Veranda is an al fresco extension of Farena located under a covered patio. Tomar El Sol, translated to “drink up the sun,” is located poolside, a market, and a coffee shop. A pan-Asian fusion concept by Berg Hospitality, Soy Cowboy, will open mid-year.
More to Come
A third Loews Arlington property will be opening in September 2026. The City of Arlington in December released the project overview of the third Loews property. This hotel will replace the existing Sheraton Arlington, with the groundbreaking expected to take place in December 2025.
The $410 million project will add a minimum of 25,000 sq. ft. of meeting space and 500 or more upscale guest rooms. The expected economic output is estimated at $3.1 billion over the next 30 years. The city and county will take in $711 million in net benefits for the same period. The new property will create 250 new permanent jobs – along with 1,200 construction jobs involved in the build.
