Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel’s Grand Opening Party

Arlington, Virginia, may often be considered the redheaded stepsister to high-profile Washington D.C., but last week traffic was headed to Crystal City for the Grand Opening party of the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel.
Guests were greeted with special Renaissance pilot wing pins, handed out by retro-themed ambassadors dressed in sleeveless stewardess orange mini-shift dresses and white gloves, side chingons peeking out from underneath their flight attendant hats. Stepping into the building, another flight attendant stood ready with a beverage cart bearing white wine, raspberry mojitos and apple orange spritzers as DJ Adrian Loving’s spun tunes from an elevated RLife LIVE stage.
The night was something District dwellers would remember: David Marriott and Virginia Congressman Jim Moran milling about the crowds; a custom Renaissance passport photobooth; upscale Middle Eastern, British and Chinese hors d’oeuvre stations that took guests on a ’round-the-world culinary tour to Renaissance’s new or upcoming locations in Qatar, London and Sanya; and a Chocolate Wonderland (yeah, you read that right) with cakes, fondues, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and chocolate and dessert wine pairings.
The 14th floor Sky Lounge was also open to guests, where Swarovski crystal-studded binoculars lended a view of the skyline and the Bromberg brothers served Blue Ribbon’s northern fried chicken, mini grilled cheese, and white bean toast on their signature oversized cherry wood boards.
However, the place to be at the end of the night was on the dance floor when DJ Mia Moretti and electric violinist Caitlin Moe took over the RLife LIVE stage, putting their unique twist on hits and getting the crowd on the dance floor with MGMT’s “Kids” and Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro.”
