And where it’s always time to make of your own mark in history! Since the English landed in Virginia and Maryland colonies during he early 1600s, boatloads of adventurous people began making a point of stopping in the area, which is below the fall line. The regional settlements of Alexandria, Accokeek and Occoquon began hosting groups for their meetings long before the American Revolution. Since 1790s, Washington has taken the lead in accommodating important groups, large and small. Let’s just say, the District has a long history of accommodating groups and hosting meetings...consider Washington as an ideal location for your next conference or gathering. You have found a great place to bring your group, we have the parameters to accommodate most any size organization, business or family...add to that, the entertainment and recreational possibilities for all ages! For instance, one group - the PGA considers its time at the President’s Cup, which rotates between one of the many prime golf locations, as a family stop...a great opportunity for the golfers and their wives to bring the kids for a weeks worth of relaxation, fun, education and history! Many others agree, including the country’s Presidents who always hosts meetings here...from planning sessions to World Summits with the heads of several countries.

Value - Washington, D.C., on the whole, is a very good value...rates vary per season but the weather is pretty fair all year long. Access to the area is easy, being located on the interstate highway system, with direct Amtrak rail service and within a few minutes of major air carriers at Reagan National. The convenience of being adjacent to a major airline hub at Dulles also limits the need for extravagant transportation fees...giving you savings when and where you need it.

We also can provide some unique offerings such as a show at the Kennedy Center or Ford’s Theatre, or perhaps a private tour of Mount Vernon... George Washington himself may show up for this one! And of course we can plan events, meals and trips for your group at any of the area parks and venues as well as other historic locales. Recreation - A day of Golf...or a Sail down the Potomac to the Chesapeake Bay or a Boat Tour of the Potomac waterfront...Tennis or Spa outings...a special day at the Race Track , tickets to a professional Basketball Game or other regional sporting events...you name it, we can pull it together for your group.
