I had a chance to visit the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner yesterday
while returning from a trip to the east coast and can offer this report. The
hotel is about 9 miles from the Herndon-Monroe park and ride facility which
in turn is only a few miles from Dulles (IAD). The hotel is on a small
hilltop and curioulsy withing walking distance of both a Hummer dealer and
and Prius dealer. The building has impressive architecture that’s largely
hidden from humans on the ground level (I guess building designs are sold
with models that humans view as though they were birds). The coolest feature
is an indoor pool and spa with a huge atrium that separates it from the
outdoor pool. The weirdest thing is that the spa is only open 7:00 to 11:00
(thats’ right, the jacuzzi is closed afternoon, evening, and night!). There’s
wireless Internet access on the first 9 floors. It’s direct connect above the
ninth floor. There’s a daily charge. There’s no charge to park. There are
numerous spots to meet, chat, hang out, drink, eat, and make friends. It
should be a terrific venue to have a 24 hour-a-day event that you never have
to leave. My opinion: Should make for the best BrickFest ever.
