Hilton Hotels & Resorts today announced the opening of Hilton Arlington Rosslyn The Key, a landmark hotel poised to welcome a new evolution of hospitality for Hilton’s flagship brand. Located in Arlington, Va. at the base of the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge and rising 36 stories above the Potomac River, this hotel marks a significant milestone for Hilton Hotels & Resorts as the first property to debut the brand’s refreshed identity, a modernized expression of Hilton, reflected through enhanced design and reimagined service touchpoints.
“Hilton Arlington Rosslyn The Key represents a renewed vision for Hilton Hotels & Resorts, one that embraces the evolving needs of today’s traveler while honoring our legacy,” said Leonard Gooz, brand leader, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “With this hotel situated in Hilton’s global headquarters’ backyard, we’re fully committed to creating a space where energizing connections come to life every day – through dynamic meetings and events, elevated culinary experiences, and immersive moments that blend global perspectives with authentic local culture.”
The hotel features 331 contemporary guest rooms thoughtfully designed to balance bold architectural elements with organic touches—earthy blues and warm, inviting hues that echo the natural surroundings and energy of the city. Each space serves as a place to unwind and feel at home, with creative shapes inspired by the abstract flow of the Potomac River and curated details that reflect the spirit of the destination.
The property also offers 28,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, including nine meeting rooms with state-of-the-art equipment and The View at the Key on the 36th floor, a signature venue offering sweeping 360-degree views of Washington, D.C., the Potomac River, and Arlington’s skyline. Additional on-site amenities include a dedicated catering and events team, modern fitness center and inviting street-level retail outlets, including Scott’s Coffee proudly serving Starbucks.
Guests can also enjoy Locket, the hotel’s innovative destination restaurant blending refined steakhouse classics, fresh seafood, and creative dishes designed to surprise and delight. The all-day dining restaurant is located in a grand two-story space with expansive windows and features two private dining rooms for intimate events and corporate gatherings.

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2025 - 2026
Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.
Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.
We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.
Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
