Arlo Hotels, the trendy independent lifestyle brand known for its unique properties in cities like New York, Chicago, and Miami, is gearing up to make its debut in Washington, D.C. The highly anticipated hotel is set to open its doors on November 18, 2024, right in the heart of downtown D.C. Just steps away from popular destinations such as Penn Quarter, Judiciary Square, and Capitol Hill, this location is perfect for exploring the city.

The new 445-room hotel creatively integrates the district’s oldest surviving apartment building, the historic 1888 Harrison Apartments, with a modern 12-story addition. Recognized for its Romanesque Revival architecture, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

Imperial Hotel Tokyo review: The Jewel of the Orient Still Shines
Chair, Furniture, Architecture

A highlight of my last trip to Japan was sampling the country’s remarkably diverse styles of lodging. The first week found me in rustic ryokan, sleeping on tatami mats, slipping into a yukata, and soaking in geothermal baths beneath the stars. Later, in Nara, I stayed in a lovingly restored machiya, a 19th-century merchant townhouse converted into a boutique inn.

In Tokyo, I checked into Imperial Hotel Tokyo, Japan’s iconic Western-style grand dame. Nicknamed the Jewel of the Orient, it has welcomed foreign dignitaries, captains of industry, and Hollywood stars since 1890. It’s Japan’s answer to New York City’s Plaza Hotel—a venerated institution synonymous with opulence, impeccable service, and timeless elegance.

But the joke’s on the jokesters. Pickleball’s gained significant steam in just the last few years. In fact, pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in America. Can’t tell? Hit up your trendiest neighborhood bars. You’ll likely find a bar that now features a pickleball court or two. They’re springing up everywhere in Austin, TX, where I own a home. Hospitality groups are now jumping on the trend, combining people’s love for travel and pickleball.
