The Dupont Circle Hotel

The Dupont Circle Hotel, located on Dupont Circle at 1500 New Hampshire Avenue NW, is the official hotel for Wikimania 2012 and the hub of our after-conference activities. A fifteen minute walk ($6 cab ride) away from the Marvin Center, the Dupont Circle Hotel includes continental breakfast as well as the most reliable wireless Internet for any D.C. area hotel. Relax and socialize in the Bar Dupont, located within the hotel, or check out the numerous restaurants, coffeeshops, and bookstores located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Enjoy the best of Washington, D.C. while you're not at Wikimania!

The room rate for Wikimania 2012 attendees is $189/night ($216.41/night with 14.5% hotel tax). You must reserve by June 18, 2012. There is no guarantee of availability after that date.

We have accommodations arranged for scholarship recipients at Hostelling International in Chinatown. (1009 11th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001). Due to overwhelming demand, we are only offering beds in the hostel to WMF or chapter scholarship recipients.

Metro

The hostel is located at 11th & K St NW, which is 4 blocks from the McPherson Square metro station (orange/blue line) and take the orange/blue line 2 stops to the Foggy Bottom metro. The hostel is also 4 blocks from the Metro Center (orange/blue/red) and 4 blocks from the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro (red/green/yellow).

An even easier option for getting to GWU is the DC Circulator bus (red bus), which stops at 12th & K by the hostel and 21st & Pennsylvania Avenue by the venue.

It's a 20-minute walk from the hostel to the venue, taking you by the White House.

University dormitories

We are currently looking into reserving university dormitories. We'll keep you posted!

Unofficial lodging options

We do not have any group arrangements with these hostels, so you are responsible for your own reservation, transportation, and meals if you choose one of the following options.

• International House of United Tel, Shaw/Mount Vernon
• Washington International Student Center, Adams Morgan
• DC Trekker, Columbia Heights
• William Penn House, Capitol Hill
• DC Lofty, 2 Locations: Capitol View & Shaw/Mt. Vernon

Room sharing

Lodging costs can be substantially reduced by sharing rooms (usually a room occupied by two people costs the same as one occupied by a single person). Put your name on the list below if you are looking for a room sharing partner.

• If university dormitories are not available, I'll reserve hotel and consider room sharing. --Shujenchang (talk) 15:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC) already reserved hostel. --Shujenchang (talk) 11:29, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
