  1. I would like to pay the hotel charges for one of your guests with my credit card, but I won't be at the hotel in person; is there a way I can pay with my credit card for someone else's reservation?

    Yes, you can pay for their charges, but you will need to fax a Hotel Harrington Credit Card Authorization Form to the hotel in advance in order to do so. Click here to access the form you will need to complete and fax back to us.

  2. Someone who won't be with me on this trip wants to pay for my hotel charges; is there a process by which their credit card can be used to pay my hotel bill for me?

    Yes, a third-party can arrange to pay for your hotel charges, but they will need to fax a Hotel Harrington Credit Card Authorization Form to the hotel in advance in order to do so. Click here to access the form they will need to complete and fax back to us.

  3. If I am driving my car to Washington D.C., is there a place to park at the hotel?

    Yes. Although the parking garage immediately next door to the hotel is undergoing extensive renovation, we have a terrific underground parking garage available just four blocks from the hotel. And since you almost never need to use your car once you arrive, it is an easy, pleasant walk from the hotel to the garage and back. The cost is a flat $16.00 per day and will be added to your hotel bill. Parking includes unlimited in & out privileges and is valid until 4 PM on the day of your check-out. There is a height restriction of 6'. This is more than enough for all production mini-vans, as long as you don't have a luggage carrier strapped to the roof. For visitors with taller vehicles than this, the parking garage at Union Station (one mile away, but on the subway line) has a garage with nearly unlimited height capability. And for your convenience, we have a special loading zone directly in front of the hotel entrance for your use while registering and unloading your luggage.

  4. I would like to leave my car in your parking garage after I check out to see some more sights before I leave town. Will there be an additional charge?

    Not if you plan to remove your car from the garage before 4 PM on the day of your check-out. After 4 PM you will be charged directly by the parking garage for whatever additional time you use.

  5. I see from your information page that check in at the hotel is not until after 4 PM. My flight arrives at 9 in the morning and I will have a lot of luggage. Do you have a baggage room I can use until my room is ready?

    Absolutely. Just see the Bellman on duty when you arrive and he will issue a claim ticket and store your luggage until you return. But first, be sure to check in with the front desk upon arrival ..... if the room reserved for your stay was not occupied the evening before, you will have the option of an early check in and, of course, there is no additional charge for this service if it is available.

  6. Can I also use the luggage storage room if I have already checked out of the hotel but my flight isn't until much later that day?

    Again, absolutely. Many of our guests have schedules that do not coincide with our check in and check out times. But the luggage storage room is available for your use 24 hours per day, so don't worry about where to store your things until you are ready to leave town ..... we'll take good care of them for you so you can continue to enjoy the sights.

  7. If all reservations require a credit card guarantee, what is the cancellation policy? And will my credit card be charged when I make my reservation?

    Your credit card account will not be charged when you make your reservation. We will use your number for guarantee purposes only. No charges will be posted to your account unless you are a "No Show" on the arrival date of your reservation. If you find you will not be able to use your reservation as planned, please notify the hotel no later than 24 hours prior to your planned arrival so we can put your room back into inventory. If you find you need to cancel, using either our website's cancellation button or our toll-free number, be sure to retain the cancellation number you will receive in case a problem develops at a later time.

  8. Do all your rooms have private baths?

    While this is not a frequently asked question, it has come up from time to time, and we know it is an important question.  Yes, absolutely, every single one of our guest rooms has a full, private bath, almost all with tub/shower combinations.  Some of our two-room configurations, such as our Deluxe Family Rooms, even have two full bathrooms for added convenience to our guests.
