Make plans now to attend the 2008 ALA Annual Conference, Sept. 14-16, at the incredible new Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center on the banks of the Potomac River and just minutes from Washington, D.C.
Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center
Opening in April 2008, the 42-acre Gaylord National features a spectacular, 18-story atrium of glass and steel, 2,000 amenity-laden guestrooms and awe-inspiring, panoramic views of the Potomac River, Old Town Alexandria, Va., and Washington, D.C. True to the Gaylord Hotels tradition, the resort captures the spirit of its location and offers signature restaurants, elegant retail shops, live entertainment and world-class recreation all in one self-contained environment.
National Harbor / Nearby Attractions
Gaylord National is one of the main focal points of National Harbor, a dynamic, 300-acre waterfront destination that incorporates office and residential spaces with retail and entertainment venues and a 64-slip marina. Best of all, National Harbor's world-class shops and restaurants are just a stroll down the boardwalk from the Gaylord National Resort.
The resort is also within close proximity of specialty shops along cobblestone streets in Old Town Alexandria, shopping and entertainment at Union Station, the sights and sounds of exclusive Georgetown, theater and events at The Kennedy Center, shows and sports at Verizon Center, awe-inspiring exhibits at The Smithsonian, national landmarks and the natural beauty of our Nation's Capital.
Plans are even in the making to offer water taxis from National Harbor to Alexandria, Georgetown and Mount Vernon. To take a virtual tour of Washington, D.C., click here.
