The 2013 Atlas Summit will be held in the heart of Washington, D.C., at the Capital Hilton Hotel, located at 1001 16th Street NW.

The hotel is located within walking distance of the White House, the Smithsonian, the U.S. Capitol, the National Gallery of Art, the International Spy Musuem, the National Portrait Gallery, Chinatown, and the Verizon Center, a major concert venue. 
 

HOTEL RESERVATIONS

 We have arranged a special rate of $179 per night at the Capital Hilton for any or all of the four nights June 27-June 30, 2013. To reserve a room at the special rate call the Hilton reservation line at 1-800-HILTONS and request the group rate for "The Atlas Society." 

For students and others on a tight budget, we have a limited number of dorm-room accommodations reserved at George Washington University, about 20 minutes by foot from the Capital Hilton.  The dorm accommodations can be reserved via the Atlas Summit EventBrite registration page and cost $212 for five nights June 26-June 30 (students should plan to arrive on the 26th to be able to attend the full-day student program on June 27).
