The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is a large waterfront resort and convention property on the Potomac River in National Harbor, MD. It features roughly 546,000 square feet of meeting space and a signature 19-story indoor garden atrium with sweeping views of the Potomac River. Amenities include newly renovated guest rooms and suites, the Old Hickory Steakhouse, a rooftop lounge, the 20,000-square-foot Relâche Spa, and an indoor pool. The resort is smoke-free and, as of February 2024, operates as a cashless property. It is ADA-compliant.
Parking is available on-site at the Gaylord National as well as in several National Harbor garages across the street from the resort. On-site options include valet and self-parking (daily rates apply, and rates change over time). Nearby National Harbor garages — including the St. George, Mariner, and Fleet garages — offer additional parking within a short walk. Because rates vary, confirm current pricing with the resort or via parking.nationalharbor.com before you travel.
