Saul Company Hospitality Group of Bethesda, Maryland. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Dulles Airport Herndon/Reston features the brand’s new design and furnishings, which enhance the guest experience through flexible features, and a warm and welcoming environment.
Located in downtown, historic Herndon and just six miles from the Dulles International Airport, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Dulles Airport Herndon/Reston offers guests convenient access to Reston Town Center, Wolf Trap Performing Arts Center, the W&OD Trail and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center National Air and Space Museum.

From the moment they arrive, guests are welcomed by the hotel’s modern, bright new design features, including an updated exterior and inviting entrance that ushers them into the hotel. Once inside, guests experience the hotel’s open public space featuring natural light and views throughout the lobby to connect the indoors with the outdoors. Consistent with the Fairfield brand’s heritage of great service and a warm welcome, guests are greeted by associates who can easily move from behind the angled front desk to interact and answer questions.
"We are delighted to welcome guests to our new Fairfield inn & Suites,” said Ken Abrom, general manager, Fairfield Inn & Suites Dulles Airport Herndon/Reston. “Our new hotel offers them a seamless blend of modern style and functionality that allows them to settle in and thrive while on the road."
In the lobby area, guests can choose to be productive, relax or enjoy breakfast or a snack in a modern and flexible environment featuring a vibrant, natural color palette of greens, blues and oranges. The welcoming lobby gives guests ample connectivity options, as well as a “connect and print” area that offers both standing and seated Internet stations. Guests can also unwind in the lobby’s living area - or they can grab a drink or snack item from the 24/7 Corner Market.
The breakfast area’s signature farm table provides a central gathering place where guests can watch television, meet up with colleagues or get work done. In the morning, guests can enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, choosing from oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, make-your-own waffles and other healthy items, such as fruit, yogurt, and whole grain cereals and breads.
The signature “smart” room decor warmly welcomes guests into a comfortable, productive and restful environment. Flexible and functional, the guest room includes a well-designed work area, an ergonomic chair, task lighting and electrical outlets where guests need them. A curved, mobile desk enables guests to create their own work space, while also optimizing their television viewing.
Inspired by nature, the hotel’s thoughtfully designed rooms and suites place the living and working area near the window to allow for more natural light and views. Building on this natural design, the room decor features organic patterns and fresh colors, blending wood tones with bright pops of color. The new design helps to give guests a better night’s sleep on plush mattresses, as well as easier access to the bathroom and wardrobe. Each room also features a Keuriga coffeemaker and a Bittel UNOMedia 5 phone.
Additional hotel amenities include an expanded fitness center, valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as fax and copy services.
