Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom

This suite at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center has views of the Potomac River. The resort sits on the river's banks at National Harbor, so the water is a defining part of the stay.

The suite has one king bed in the bedroom and a double sofa bed in the living area. It sleeps up to 4 guests, which suits two adults with two children or two couples who don't mind a sofa bed. A free crib is available on request for little ones.

The private bathroom has a separate bathtub and a transfer shower with a height-adjustable showerhead. It also has a grab bar near the toilet (36 inches high) and low-height electrical outlets. Lever door handles, a visual fire alarm and a closed-captioned TV add to the accessibility features. Bathrobes, free toiletries, towels and a hair dryer are provided.

A mandatory nightly resort fee ($28.62 as of April 2026) covers fitness center access, fitness and yoga classes, in-room bottled water, phone calls and pool access. The suite adds a 55-inch smart TV with Netflix, a coffee and tea maker, a refrigerator and limited-hours room service.

The resort is family-friendly, and this suite gives parents a bedroom with a door to close and a separate living area with the sofa bed. Overnight guests can use the Junior Olympic-sized 24-meter indoor pool with a whirlpool, and a riverside sundeck with a kids' splash pad opens in warmer months. Couples can book Relâche Spa, which is for guests 18 and older and requires appointments.

Gaylord National has several options, including Old Hickory for steak and Maryland seafood, Harbor Social for sports and duckpin bowling, Potomac District Café & Market in the atrium, and the buffet at Pienza Marketplace. The rooftop Replay at Pose Lounge is for guests 21 and older after 9 PM and is open Monday to Saturday evenings. In-suite room service runs limited hours.

Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM. You can buy guaranteed Early Check-In at 10 a.m. or Late Check-Out at 2 p.m. as a paid enhancement for an existing reservation, subject to availability. The front desk is open 24 hours, but there is no after-hours check-in, so tell the resort ahead if you will arrive very late.

The resort has no airport shuttle, so arrange a taxi or rideshare. Reagan National Airport (DCA) is roughly a 15 to 30 minute drive. Parking is not free: self-parking and valet both carry a fee that is subject to change. A local circulator links the resort with MGM National Harbor and Tanger Outlets.

In-room Wi-Fi is complimentary for loyalty-program members who book direct. Otherwise it is a paid extra, around $6.99 a day for wireless. The resort is fully cashless and takes cards at the front desk, restaurants, shops and parking. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome without a fee.

National Harbor's waterfront promenade, shops and restaurants are about 0.3 miles away. The National Children's Museum is roughly 1,200 feet from the resort. The Capital Wheel is a short drive away and open daily, typically 10 AM to 10 PM. A seasonal water taxi runs to Old Town Alexandria, The Wharf and Georgetown.
