The Gaylord National Hotel

September 6, 2012 – 12:10 pm

The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is one of the largest hotel and convention center of the North East Coast located in National Harbor, Maryland and owned by Gaylord Hotels, a division of Gaylord Entertainment Company.

The hotel is situated along the shores of the Potomac River, downriver from Washington, DC, and across the river from Alexandria, Virginia which is about 12 miles from our Washington DC B&B.

For many of our guests who attend conferences or events at the Gaylord National, the easiest and the fastest way to go over there will be to take a cab from our DC Guest House. It will take you approximately30 minutes and will cost you around $35/one way.

You can also ride the metro but it will take you an hour and half to get to the Gaylord National Hotel: you will need to go to U street metro station and then take the green line towards Branch Ave. From there you will need to get a cab. Overall it will cost you around $15.
