The KGB safe house where Lt. Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) is being questioned - it stood on the southeast corner of South Arlington Ridge Road and 20th Street South, Arlington, Virginia. It was later demolished and replaced with another house. The intersection is still recognizable.

Defense Secretary Brice (Gene Hackman) and his General Counsel Scott Pritchard (Will Patton) meet over breakfast – P.O.V. Roof Terrace and Lounge, Hotel Washington, 515 15th Street NW, Washington DC

When they exit the building, it's actually the Hay-Adams Hotel, 800 16th NW, Washington DC

Tom’s apartment – 1503 30th Street NW, Washington, DC

Tom’s new assignment - The Pentagon, 1600 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC (that's the official address though the Pentagon is actually located in Arlington County, Virginia.)

Pritchard has come to pick up Susan (it's also the house where she gets killed later) – 101 Quay Street, Alexandria, Virginia

Tom and Susan are going away for the weekend – George Washington Memorial Parkway, Washington DC

Tom enters "the Georgetown Metro Station" which is actually the Canal side entrance to Shops at Georgetown Park (now closed), 3222 M Street NW, Washington, DC. No filming took place inside the mall.

The subway interiors were filmed in the Baltimore Metro system.

In 2013, the property was leased to The Trump Organization for 60 years. The latter turned it into a luxury hotel, Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. which opened in September 2016.
