What’s in store
Three days you won’t forget
The NFL Draft has evolved into one of football’s biggest spectacles — and DC’s setting takes it to another level entirely.
Live draft stage with Capitol views
Watch picks announced live on a massive stage framed by the U.S. Capitol — one of the most dramatic backdrops in sports history.
NFL Draft Experience — free fan festival
Hands-on activities, player appearances, interactive games, and football-themed entertainment spread across the Mall — free and open to all.
Concerts and live entertainment
Multi-night concerts and performances are planned as part of the official Draft Week programming across the District.
DC’s monuments as your backdrop
The Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Smithsonian museums are all within the event footprint — history and football in one unforgettable weekend.
Why vacation rentals win
Skip the hotel. Stay like a local.
With 1 million fans descending on DC, hotel rooms will be scarce, expensive, and far from the action. A Home Sweet City rental puts you in a real DC neighborhood with the space and flexibility to make the most of your weekend.
🚶
Walking distance to the draft
Our Capitol Hill and Shaw properties put you minutes from the main stage — no shuttles, no surge pricing, no stress.
🏠
Room to spread out
Full living rooms, kitchens, and multiple bedrooms — perfect for groups and families attending together.
💰
Better value for groups
Split one rental among 4–8 guests and pay a fraction of what multiple hotel rooms would cost during peak event week.
🍳
Full kitchen included
Pre-game breakfasts, late-night snacks — cook in and save. No need to battle restaurant crowds every morning.
