If you’re gearing up for your next round of the upcoming Washington DC Conventions this year, why not choose a small property for your lodging? American Guest House is in the ideal location near the central Washington DC Convention and conference centers. While these large-scale properties offer lodging options, there’s something special about staying at a smaller, locally-owned bed and breakfast to make your stay stand out and be as comfortable as possible.
The three major convention centers are the Washington Hilton, the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and the Omni Shoreham Hotel. Washington DC continues to be a leader for businesses and industries of all varieties to host meetings and conferences, ranking as one of the top three destinations in the country. This is mainly due to the city being named one of the first LEED Platinum Cities in the World by the US Green Building Council because of its environmentally forward practices.
For those who travel for business multiple times (or more) a year, it can become tiresome and routine. If you want to make a change and mix it up from the norm, choose American Guest House as your lodging option. We’re close to the majority of the Washington DC conventions but set back a bit from the crowded major hotel chains. You can spend your free time away from the other convention goers, and it is an ideal way to refresh between meetings and lectures. Book your upcoming convention lodging today!
Washington DC Conventions: All You Need to Know for 2025
While there may have been a lull in tourism and convention attendees due to the pandemic, Washington DC appears to be back on track, with millions of visitors coming each year, either for business or pleasure. This uptick in travel is fantastic for many reasons, including supporting local small businesses. Much of the draw to the Nation’s Capital is the long list of annual events, Washington DC conventions, and state-of-the-art centers where these meetings are held.
The majority of the local conventions are held at three conference centers. The Walter E. Washington Convention Center is a premier facility offering a wide range of spaces and services to accommodate various events. The Omni Shoreham is near Rock Creek Park and offers a sprawling campus for meetings and groups.
