my understanding is that the gaylord convention center(national harbor) is fully booked for 2 years. i do realize this is in pg county, but it is not that much further from center city than far NY ave, ne.
the next two items in the national harbor build out is the outlet mall, and then the disney(like in walt) complex.
if i owned a hotel company, i would watch that development and figure it into my calculations before building a 1000+ room hotel in center city.
