What to expect in the Capitol Hill and Navy Yard neighborhoods
Capitol Hill hotels sit on tree-lined residential blocks close to the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and Barracks Row on 8th Street SE. The Eastern Market Metro station (Orange, Blue, and Silver lines) is the main transit hub for this area and puts the National Mall about four stops west.
Navy Yard hotels, roughly half a mile south of Eastern Market along New Jersey Avenue SE and First Street SE, trade the historic rowhouse streetscape for newer mixed-use development near Nationals Park and the Anacostia Riverwalk. The Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro station (Green line) serves that cluster. Both neighborhoods are walkable and low-traffic compared to downtown, which makes them practical bases for travelers who want to move around the city on foot or by Metro without paying Penn Quarter prices.
