In the heart of Tysons Corner, where modernity meets timeless elegance, a symphony of clinking glasses and laughter dances through the air. As we embark on a journey through the city’s sophisticated cocktail culture, we invite you to experience the art of libation in a manner that mirrors the opulence and refinement of The Watermark Hotel. Join us as we explore four exceptional cocktail lounges – Salt, Air, Wren, and the virtual realm of DMV Spirits – each a testament to Tysons Corner’s commitment to the craft of mixology.

Salt – A Whiskey Bar

Our first stop on this curated journey is Salt, a whiskey connoisseur’s sanctuary located just a short drive away in Rosslyn. Much like The Watermark Hotel’s dedication to providing an exceptional stay, Salt is committed to offering a refined whiskey experience in a sophisticated atmosphere.

As you sip this concoction, you’ll find that every nuance of flavor is a celebration of craftsmanship, echoing the attention to detail that defines The Watermark Hotel.

Stepping into Salt is akin to entering a private library of fine spirits, where the amber hues of whiskey bottles create an enchanting ambiance. The “Tysons Reserve” cocktail, with its carefully balanced notes, pays homage to the local whiskey scene. Much like The Watermark Hotel, Salt’s commitment to quality and curated experiences transforms a simple visit into an indulgent exploration.

The intimate setting at Salt allows for meaningful connections, whether you’re sharing a dram of rare whiskey with friends or savoring a signature cocktail crafted by their expert mixologists. The Watermark Hotel’s dedication to creating a space that feels like a home away from home resonates in Salt’s warm and inviting atmosphere.

As you lounge on the rooftop, enveloped in the contemporary ambiance, you’ll discover that each sip at Air is a testament to the fusion of modernity and sophistication, a sentiment akin to The Watermark Hotel’s approach to luxury.

Ascending to Air’s rooftop lounge is a sensory journey that mirrors the spirit of Tysons Corner itself – vibrant, cosmopolitan, and always evolving. The “Skyline Serenity” cocktail, with its refreshing blend of flavors, becomes a metaphor for the city’s dynamic energy.

The panoramic views from Air’s rooftop, much like the vistas from The Watermark Hotel, create an unforgettable backdrop for your cocktail experience. It’s a space where you can unwind, engage in conversations, and immerse yourself in the contemporary allure of Tysons Corner.
