Looking for a great rehearsal dinner in Arlington? Connie can assist you with booking your dinner for up to 60 at Dan & Brad’s, the hotel’s Wine Spectator award-winning restaurant. See for yourself why On Tap Magazine declared Dan & Brad’s “so surprisingly good that you just might forget you’re in a hotel restaurant.”

Or, ask her to suggest one of several restaurants in walking distance of the hotel, from steaks to seafood to fine dining.

And inviting your out-of-town guests to Dan & Brad’s for a post wedding brunch is the most memorable way to embark on your newly married life.
