| About National Harbor |
From the moment you first set foot at National Harbor you know this place is different.
In a region rich with signature monuments and iconic destinations, the nation's capital is now home to a defining project that flanks the city with a plethora of entertainment, upscale living, artistry, shopping, food and fun.
Standing with the mighty Potomac River before you, National Harbor is a 300-acre, mixed-used development that includes tree-lined promenades with retail and class-A office space, a marina, thousands of residential units and the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, the largest such facility on the East Coast.
For residents and visitors, National Harbor offers excellent dining and shopping, signature festivals and events, as well as thousands of homes within steps of the water. Two of the four piers are 700-ft.-long structures accommodating large concerts, dinner cruises, light shows and other outdoor events. Water taxis serve Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown and Mount Vernon.
