Hilton Garden Inn Washington D.C./U.S. Capitol - A NoMa district hotel with ballroom space, indoor pool, and Eastern Seaboard dining

Located in the emerging NoMa neighborhood, this 3-star Washington hotel occupies a spot among redeveloped historic buildings like the Hecht's Warehouse. The property features Todd Gray's Watershed restaurant specializing in Eastern Seaboard cuisine, including New England Clam Chowder and Virginia oyster po-boys. The Hilton Garden Inn's lobby showcases a two-story window wall and a blue-tiled fountain feature. Guest rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, refrigerators, and both WiFi and wired internet access. A second-floor ballroom accommodates 300 guests in theater-style seating, divisible into three smaller conference spaces. The property maintains a 24-hour business center, fitness facility, and indoor pool. Four meeting rooms and the Pavilion Pantry provide additional amenities. Situated one metro stop from Union Station, the hotel stands less than two miles from the National Portrait Gallery and National Postal Museum.

Pros

Custom catering services available for events

Pet-friendly accommodations

EV charging stations on-site

Valet parking with in/out privileges

Cons

Airport shuttle service not available

Self-parking not offered on premises

“With a location near Union Station and a distinctive lobby, this property stands out for its convenient location and design. I noted the blend of regional cuisine, offering Southwestern and West African flavors, which is unexpected. Its ballroom and varied room types should appeal to event planners and families alike.”

super stay!

friendly staff great security helpful team
The front desk staff, including lyle, ella, paul, and shamar, were very friendly and helpful!!! the restaurant staff during the morning buffet were super nice and more than happy to help mo and mili. i appreciate the security the hotel provided at 9 pm. They locked the lobby doors, and you can enter using your key.
i had a very slight issue as there was no place to put my own shower items in the shower, with only a small shelf close to the bottom.

Adequate Stay near Capitol Hill

food option supermarket harris teeter union station door insulation locking system door soundproofing
The hotel is near Union Station and the US Capitol. The Noma Metro station is close. I found several food and drink options nearby , including a Harris Teeter supermarket.
The room I stayed in had a door to the next room. I found it odd. There were two locking systems on the door , . The door could have been better insulated for sound.
