Facility Overview
The Hyatt Place parking facility, located at 501 4th St SW, is a premium parking asset serving the vibrant Southwest Waterfront district of Washington, DC. This facility primarily functions as a controlled garage environment associated with the Hyatt Place hotel, offering secure, sheltered parking that protects vehicles from the elements. Due to the enclosed nature of the structure, drivers should be aware of standard vertical clearance height restrictions typical of urban hotel garages, making it ideal for sedans, standard SUVs, and crossovers. High-roof commercial vans or vehicles with oversized roof racks may need to verify clearance before entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers should plan to arrive early if visiting during high-attendance events at The Wharf or nearby Arena Stage, as surrounding street traffic can become dense. We highly recommend booking your spot in advance if a digital platform is available to guarantee entry. Always double-check your clearance height for roof-mounted equipment before entering the garage. If using GPS, ensure you are directed to the 4th St SW entrance to avoid confusing nearby alleyway access points.
