Space Needle of Crystal City, anyone?
A rotating restaurant with 360-degree views of the Pentagon and National Mall is an often-overlooked Crystal City oddity. But the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel where it resides is hoping to make it more of an upscale dining destination with its reopening after a nearly three-year closure.
The circulating 15th floor room was built with the hotel in 1972 and has morphed over the years between a restaurant, nightclub, karaoke spot, comedy club, and back to a restaurant. It’s one of only a handful of rotating restaurants around the country, including, of course, one atop the Space Needle in Seattle. The 100-seat space makes a full rotation every 45 minutes with floor-to-ceiling views of the Washington Monument, Potomac River, Reagan National Airport, and more.
