Scaling Soulfully: The Story of The Archer Hotel and The Rise of Boutique Business Travel

Meet Peter Triolo, the General Manager of Archer Hotel Tysons, a standout boutique hotel that's redefining hospitality in Virginia.

With over eight years at Archer, Peter has been a driving force behind the brand's growth—from his beginnings at the Archer Hotel Napa to the expansion of unique properties across the country. His journey is all about creating genuine, memorable experiences that resonate with every guest.

Archer Hotels are more than just places to stay; they're immersive environments that reflect the soul of their local communities. Each hotel is thoughtfully designed with local inspiration—from the peach murals honoring Tysons' history as a former peach field to daily treats and cocktails that celebrate regional flavors.

Tune in to hear:

  • How Archer Hotels craft unique yet consistently welcoming experiences across different locations
  • The brand's philosophy of being playful, careful, and thoughtful in every guest interaction
  • Stories of personalized touches, like handwritten notes and special surprises that make stays unforgettable
  • Peter's insights on maintaining a boutique feel while the brand grows
  • The importance of community connections and supporting local artisans
  • And so much more
