The only waterfront resort in the Washington, D.C. region, Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center is located just eight miles from downtown D.C., in National Harbor, Maryland. The property was named one of the Top 50 Meeting Destinations in the United States. Winner of the “Best Convention Center Hotel” by Smart Meetings, Gaylord National features world-class service, 480,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space, state-of-the-art facilities, award-winning dining, a resort spa, entertainment and more—all under one roof.

With flexible meeting space that can hold events that range from 10 to 10,000 people, Gaylord National provides customizable experiences for each group. The flawless service at Gaylord National Resort includes a dedicated team of meeting professionals assigned to groups, chefs who happily cater to culinary desires and an expert in-house A/V and technology connectivity team.

The resort is embarking on a $20 million facility expansion that will include a dramatic, freestanding 24,000-square-foot building with a ballroom and 16,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. It is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016.
