Facility Overview
The 101 Constitution Ave NW Garage is a premier, climate-controlled indoor parking facility located in the heart of Washington, D.C.\'s historic Capitol Hill neighborhood. This multi-level underground garage provides secure, weather-protected parking, making it an excellent choice for visitors looking to keep their vehicles shielded from the elements. Due to its underground nature, the facility typically features standard vertical clearance suitable for passenger vehicles, standard SUVs, and crossovers; however, large high-roof cargo vans or trucks with oversized roof racks should exercise caution and verify clearance signage upon entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, we recommend using GPS-enabled navigation to locate the specific 2nd St entrance as one-way traffic patterns in D.C. can sometimes complicate entry. During high-profile events at the Capitol or the National Mall, consider pre-booking your spot if available to avoid potential sell-outs. Arriving at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment or event will help you navigate the garage, find the best spot, and account for pedestrian traffic in the area.
