Where to Stay When Visiting Northrop Grumman (Falls Church)

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

Northrop Grumman's headquarters is in Falls Church. Three airports serve the DC area — and Metro reaches some campuses. Which you pick decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Northrop Grumman's HQ in Falls Church (2980 Fairview Park Dr): stay in the the Falls Church / Merrifield area area near the office. Stay near Fairview Park or the Mosaic District, close to Northrop Grumman — the hotels here are minutes from the campus, and Mosaic's dining is a short shuttle or walk. Downtown DC is 20 minutes east and unnecessary for a Falls Church visit. Falls Church sits between the airports: Reagan National (DCA) is about 20 minutes east, Dulles (IAD) about 25 west — pick by your connection. Baltimore (BWI) is a farther ~55. The Orange line's Dunn Loring station is nearby, with a hotel shuttle.

Northrop Grumman is a global aerospace and defense technology company, headquartered at 2980 Fairview Park Dr, Falls Church, VA 22042.
