The Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center is located at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. There are three main points of entry if you are arriving by foot or by rideshare. The main entrance is on the west side of the building on 14th Street NW (this is also where the entrance to the parking garage is located). There is also an entrance from Woodrow Wilson Plaza, on the east side of the building behind the Federal Triangle metro station. There is also a side entrance on D Street NW and 13 1/2 Street NW, below Pennsylvania.
Please note that the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center is a government building, and there is a requirement that guests go through a standard security screening upon entry (i.e., metal detector and x-ray machine). Please plan accordingly, and we thank you for your patience when entering the building.
Parking is available both at the church and the reception venue. The Church has both street parking and a parking lot across the street. The Ronald Reagan building has hourly, daily, and overnight rates available. Please note that because it is a government building, your car could be subject to security screening at the Ronald Reagan Building.
All of our hotel room blocks are within walking distance of both the National Press Club and the Ronald Reagan Building, but St. Joseph's Church is about a 10 minute drive away. We recommend that guests use rideshare (Uber/Lyft) to travel to the ceremony at the Church and back to the area with the hotels and reception venue following the Mass.
