Ever see a million bucks? How about five million? Everyone knows that Tysons has the corner on the shopping and fun, but what about extended stay lodging? Your search has ended for a convenient, comfortable and upscale place to soothe a weary soul on a long trip. Enter Staybridge Suites, winner of the coveted IHG Renovation of the Year award – right here in McLean.
Staybridge Suites hotel has undergone a massive renovation; the grand construction clocked in at a cool $5M+, and it shows. What’s new? Let’s start with the entire great room entry, buffet area, every suite and all its contents, in-room appliances, business center, and… you get the picture. Poolside to fireplaces, it’s all new.
Back up a bit to the beginning; Staybridge Suites McLean-Tysons Corner is locally owned and operated. The hotel opened its doors right after the tragic 9/11 events in September 2001, responding to the need for comfortable, safe accommodations near Washington. The hotel is located in a quaint and affluent setting in McLean, away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the area.
What’s unusual about this hotel is that it offers fully-functioning suites (small apartment-style hotel suites from studios to two-bedroom, two-bath suites), free breakfast, mid-week dinners, and convenient storage units. Family vacation with Fido? He’s welcome too. Staying off and on again through the months for business? They’ve got that issue covered with new full-size storage units so guests don’t need to lug everything to and from home base. If staying in and relaxing at the end of the day is on the agenda, every suite now has new stainless steel kitchen appliances, granite countertops, ceramic backsplash, all new modern furnishings, and of course powerful wi-fi. Down in the reception area you’ll find a huge new great room with two-story stone gas fireplace, business center and gathering area with IMAC Apple computers, breakfast and social areas, new fitness center with all new equipment, and a new gas fire pit outside to complement the swimming pool and BBQ areas.
With access to a local racquet club, washers and dryers, shuttle service, and omelets every weekend, it’s actually too bad that we don’t live elsewhere. Because we could stay here!
