About Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill, Washington’s oldest neighborhood, lies to the west of Georgetown. In its early days, most residents were members of Congress who lived in boarding houses and dormitories surrounding the Capitol. As the neighborhood evolved, row houses replaced boarding houses, and the Hill transformed into a neighborhood filled with families and Washington’s elite.As you stroll through this stately neighborhood, you might even spot familiar faces from the news. Several senators and representatives reside here. Beyond the U.S. Capitol, the Hill boasts other significant American landmarks, including the U.S. Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station, the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks, the Washington Naval Yard, Congressional Cemetery, Lincoln Park, and the Eastern Market. All these sights are within easy walking distance, and most are accessible via the Metro. Just down the hill from the Capitol lies the National Mall, home to iconic monuments and memorials, as well as over 10 museums and galleries showcasing art and artifacts. To the east of the Capitol, the Eastern Market stands as one of the few remaining merchant markets in Washington. During the week, the market is a bustling hub, but it truly comes alive on weekends. Residents and visitors from all over the city flock to the market to savor breakfast, indulge in fresh meats, produce, and breads, and explore the adjacent flea market. Additionally, the market offers a chance to browse the latest art and jewelry crafted by local artists and artisans. Spring and summer bring an extra treat: a visit to the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks at 8th and I Streets SE allows you to witness the awe-inspiring Marine Corps Silent Drill Team in action. This 24-man rifle platoon performs precision maneuvers with their 10.5 lb M-1 Garand rifles, complete with fixed bayonets. Just a stone’s throw away, the U.S. Capitol boasts a newly opened visitor’s center that offers visitors an unparalleled experience of the Capitol from the ground up. Emancipation Hall houses several state statues, while the museum chronicles the rich history of the U.S. Capitol, from its cornerstone laying in 1789 by George Washington to the present day. Tickets for the Senate and House galleries are conveniently available at this center. Across the street from the Capitol stands the Library of Congress’ Jefferson Building, the world’s largest repository of books and media. Open to the public, this architectural marvel houses breathtaking Renaissance and Classical art.

These and other sites make staying on Capitol Hill an absolute must for anyone visiting Washington, whether for business or pleasure.
