National Union Building

Plan your visit

The building is at 918 F Street NW, near Gallery Place-Chinatown and Metro Center stations, with commercial garages nearby. Public access is tied to a ticketed event, invitation, or scheduled venue tour. Confirm the floor, north or south room, check-in point, doors, and age requirement.

Accessibility

The venue does not publish a detailed building-wide accessibility guide. Event materials show elevator access to upper-floor rooms, but guests should contact the organizer before purchase to confirm step-free entry, elevator route, wheelchair seating, accessible restrooms, and drop-off.
