An Insider's Take
'This massive glass atrium resort sits dramatically on the Potomac River waterfront, offering a Vegas-style experience just minutes from the nation's capital.' What's Special? The Gaylord National features a stunning 19-story glass atrium filled with lush gardens, waterfalls, and seasonal decorations. As the largest non-gaming hotel on the East Coast, it boasts its own indoor Old Hickory Steakhouse and SoundWaves water experience. The resort sits on National Harbor's waterfront, offering direct access to MGM National Harbor casino and the iconic Capital Wheel observation wheel.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Potomac River view room on floors 10+ for stunning sunrise views over the water and direct sightlines to Alexandria's historic waterfront across the river.
Don't Miss Take the complimentary shuttle to the National Harbor Pier for Potomac River cruises to Georgetown or Old Town Alexandria. The resort's famous holiday displays (November-January) transform the entire atrium into a winter wonderland with ice sculptures and millions of twinkling lights.
