Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center: Luxury Vacationing on the Potomac

Luxury Hotels: Located right on the banks of the Potomac River, the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center offers guests everything they need to enjoy the capitol city and its vast surrounding area.

The Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center features multi-level indoor gardens, complete with a meandering river. The modern hotel was designed with guest convenience in mind. To that end, the hotel also features a wide array of first-class meeting and conference rooms, in addition to a fully equipped business center as well as networking areas, restaurants and even shopping. Each guest room not only features high-speed wireless Internet access, but an in-room safe where you can charge your laptop while you're out.

The "Everything in One Place" motto is no lie, given the complexity of the first-class destination. The Gaylord National provides a stunning 18-story glass atrium, 2000 luxurious rooms, including 110 lavish suites, as well as fine dining and casual restaurants. Additionally, unique shopping experiences, an indoor pool, a 20,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, as well as the two-story rooftop Pose Ultra Lounge all compliment the property. The surrounding area is a bastion of history and culture and the Gaylord National provides guests with easy access to see the sights of Washington, DC with an hourly shuttle service. During the summer, take a water taxi to Old Town Alexandria, Mount Vernon or other popular attractions.
