The most prestigious event space in WASHINGTON, DC Capitol View at 400 is the city's newest and most distinctive rooftop venue, offering spectacular views of the United States Capitol, the Washington Monument, and Union Station, among other sights. This rooftop even has a compass binnacle, which is typical of a ship's deck. It is equipped with a retractable canopy, heating and air conditioning, which allows you to host your special event all year long in complete comfort and convenience. From Capitol View at 400, you can take in a breathtaking view of Washington, D.C. IN THE HEART OF WASHINGTON, THE CAPITOL VIEW AT 400 IS WASHINGTON'S PREMIER ROOFTOP VENUE, FEATURING SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL, UNION STATION, AND THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The COMPASS BINNACLE ON THE ROOFTOP COMPLETES THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS ROOFTOP. The Capitol View at 400 hosted its first event on January 3, 2013, and it was a spectacular success. A beautiful reception for 250 guests was held despite freezing temperatures outside (the temperature outside was 30 degrees). On this cold winter night, the views looking out over the city were absolutely breathtaking. Throughout the evening, the guests were treated to a memorable evening of jazz music, which marked the beginning of a new season in Washington, D.C. It was in May of 2011 that the design for this new rooftop began, and it began with a gravel roof that was similar in appearance to the other tower at this location. The building, which is located at 400 – 444 North Capitol Street, NW in the heart of Capitol Hill, can be reached by public transportation. When the building was constructed, its owners wanted to provide visitors with a chance to take in one of the most spectacular views of the nation's capital. There are only a handful of rooftop venues in Washington that provide spectacular views, and each one is unique in its own way. From Union Station, we have a panoramic view that stretches 300 degrees across the city, taking in the Library of Congress, the Capitol Dome, and the Washington Monument. And anyone who has been to Washington knows that the view is even more spectacular as the sun sets and the monuments come to life with illumination. From this vantage point, you have the impression that you can reach out and touch the sky, taking in all of Washington's splendor and wonder.
