Celebrate America’s 250th at DC’s Most Iconic Hotel
All eyes are on the nation’s capital as we gear up to celebrate the historic 250th Semiquincentennial in 2026 and there’s no better place to celebrate that DC’s historic Mayflower hotel!
When you reserve your stay at The Mayflower, you are reserving your spot in DC’s historic 2026 summer, rich with unforgettable moments to meet and explore our incredible city. From the impressive “Star Spangled Banner” flag that inspired our national anthem on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History to viewing the documents that established these United States at the National Archives, there is only one city that produce these pivotal moments in US history: Washington, DC.
Not only will guests get to experience all the events and fanfare our city is preparing for the 250th, but they will do so while staying in the hotel that celebrated its centennial year in 2025. For over 100 years, The Mayflower has stood on Connecticut Avenue, a beacon of DC and US history. It was at The Mayflower, in room 776 that President Roosevelt wrote one of the most famous lines in U.S. political history, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” It was at The Mayflower where Harry Colmery, World War I veteran and former commander of the American Legion, drafted the first version of the Serviceman’s Readjustment Act or GI Bill on hotel letterhead in room 570 and it is only at The Mayflower where guests can have a front row seat as we celebrate 250.
Whether your 2026 itinerary to Washington, DC is for business or pleasure, we ensure that your time at The Mayflower will be exactly like nothing else.
