About Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. is located on the north bank of the Potomac River and is bordered by the states of Virginia and Maryland. As the seat of the U.S. Government, it is the home of the president, senators, U.S. representatives, and ambassadors and representatives from nearly every country in the world. It is an intriguing city and also a beautiful one with abundant open spaces and parks, and an absence of high rises in the vicinity of the national mall due to the building height restrictions. Be sure to plan time before or after the meeting to experience the many treasures Washington, D.C. offers. Most of the sites below are easily accessible via Metrorail. The Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan stop is right outside the hotel on Connecticut Avenue (escalator and stair entrances).
Washington, D.C. offers an extraordinary variety of sights and activities for attendees. For information, visit: Destination D.C.
