NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.
Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center unveiled its new waterfront venue, RiverView Ballroom, on Friday, May 12, during an intimate opening ceremony in National Harbor, Md. The 16,000-square-foot ballroom will welcome corporate meetings and social functions for groups in the Capital Region.
The RiverView Ballroom is being dubbed the Washington, D.C. area’s first infinity ballroom, as guests will feel as if they are floating on top of the Potomac River. The venue was also constructed to provide column-free, unobstructed panoramic views from its 270-degree, floor-to-ceiling windows.
The contemporary waterfront ballroom in National Harbor is designed to provide event-goers their own private venue outside of Gaylord National’s main meeting hub.
The ballroom comes equipped with modern technology, custom menu experiences and scenic views.
On top of its 16,000 square feet of meeting space, the ballroom also provides two outdoor terraces equaling more than 10,000 square feet of space. These terraces offer even more versatility for guests.
When it comes to food, planners can choose from new, interactive menu experiences designed around fresh, local fare with a focus on sustainability. Gaylord National’s executive chef curated themed menus that include Penang and Malaysian, Cuban, Southern Barbeque and Chesapeake Bay flavors—all of which offer expert culinarians and mixologists to assist attendees in making their own dining creations.
With the addition of RiverView Ballroom, Gaylord National now offers five ballrooms and more than 600,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor flexible meeting space—maintaining the resort’s claim to meetings fame as the largest non-gaming resort and convention center on the East Coast.
