Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
Maryland
Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center brings an expansive indoor landscape to the banks of the Potomac at National Harbor. Its 19-storey glass atrium encloses 1.5 acres of gardens, with paths, gathering spaces and dining venues beneath the roof. Washington, DC is within reach, while the harbour promenade lies outside. Old Hickory serves steaks and Maryland seafood, and Harbor Social combines drinks with duckpin bowling. Other spaces include a whisky bar and an elevated cocktail lounge overlooking the river. Beyond its substantial conference facilities, the resort has an indoor pool, whirlpool, fitness centre and Relâche Spa. Seasonal family programmes and installations add to the atrium's changing calendar.
