Our conference hotel, Renaissance Mayflower, is a historic hotel located in the heart of the business district of Washington D.C., between White House and DuPont Circle, only one block from the nearest metro station. Nicknamed the "Grande Dame of Washington" at its opening in 1925, it has hosted the U.S. Presidential inaugural ball of Calvin Coolidge and it has been used by U.S. Presidents ever since. You can read more about the history of the Mayflower hotel at Wikipedia and at the Historic Hotels of America webpage.
There is a limited block of rooms set aside on a first-come first-serve basis at the Renaissance Mayflower offering conference attendees a special rate of $209.00 per night (single/double) if you use the group code. Please read the hotel reservation information below carefully so you can take advantage of this special low rate. Notice: If you spend a Saturday, Thursday, or Friday night in the hotel too, you might get a less expensive rate of $199.00 per night without using the group code.
