Getting there
5 km (3.1 mi) to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
2.9 km (1.8 mi) out from the middle of Washington — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Washington has 128 venues mapped in total and a population of 702,250. The Washington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
