Arlo DC

Arlo DC is a new 12-story, 445-room hotel incorporating the District’s oldest surviving apartment building, the 1888 Harrison apartments. The historic structure’s exterior walls and cast iron supported masonry vaults are restored and the deteriorated wood floors and roof replaced. Perched on Judiciary Square in the heart of Northwest DC, Arlo is a mix of two eras, juxtaposing old with new, featuring Arlo’s trademark contemporary guestrooms and generous public areas. The restored Harrison building boasts guestrooms and suites with exposed brick walls and vaulted ceilings, rooftop patios, along with a ground floor bar, lounge and meeting rooms fronting 3rd Street. The new 12-story addition features guestrooms and suites, a premier restaurant and bar, interior courtyard, fitness center, neighborhood bodega, additional retail space, and a breathtaking rooftop lounge, penthouse, and outdoor pool with views across Judiciary Square to the monuments beyond. Architecture, Inc. worked with Arlo to masterplan the full city block project, incorporating their unique brand standards (efficient rooms, oversize public amenities) across a very challenging site.
