A retreat is meant to be a relaxing event, but that doesn't mean you have to escape the city. Urban oases of peace exist in many places, including top DC hotels. Hotel Zena, a Viceroy Urban Retreat space offers over 3,700 square feet of space with floor-to-ceiling windows and bar service. Located in the very heart of Washington, D.C., your urban retreat attendees will be just steps away from restaurants, the National Mall, and other amenities.
Retreats focused on wellness like yoga and meditation retreats can be held at studios dedicated to these arts. Yoga and
fitness studios offer spaces for classes that go by the hour or day. Multiple day events can also be held here with a bit of planning.
A little ways from downtown, you can find homes and churches that act as retreat centers. Washington Retreat House is a Catholic retreat center that's open for workshops, conferences and other special events. The venue has multiple spaces available, including a chapel, conference room, and library. Overnight guests can stay in one of 52 private bedrooms, making it a convenient place for long retreats where you'll be hosting out-of-town visitors.
