Washington Hilton

Sobre este lugar Washington Hilton

The Washington Hilton has been a landmark on Connecticut Avenue since 1965 — a curved modernist building at the top of Dupont Circle's Connecticut Avenue that has hosted presidential banquets, major political events, and, consistently, the principal headquarters hotel for Capital Pride and DC's major LGBTQ+ advocacy conferences. The Human Rights Campaign annual dinner, the National LGBTQ Task Force's events, and various other major LGBTQ+ gatherings use the Washington Hilton as their venue, giving the hotel a specific institutional relationship with the community that goes beyond a generic welcoming policy. The 1,100-room property is large by Dupont Circle standards — it operates as a convention hotel with ballroom facilities that no boutique property can match — and the Connecticut Avenue location puts guests at the northern end of Dupont Circle, walking distance from the gay bars of 17th Street and the P Street corridor. The hotel's own Connecticut Avenue entrance is a ten-minute walk from JR.'s.
