Georgetown, the National Mall, and the broader Washington, D.C. metro area. Arlington has emerged as one of the region’s most dynamic addresses as a walkable, transit-connected community with a growing residential population, thriving dining scene, and civic identity shaped by both storied history and forward momentum. The hotel’s views of Georgetown across the Potomac River remain among its defining features, a vantage point that informs the design of the property and its terrace experience.
