36th USAEE/ IAEE North American Conference

AREA ATTRACTIONS AND HOTEL OVERVIEW

Washington, D.C. is inspiring. As the Nation’s Capital, it is home to the President of the United States as well as many of the 500 plus members of Congress who not only work but live in the city. The city bustles with government activity. Much of Washington is concentrated around the National Mall (park). To the east of the Mall is the Capitol, lining both sides are the Smithsonian Institute’s museums, to the north is the White House, to the west is the Lincoln Memorial, to the south is the Jefferson Memorial…all of these spectacular sites are within short metro distance from our conference venue, the Hilton Crystal City..

The Crystal City hotel is located next to Reagan National Airport, within walking distance of the Metrorail, which puts you within steps of the national monuments, government agencies and museums. Complimentary shuttle is available daily to/from the airport, metro station, nearby shops, restaurants and businesses.
