Concorde, a 12,000-square-foot meeting and event venue at 2011 Crystal Drive, is now open in Arlington’s National Landing, near the Pentagon, Amazon’s headquarters, and Reagan National Airport, with room for up to 470 guests.
Rooms Sized for Keynotes and Quiet Board Dinners
Named for the supersonic jet, Concorde centers on the Johnson Forum, a presentation hall that seats 300 with an adjoining green room. Five smaller spaces, including the Archer Conference Room, McCampbell Studio, and Glenn Board Room, handle breakouts and private dinners. Wireless microphones come standard in every room, with plug-and-play video conferencing and digital signage on hand.
Pineapple and Pearls Alumni Shape the Menu
Chicago restaurateur David Morton’s Episcope Hospitality runs the food program with chefs from Michelin-starred Pineapple and Pearls. Episcope also operates Altitude, a wine bar and vinyl listening lounge, and Constellation, an all-day cafe, in the same building, where Pineapple and Pearls alumni Mariela Pacheco and Andres Lopez lead the kitchens.
A Neighborhood Built for Fly-In Meetings
JLL’s Experience Management team operates the venue, and the surrounding blocks keep adding travel links. JLL points to the planned CC2DCA pedestrian bridge to the airport, a future VRE and Amtrak station, and a 330-room hotel under development nearby. Association planners, defense and tech teams, and companies flying staff into DCA will find the location especially convenient.
Concorde sits at 2011 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202, and is reachable by Metro. Pricing is not publicly listed, so planners can submit an inquiry online or call 571-596-2275. Garage parking enters at 23rd Street South and Crystal Drive, with red signs pointing to the 2011 section.
