With its soaring ceilings, slate walls and marble floors, the lobby in the 15-story Westin Arlington Gateway never fails to impress. The grand staircase, with its walls of glass, sweeps up to the second floor. Swim laps in the heated indoor pool or burn calories on the cardio machines with individual video monitors. Afterward you can reward yourself with a soak in the hot tub. The 336 rooms have pillowtop mattresses covered with soft-to-the-touch linens and comforters. Flat-panel TVs with premium cable channels are standard amenities, and Wi-Fi access is offered at a daily rate. Ergonomic chairs make working at the well-lighted desks a pleasure. Bathrooms have showers with five massaging jets and high-end health and beauty products. There are a restaurant and coffee shop on the premises, as well as 24-hour room service. Parking is available for a fee.
