About us

By grand design, The Mayflower Hotel was built to be part of the D.C. social scene; its impressive 40,000 square feet of sweeping ballrooms and elegant conference rooms and promenades offering an inviting stage for world affairs and signature celebrations in Washington, DC. Meetings and events at The Mayflower take on a certain sophisticated aura, awash in a history rich with credentials; from company-wide meetings to VIP roundtables, and from royal receptions to society weddings. Step into the timeless magnificence of the Grand Ballroom, which has served as the backdrop for every Presidential Inaugural Ball from Coolidge through Reagan. Walk with dignitaries in the Palm Court with its muralled walls, iconic domed skylight, and imposing crystal chandeliers. A host through and through, The Mayflower remains charming and venerable.
