National Union Building — Local services in Washington

Came here for the Dare to Do brunch hosted by Powerful Women Make Power Moves, and basically just discovered a hidden gem!! Usually, I’m terrified of parking in dc ( I’ve had horrible experiences) but this location had plenty of street parking available....literally in front of the door !! It’s also located like two steps away from the metro and there’s plenty of parking garages within a 1 block radius.

The space is beautiful!!!! It had a very vintage, chic, and classy vibe. There’s no need to overdevorate because the building has very nice little attributes and finishing touches like stylish wall mouldings here and beautiful chandeliers there ... ( I attend a lot of events... the little stuff matters ).

The room that the brunch was held somehow worked into a kitchen also and it was PERFECT, it seemed that it made it easier to store and replenish food for the event staff. Also the building staff were super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They were super attentive at the desk downstairs and very polite while we were in the waiting area before the event started. I’d give them five stars just for being involved and attentive.

I definitely see myself renting this building for my own use in the future because it’s located near everything..... Shops, food, metro, Madame toussads, barre....everything!! Like this is the...

Accessibility Audit:

The ramp shown was out when we arrived, and the door was propped open fully. Nobody requested this in advance, so it was nice to see accessibility as a forethought for once.

The sticker in the window was a nice sign of their commitment to accessibility, but there was no contact number provided if help was needed. This is especially problematic since there seem to be different businesses operating out of this space on an event by event basis or temporarily, so just contacting an event organizer likely wouldn't lead to direct and quick remedy. Fortunately, I had no accessibility issues and didn't need to contact anyone.

I hope they consider adding an on-call accessibility contact number to the window sticker.
