Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s vibrant Dupont Circle and West End corridor, the parking facility at Residence Inn Washington, DC / Dupont Circle (2120 P St NW) offers secure, professionally managed parking in an exceptionally walkable urban enclave. The facility serves hotel guests, regional commuters, embassy visitors, and leisure travelers exploring the nation\'s capital. The parking layout accommodates standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs with ease. Due to urban garage structural dimensions and clearance constraints (typically around 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 6 inches), drivers of oversized vehicles, high-roof conversion vans, dual-rear-wheel trucks, and vehicles with rooftop cargo boxes are advised to seek open-air alternatives nearby or check with valet attendants upon arrival.

Visitor & Driver Tips
P Street NW is one-way heading westbound, so plan your approach route accordingly—navigating via 21st Street NW or 22nd Street NW is typically the smoothest way to reach the entrance. Because Dupont Circle experiences heavy commuter volumes during weekday morning (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening rush hours (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM), allow extra transit time if traveling toward downtown or across the Potomac River. For guaranteed entry and best available rates, drivers are encouraged to reserve parking in advance using digital platforms or verify overnight valet parking directly through the front desk when booking hotel accommodations.
