Hotels

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. If you reserve a room for 4 people is 229,4/night (plus taxes) so 57,35 per person (plus taxes), but there are two double beds, not 4 beds.

State Plaza Hotel

The State Plaza Hotel is located just three blocks away from the Marvin Center. Basic amenities are offered, including free wireless Internet access. Breakfast costs an extra $12/day. Two people can share a room at no additional cost, but there is a $20/night fee for triple occupancy.

The room rate for Wikimania 2012 attendees is $149/night ($170.61/night with 14.5% hotel tax) if you book before June 1. Between June 1-14, the rate is $159/night ($182.06), and between June 15-30, the rate is $169/night ($193.51).

Note that you may be able to get a cheaper rate if you book directly through the State Plaza Hotel website. If you can get a cheaper rate, do it that way, since the Wikimania conference is not affected one way or another.

St. Gregory Hotel

This very nice boutique hotel is only a 15 minute walk from the conference site, and you are still located close to Dupont Circle. The rate is $149.00 ($170.61/night with 14.5% hotel tax) until June 30th for single or double occupancy. Breakfast not included.

Kimpton Helix / Rouge

Stay at either one of these two boutique Kimpton hotels with a rate of $149.00 ($170.61/night with 14.5% hotel tax). The rate includes continental breakfast. Expect to walk 25 minutes to the conference site (very safe walk, flat terrain). Or take a cab (or share) for $10.00 each way and you'll still come out saving money. You are situated very close (10 minute walk) to the Dupont Circle Hotel, which is the hub of all after-conference activities.

Room sharing

You can now stay at the State Plaza Hotel for only $95/night, including breakfast and Internet, if you sign up through Wikimedia DC to be paired with a roommate. Fill out this form if you are interested.
