About this Location

Facility Overview

The parking facility at 3800 Reservoir Rd NW serves the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and the Georgetown University Medical Center campus in the historic Burleith and Georgetown neighborhoods of Northwest Washington, DC. Built to support medical appointments, patient visitation, university operations, and campus guests, this multi-level underground and structured parking facility provides direct, weather-protected access to main clinical buildings, including the Verstandig Pavilion, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Pasquerilla Healthcare Center. The facility easily accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and compact-to-midsize SUVs. Drivers of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or rooftop-box-equipped vehicles should be cautious of standard parking garage height clearances (typically posted between 6 feet 6 inches and 6 feet 8 inches at garage entrances).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Patients and scheduled visitors should bring their parking ticket inside the medical center, as clinical desks and patient concierges provide validated or discounted parking rates. Mid-morning hours often see the highest visitor turnover; arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to appointments ensures sufficient time to locate a space, pay at the walk-up kiosk, and navigate the hospital corridors. Remember to photograph your parking level, pillar letter, and elevator bank before heading to your appointment, as the expansive medical layout can make levels look uniform upon return.
