Gaylord Hotels Harbor Resort: A Joyful Getaway

Sometimes getting away for a little respite means traveling with the entire family in tow! Choosing the right place over this holiday season can mean having to find a little something for everyone while at the same time focusing on breathing time just for you.

Gaylord Hotels at National Harbor is located just minutes outside of our nation’s capital and is the perfect getaway for families desiring not to miss out on any of the holiday hustle and bustle.

A beautiful country-like setting situated just minutes from our nation’s capital, the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor has everything you will need for the perfect family get-away. There are restaurants, shops for finding those special last-minute gifts, and for the kids, their very own choo-choo, as in trains, that are just right for boarding. And for the kid bakers in your family, be sure to check out Gingy’s life-size gingerbread house where you and the kids can create your own gingerbread house. There are special helpers on hand to help create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. And you will want to check out the winter wonderland of ICE featuring Shrek.

If relaxation is what you are in need of, be sure to check out Relache Day Spa. Inside the sleek, modern setting of black and white marble, are 12 luxurious treatment rooms, including a couple’s treatment room overlooking the Potomac River. Bliss seekers can choose from a number of the latest treatments and services, including massages, facials, body therapies, and hand and foot therapies. To ease into your spa experience, be sure to arrive early for your appointment to enjoy the co-ed river-view relaxation room as well as the saunas and steam rooms. The men's and women's changing areas have private lockers, showers, relaxation room and personal amenities... everything you will need to make your visit a luxurious "escape" from the everyday.
