WHERE IT’S AT…
Washington DC Grand Hyatt - our home away from home for the 2009 Convention.
Convention attendees, you’ll always have something to do during your free time!
The Hyatt is within walking distance to several DC national attractions, delicious restaurants and off-the beaten path destinations - not to mention several Metro lines. In fact the metro stop for the hotel “METRO CENTER” (on the red, blue and orange lines) will lead you right to the hotel’s lower lobby!
