Inauguration in Washington, DC 2025

An event as historic as our hotel.

Since the swearing in of Thomas Jefferson in 1801, Washington, DC has played host to the time-honored tradition of the presidential inauguration. Inauguration is held every four years and symbolizes the peaceful transfer of power as the elected president takes their oath of office from the steps of the Capitol.

Since 1925, The Mayflower Hotel has played host to presidential inaugural events from the swearing in of President Calvin Coolidge through President Ronald Reagan, cementing our hotel as the place to see and be seen.

Our centrally located downtown hotel is just steps away from the National Mall, monuments and all that our historic city has to offer. From balls and galas to the oath of office taken on Monday, January 20th at noon, your stay at The Mayflower for this historic occasion is guaranteed to be exactly like nothing else.
