If you are looking to stay elsewhere, there is a wide array of nearby hotels and many AirBnBs, all within a short walk or car ride. We recommend looking in downtown, Dupont Circle, the West End, or Georgetown - reach out if you need suggestions!





By air: The Washington DC metro area has 3 major airports, Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI). Ronald Reagan National Airport is the most conveniently located to the hotel, just a ten minute car ride from the Mayflower Hotel and other nearby accommodations. The airport is connected to downtown via the metro's yellow line.

The hotel is located in the heart of downtown and does not have a parking lot, but offers valet parking. While convenient, a more affordable option is the garage just around the corner at 1725 DeSales St. Enter on that street, or around the corner on M Street, pull up, and the attendants will park your car for you. It is open 24/7, but note there are no in/out privileges. If you're staying at or near the Maylflower though, you will be able to access all of the wedding activities, the White House, the National Mall, museums, restaurants, pharmacies, coffee shops, clothing stores, parks and more on foot.



You can pay when you pull up, or reserve and pay ahead of time on SpotHero and show the confirmation when you exit. Please see the below link to reserve your spot or check out other nearby parking garages in the area.
