Where to Stay When Visiting Leidos (Reston)

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

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

Direct answer: Visiting Leidos's HQ in Reston (1750 Presidents St): stay in the Reston / Herndon area near the office. Stay in Reston or Herndon near Leidos — the hotels around Reston Town Center and along the corridor sit minutes from the campuses and about 10 minutes from Dulles. This is its own market; DC is 25 miles east. Here the airport choice is easy: Dulles (IAD) is only about 10–15 minutes away — Reston sits in the Dulles Technology Corridor — while Reagan National (DCA) is ~30 minutes east and Baltimore (BWI) ~55. Fly Dulles. The Silver line now runs out here too, connecting Reston and Herndon to the airport and DC.

Leidos is a defense, IT, and science-and-technology contractor, headquartered at 1750 Presidents St, Reston, VA 20190. That's the Dulles Technology Corridor — Reston and Herndon along the Dulles Toll Road, the heart of Northern Virginia's defense-and-tech contractor belt (General Dynamics, Leidos, CACI, SAIC), now on Metro's Silver line.
