A luxury shopping experience

The retail destination takes up several city blocks and features shops like Jo Malone London, Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tiffany, Bulgari, Arc'Teryx and more. CityCenterDC's network of breezeways makes it easy to go from shop to shop on foot (and stop in for a sweet retail refuel at places like Piccolina or Dolcezza Gelato & Coffee). In addition to women’s and men’s clothing boutiques, CityCenterDC also features sleek jewelry at David Yurman and other accessories for the luxury globetrotter at brands like Longchamp and Tumi

 

Refuel on your shopping route

CityCenterDC's dining options provide plenty of perfect ways to cap any kind of shopping day, from a happy hour stop at Fig & Olive or Centrolina to a celebratory dinner at Seven Reasons or Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse. Throughout the year, but especially in the warmer months, you’ll find DC locals and convention-goers catching up with friends in the courtyard or dining al fresco.
