Assistant General Manager

Constellation
Arlington, VA

Constellation
An escape in the heart of National Landing, Constellation is a café built for the rhythms of work, play, and discovery. Guests can expect specialty coffee from a variety of roasters, made-to-order meals, and deluxe grab-and-go options. The café menu blends comfort and creativity, featuring everything from gourmet salads and satisfying wraps to warm seasonal soups. Guests can also enjoy heartier plates like Rigatoni Bolognese, Pasta Primavera, and Pan Seared Salmon. A thoughtful retail section will include elevated snacks, wellness essentials, and everyday conveniences, perfect for workdays, travel times, and everything in between.

Altitude

Altitude is a refined cocktail and wine bar influenced by the glamour of midcentury air travel. The prominent bar of the space is designed to resemble an airplane wing structure, and custom nooks create an atmosphere of sophisticated comfort. Altitude’s on-premises sommelier draws inspiration from Pan Am’s golden-era routes, offering aged vintages with an American-meets-European sensibility.
