Since 1908, the National Press Club has been Washington’s home for news, business and social events in the nation’s capital, hosting more than 2,000 public and private events annually featuring global leaders in media, business, politics, sports and entertainment. Our full-service event venue and conference center provides in-house gourmet catering, professional A/V and multimedia production services and features a variety of in-person and/or virtual events. Nestled in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. between The White House, Washington Monument and Capitol Hill with easy access to Metro, parking and hotels, the National Press Club offers a unique historic setting like no other, and also provides the convenience, value and world-class service you deserve. The National Press Club offers 10 unique and historic event spaces (all on the same floor) that can accommodate professional or social events for up to 1,500 guests at full capacity (entire club). Each room is appointed with rich dark wood and deep blue & gold medallion carpeting which provides an elegant and warm club feel and exudes historic Washington. Each room has a rich history, and your guests will be surrounded by over 100 years of news and media artifacts, including photos of all the famous people who has been here, who's coming next week, and they'll be talking about your event for years to come.
