Facility Overview
The Statesman Garage, managed by LAZ Parking and located at 533 21st St NW, Washington, DC 20006, is a secure, covered, multi-level parking facility situated in the heart of the vibrant Foggy Bottom neighborhood. The garage is designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles; however, prospective parkers should note strict vehicle restrictions. The facility enforces a maximum height clearance of 6 feet 7 inches (with some booking platforms noting 5 feet 11 inches, so caution is advised for tall vehicles). Due to the structural constraints of the facility, 8-15 seater passenger vans and trucks are not permitted. The garage offers a combination of self-park and valet-assist options, particularly during peak hours, to maximize space and ensure efficiency.
