Welcome to Arlo Washington DC

Our hotel combines modern comfort with a rich historical legacy. Arlo Washington DC is housed within the carefully restored Harrison Apartment building, originally constructed between 1888 and 1890 and recognized as DC’s oldest known surviving conventional apartment building. This unique project honors the past while embracing the future, blending the historic charm of The Harrison with a new, thoughtfully designed 12-story structure. Completed in 2024, our hotel now features 445 rooms, offering guests an experience rooted in the heritage of Washington DC with all the conveniences of today.
