I was born in DC more than 70 years after said hotel was demolished, however, I can recognize by the way they write that "The Arlington" (always appearing with an article) is presumably a place in the District. No one would presume that kind of social crowd to be in Virginia, especially the further you go back in time.
Googling around I found a claim that it was on the current site of the Veterans Affairs offices, which would put it on Vermont Ave NW near I St.
