The Capitol View at 400

The Capitol View at 400 is Washington’s premier rooftop venue featuring spectacular views of the U.S. Capitol, Union Station and the Washington monument. This rooftop even comes complete with a ship’s compass binnacle. On January 3, 2013, The Capitol View at 400 hosted its first event in dramatic style. With weather outside a chilling 30 degrees, the guests inside enjoyed a beautiful reception for 250 guests. The views looking out on the city on this winter night were extraordinary. All the while, the guests enjoyed a memorable evening listening to jazz and marking the start of a new season in Washington, DC. The design of this new rooftop began in May, 2011 and started with a gravel rooftop similar to the other tower at this location. The building is located at 400 – 444 North Capitol Street, NW in the heart of Capitol Hill. The owners of the building wanted to give visitors an opportunity to view one of the most spectacular views of the Nation’s Capital. There are just a handful of rooftop venues in Washington that offer great views and all of them are different. We are fortunate to have a view that pans 300 degrees from Union Station to the Library of Congress, the Capitol Dome and across to the Washington Monument. And anyone who has visited Washington knows that when the sun sets and the monuments light up the view is even more spectacular. From this vantage point you feel like you can reach out and touch the sky and marvel and the beauty that is Washington!
