Disney plans to build a 500-room hotel resort on 15 acres at the ambitious National Harbor development about eight miles south of Washington D.C. in Maryland, the Washington Post reports.

The hotel would be another anchor for National Harbor, which includes a 2,000-room Gaylord National convention center, a Westin, an Aloft and other hotels, shops, restaurants and residential units, the story says. The development also has a full-service marina on the Potomac River, where you can catch a water taxi to Old Town Alexandria.

In a press release, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo praised the National Harbor location as “a family-friendly base camp, from which visitors from around the world can explore the stirring sights and inspirational stories of our nation’s capital.”

Still, National Harbor requires a car to reach the nation’s capital. Other options include taking a cab (about $30) or catching a special shuttle van that runs between Gaylord National and downtown ($13 one way or $20 roundtrip per person).

The Post notes that the National Harbor plan isn’t Disney’s first effort to break into the D.C. area. About 15 years ago, Disney ditched a controversial plans to build a history-themed park called Disney’s America on 3,000 acres near Civil War battle sites in Virginia. The plan had attracted opposition from Civil War historians, politicians, environmentalists and others.
