Accommodations

The AHA has reserved substantial blocks of rooms at four hotels: the Marriott Wardman Park, the Omni Shoreham, the Hilton Washington, and the Capital Hilton. The hotels are located in northwest Washington, near the Adams Morgan neighborhood and Dupont Circle.

The Marriott Wardman Park (http://www.wardmanpark.com; 202-328-2000), located at 2660 Woodley Road, N.W., will serve as headquarters and will house the AHA book exhibits, Job Register, and AHA and affiliate sessions. The Omni Shoreham (http://www.omnihotels.com; 202-234-0700), at 2500 Calvert Street, N.W., will serve as co-headquarters and will accommodate AHA sessions and affiliate events. The rear entrance of the Marriott on Calvert Street is directly across the street from the Omni Shoreham. The Hilton Washington (http://www.hilton.com; 202-483-3000), located at 1919 Connecticut Avenue N.W., will accommodate AHA and affiliate sessions. A free shuttle will operate every 15 minutes from the Hilton Washington to the Marriott and Omni hotels. The Capital Hilton (http://www.capital.hilton.com; 202-393-1000), 1001 16th Street N.W., will provide additional (and lower-cost) accommodations for attendees.

Rates at the Marriott, Omni, and Hilton Washington are $99 single and $119 double. Special rates have been negotiated with the Capital Hilton, $79 single and $119 double, for cost-conscious attendees such as students. It should be noted though that the hotel is a subway, bus, or taxi ride from the other hotels. The additional person charge at all hotels is $30.

All rooms are subject to city and state occupancy taxes of 14.5 percent per room, per night. Rates are in effect three days before the meeting dates (that is, from January 5), and are for a limited number of rooms only at each property.
