Hotel Activities

Renowned as one of the most celebrated events of the British summer social and sporting season, Royal Ascot spans five spectacular days of world-class horse racing, high fashion, pageantry, and exceptional cuisine. Guests at Fairmont’s Royal Ascot Garden Party will enjoy a similarly refined experience.

Kick off the holiday weekend with a lively Chesapeake seafood boil in the Fairmont's Courtyard. Fresh seafood, coastal flavors, and chilled summer drinks create a relaxed evening gathering beneath the warm Washington sky.

Before viewing the fireworks, savor a classic American backyard barbecue in the Courtyard Garden. Seasonal dishes, refreshing cocktails, and the easy spirit of summer bring guests together for an Independence Day celebration that feels both festive and welcoming. The fireworks finale is walkable from the hotel, to view at the Georgetown Waterfront.

Enjoy a healthy and modern weekend brunch with seating available inside or al fresco in the lush courtyard. A genuine Georgetown daytime table, rooted in seasonal ingredients and unhurried hospitality. 

Buzzy yet cozy, our Lobby Lounge sets the tone for D.C. locals and travelers to mingle over American bar food classics as they sip champagne, cocktails or coffee. An artful and glamorous setting, the Lobby Lounge is the perfect place to enjoy a curated menu of crafted signature cocktails and world-class wines paired with contemporary small plates and snacks.

Open seasonally from April through October, the Courtyard Bar is known for one of Washington D.C.'s most extensive gin programs, coastal small bites including oysters, crab cake, and shrimp cocktail, plus a courtyard setting with fire pits and greenery.
