Where to Stay When Visiting Gannett (Tysons)
Gannett's headquarters is in Tysons. Three airports serve the DC area — and Metro reaches some campuses. Which you pick decides the trip.
Gannett is a media and news company (USA Today and local newspapers), headquartered at 7950 Jones Branch Dr, McLean, VA 22107. That's Tysons — Northern Virginia's high-rise edge city in McLean, home to Capital One, Freddie Mac, Hilton, and Booz Allen, now stitched to DC and Dulles by Metro's Silver line.
“Gannett — USA Today's parent — is on Jones Branch in Tysons. Book a Tysons hotel by the Metro and you're a walk or a stop away.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
