| Waterview Conference Center Offers Dramatic Views and Flexible Space |
|
| Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Arlington announced late last month that it is now affiliated with Waterview Conference Center, a previously private 15,000-square-foot function space owned by Corporate Executive Board, a company that provides education and best practices research to Fortune 500 executives. Both venues are housed in the Waterview Towers complex in Rosslyn, and the conference center is connected to the 154-room hotel by a fourth-floor covered walkway. |

The conference center, which opened in May 2008, was designed by New York-based Pei Cobb Freed & Partners (the firm responsible for the expansion and modernization of Paris’s Louvre museum), with modern interior design by California-based Gensler & Associates.
Housed on the 23rd and 24th floors, with sweeping views of the Potomac River and a sizable portion of Washington, the center offers 14 rooms that accommodate 10 to 200 for meetings and events. The largest spaces—the Riverview Classroom, which seats 76, and the University North/South dining room, which holds 130 for banquets and 185 for receptions—each measure 2,643 square feet. All meeting space features advanced audiovisual capabilities and high-speed wireless Internet, and most rooms have built-in LCD projectors and screens. Restaurant Associates is the exclusive caterer for the facility.
Hotel Palomar Arlington, which opened in late 2007, has an additional 3,200 square feet of flexible event space.
