(Disclosure: My family of three and I were gifted with a one-night stay at the Watermark in one of their king suites. They didn't tell me what to post, but disclosing it nonetheless.)
On a Saturday night in February, my family of three drove from D.C. under an hour to Tysons for a little staycation. Loving the city, we were a bit hesitant about spending a night in the suburbs, BUT our stay at the Watermark Hotel exceeded our expectations. Here's why.
1) Suites: Every room is a suite and ours was a king suite on the 23rd floor with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen (with an oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher), dining room, and workspace. It's a newer hotel so the design and style are nice and modern. The views are pretty overlooking the Virginian countryside and suburbs.
2) Amenities: The hotel has a full gym with all the equipment you'd need and it's open 24/7. A Japanese restaurant and bar is on the 11th floor near the lobby with a little store. Breakfast is included on the 9th floor and comes with a buffet of eggs, sausage, waffles, muffins, cold brew, etc.
3) Location: Right outside the 11th floor lobby is an outdoor space called The Perch. Most of it was closed since we went in the winter, but during warmer months, they have mini golf, swings, open space, bars, and food. The hotel is also in the same building as a new Wegman's and the Capital One Hall, a music and concert venue.
4) Staff: Everyone was very personable, kind, and on top of things. When we arrived, our suite has a purple tent set up for my daughter and games for her to play. So thoughtful and kind!
