Fairfax County, Virginia is the ideal location to hold your next business meeting, annual convention, sporting event, or to schedule a group tour. Located across the Potomac River from Washington, DC, we offer meeting attendees incredible convenience.

Over half of the United States population lives within a day’s drive (450 miles) of Fairfax County. Once here, attendees will enjoy all that the area has to offer, from world-class attractions like George Washington’s Mount Vernon and the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, to the monuments, memorials and museums of our Nation’s Capital, to fine dining, exciting and varied entertainment, great golfing, and fantastic shopping at Tysons Corner, well-known as “The Rodeo Drive of the East Coast”. With over 18,000 hotel rooms, we have accommodations to fit every taste and pocketbook, and our twenty meeting hotels offer an unmatched combination of great room rates, ample meeting space, outstanding facilities, and friendly service. Almost all of our hotels offer free parking. Metrorail service to the Tysons Corner and Reston areas of the county begins operating in late 2013, and will make getting around even easier than ever!
