Where to Stay When Visiting Boeing (Arlington)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Boeing's headquarters is in Arlington. Three airports serve the DC area — and Metro reaches some campuses. Which you pick decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Boeing's HQ in Arlington (929 Long Bridge Dr): stay in the National Landing area near the office. Stay in National Landing / Crystal City near Boeing — the hotels here are minutes from the campus, the Metro, and Reagan National, several with airport shuttles. There's no reason to base across the river in DC for a National Landing visit. This one's simple: Reagan National (DCA) is about 5 minutes away — National Landing is practically next to it, and several hotels run an airport shuttle. Dulles (IAD) is ~35 minutes west for long-haul, Baltimore (BWI) ~50. For most trips here, fly DCA.

Boeing is a global aerospace and defense manufacturer, headquartered at 929 Long Bridge Dr, Arlington, VA 22202. That's National Landing — Crystal City and Pentagon City in Arlington, beside Reagan National and the Pentagon, now home to Amazon's HQ2 and Boeing's headquarters, on Metro's Blue and Yellow lines.
