Hotels Near the Artisphere (Conference Location, Nov 10th and Nov 11th)
The Palomar Hotel (sold out), Marriott Key Bridge and the Hyatt are all right near the conference venue in Rosslyn, VA.
The Artisphere and the surrounding hotels are right across the Key Bridge, which brings you into Georgetown. You can walk across to a number of restaurants, pubs and boutiques, or cab into the city, depending on the weather. These hotels are also close to the DC Metro system, which will take you anywhere in DC you’d like to go.
