What’s new at the Holiday Inn Arlington? Our Ballston hotel is more than a brick building filled with a bunch of beds, ballrooms and buffet breakfasts. We have a team of almost 100 hospitality professionals, all of whom are eager to ensure your visit to our Virginia hotel is even better than you expected.

Testimonials
We encourage feedback from all guests. We love to hear positive words from satisfied customers, especially when employees are recognized by name, so we can in turn recognize those employees for a job well done. Like any hotel, we do receive some comments where our guest was not 100% satisfied; it’s never fun to deal with a complaint, but we try to use those situations as opportunities to listen, learn, and improve. Please use our Contact Us page to share your comments with our General Manager.
