White House / White House Visitor Center
(Attractions & Activities - Historic Sites)
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington  20500 • 202-456-7041
Distance: ~0.99 mi from The Fairmont Washington, D.C.
        Description: No trip to DC would be complete without paying a visit to the stately home of every US President (except George Washington). Tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis for groups of 10 or more. To arrange a tour, contact your Member of Congress two to six months in advance; the exact tour time is then scheduled one month prior to the date requested. If you're unable to secure reservations, check out the White House Visitor Center at the corner of 15th and E Streets (in the Department of Commerce Building). Here, via an informative documentary video, you can tour the White House virtually and view exhibits focusing on the residences of former presidents. METRO: Federal Triangle, Metro Center, McPherson Square
Additional Fairmont Comments: The White House is closed for public tours. School tours, approved in advance, are the only available way to see the White House. The outside is still able to be viewed on foot or by using the Tourmobile National Park Service tram.
