The Wharf: DC’s Newest Neighbourhood

Opened in October 2017, The Wharf is a brand-new recreational development on Washington DC’s iconic waterfront, bringing new hotels, more than 20 vibrant retail outlets and enviable entertainment facilities to the city shoreline. Enjoy a meal at several restaurants from some of DC’s most renowned chefs, followed by a show at the massive new music venue, The Anthem, or smaller clubs like Pearl Street Warehouse and Union Stage. Explore more than 10 acres of parkland, four public piers, or rent a bike from one of the neighbourhood’s four Capital Bikeshare stations to further explore the city.

Not all is new at The Wharf. The Maine Avenue Fish Market is the oldest continuously operating open-air fish market in the US and a true DC landmark. Visitors can enjoy fresh or cooked seafood, including the region’s famous blue crabs, oysters, clams, shrimp, and fish, from a variety of seafood barges. Restoration of the Market will include a new distillery, market hall and retail additions.


We have updated our Hip and Historic’ itinerary to include this new development with 7 nights from just £1407 per person including flights, car hire and accommodation!
