CoStar Group's headquarters is in Washington, DC. Three airports serve the DC area — and Metro reaches some campuses. Which you pick decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting CoStar Group's HQ in Washington, DC (1331 L St NW): stay in the downtown Washington, DC area near the office. Stay in downtown DC near CoStar Group — the core is walkable and Metro-connected, so most downtown hotels put you within a short walk or ride of the office. Reagan National is 15 minutes out by Metro; you won't need a car in the city. Reagan National (DCA) is the closest — about 15 minutes and a straight Metro ride into downtown — and the default for domestic trips. Baltimore (BWI) ~45 minutes north often has the cheapest fares (a Southwest hub), and Dulles (IAD) ~40 west carries the long-haul and international routes. DCA for most downtown trips.
