Washington, D.C. is always a crowd-pleaser — and with three of Archer’s boutique hotels in the area you’re guaranteed the perfect stay for any adventure you’ve got in mind.
The capital city’s iconic monuments, historic sites, and museums are must-sees, but we’ve also created this guide highlighting the top three things to do around each of our hotels — helping you dive into the unique neighborhoods and storied history each location has to offer.
Falls Church
You’ll fall in love with our Mosaic neighborhood — a lively, walkable district with 80+ shops, restaurants and services — right outside our front door at Archer Hotel Falls Church. Located just one mile from the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro stop, it’s easy to get to downtown D.C.
- The Mosaic District features shopping, restaurants, a year-round farmers’ market and an interactive fountain. There is something for all ages right outside our door. If you’re traveling with family, this destination is likely to rise to the top of your list.
- There really is so much to do at Mosaic. Do you love movies? The Angelika at Mosaic is a cutting-edge cinema with eight screens showcasing all the latest and greatest films.
- For an interactive experience, check out the Cyber Raccoon Escape Room. This is unlike any other escape room with its high-tech concepts and special effects, you are sure to be intrigued.
Tysons
Find us just steps from the McLean Silver Line Metro station in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Scotts Run South and a short walk to the Capital One Center entertainment district and many Fortune 500 companies — Archer Hotel Tysons has a level of sophistication unlike any other.
- If shopping is on your list — look no further. From the Tysons Galleria’s high-end retailers (1.3 miles from Archer Tysons) to Tysons Corner Center’s colossal 300+ stores (1.1 miles from Archer Tysons), you cannot find a better place to be if you love to shop.
- Capital One Hall features concerts, theater and entertainment year-round. Top-rated Broadway shows and headline musical and comedy artists will leave you coming back again and again.
- Relax at The Perch, Tysons’ rooftop mini golf experience. While there, enjoy food trucks, a lively bar area and plenty of room to play, dine and create memories.
Old Town Alexandria
Discover the charm and history of Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria — tucked into the famed King Street Mile and surrounded by centuries-old architecture, enchanting brick sidewalks and 200+ shops, eateries and history. If you want to explore further (we’re not sure you would ever need to) we’re two blocks to the King St-Old Town Metrorail station.
- Old Town is a delightful destination featuring independent shopping boutiques, waterfront dining and the George Washington National Masonic Memorial. Rent a bike and ride along the Potomac for a view of D.C. that you’ve never seen before.
- You won’t want to miss the Torpedo Factory Art Center, home to the nation’s largest collection of working artists’ open studios. You will leave inspired.
- We love visiting the Old Town Farmers’ Market. This is the oldest farmers’ market in the country with over 70 vendors offering delicious fresh food, flowers, jewelry, and art.
No matter which location catches your eye, you’re sure to have a wonderful visit — filled with delightful surprises and sincere services, always.
