Why Choose Our Destination?

National Harbor is a community unlike any other in the D.C. region, designed to take full advantage of the most historic river in the nation. Rising from the banks of the Potomac River, just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Prince George’s County, MD, National Harbor is a 350-acre resort destination that includes the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, with over 600,000 sq. feet of meeting space, Tanger Outlets, thousands of hotel rooms, hundreds of residential and office units, tree-lined promenades with scores of popular shops and restaurants, a marina, and The Capital Wheel – a 180-foot observation wheel featuring panoramic views of the nation’s capital. In December 2016, MGM Resorts International opened a $1.4 billion integrated casino resort complex on 23 acres overlooking the Potomac River. The MGM National Harbor boasts a 24-story, 308-room hotel, 50,000 sq. feet of meeting space, 125,000 sq. feet of gaming, 18,000 sq. feet of high-end retail, 12 restaurants from renowned local and national chefs, and a 3,000 seat theater.
