Quick Verdict: MGM National Harbor vs Conrad Washington, DC

When MGM National Harbor wins: choose MGM if you want a resort experience — gaming, live shows in a 3,000-seat theater, many dining options, a large Clarins spa, and a seasonal rooftop pool with Potomac views.

When Conrad Washington, DC wins: choose Conrad if you want a refined downtown hotel within walking distance of CityCenterDC, the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and easy access to museums and downtown attractions.
