Sheraton Premier at Tysons Corner Unveils Multi-million Dollar Renovation
March 27, 2012 - Sheraton Hotels & Resorts and The JBG Companies are proud to announce the completion of a historic renovation of the Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner Hotel.

On the 24th floor, the Sheraton Club Lounge provides sweeping views of the Washington DC metro area.
