Nothing booked yet, just scouting around.

What area (and hotel if you have a recommendation) would be best to stay if flying out of IAD and 1) want a shuttle to the airport and 2) some restaurants nearby (or in the hotel)?

Would it be best to stay near Dulles Town Center, or Reston Town Center, or somewhere closer to IAD due to traffic?

Traffic would be time of day specific. Dulles Town Center is just a mall with chain restaurants. Reston Town Center has more options, but not sure if the hotels (Hyatt) have shuttles.

If you just want a decent place near the airport, I've stayed at the Dulles Westin twice. Clean and typical hotel bar/restaurant.

There are many good hotel/restaurant options if you stay near a Metrorail Silver station. No traffic worries either. Just be sure your airport arrival time is during Metrorail hours of operation. https://www.dctransitguide.com/m/SilverLine/

These days it might be worth a phone call to verify times of airport shuttles. I have noticed some airport hotels trimming the hours in which the shuttle was offered. Once we had to use an Uber because of an early morning flight.

Having said that - I have used the Doubletree IAD in Sterling with good results - but there are lots of choices!

Pretty good choice..their shuttle is efficient...and runs 24/7. It is in Herndon..I recall a Marriott literally close to the terminal..might be 250....westin under 100 would be good by local standards. There is a fun bar at westin..I didn't like having to register to use the wifi...had been on the go for 28 hours..three continents.
