Housing is always one of the first things to consider when you are booking a convention. With more than 28,000 rooms across 114 hotel properties within the district alone, Destination DC offers some of the most encompassing hotel packages in the nation and will adapt a housing plan that fits your needs. Destination DC makes things easier than ever by offering two complete housing reservations services for conventions and meetings using at least 2 hotels in the city. Both Experient and Passkey are industry leaders and can accommodate all of your housing needs.

How does this benefit attendees?

  • Reservations can be made via the Internet, fax, mail or a toll-free reservation number
  • Provides an opportunity to experience a virtual tour of the property via the Internet
  • Written acknowledgement of all reservations, modifications or cancellations via e-mail, fax, or mail

How does the meeting planner benefit?
  • Dedicated staff assists the meeting planner throughout the housing process
  • Opportunity to monitor room block pick-up via the Internet 24-hours a day
  • Ability to link to your registration company

What does the Destination DC staff provide?
  • Assists with the production of a housing form and customized hotel map with the proximity of the hotels participating in the room block
  • Manage and monitor hotel inventories to maximize room block
  • Manage VIPs and sub-blocks
  • Set up an on-site housing desk in Washington, DC
  • Process reservations after the reservation cut-off date
  • Provide final housing reports to the meeting planner and next host city

To assist meeting planners in capturing last minute hotel reservations that are often made after their contracted room blocks are sold out or released back into general hotel inventory, Destination DC has partnered with Advanced Reservations Systems (ARES). ARES is geared specifically toward assisting with last minute requests for reservations and tracks all post cut-off hotel reservations giving the meeting planner a full picture of the total pickup of the group. Most importantly, there is no cost to the meeting planner or attendees for this service.
