ANCOR is back in the heart of Capitol Hill for this year’s Policy Summit & Hill Day. The venue for this year’s Summit is the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, which is only a few blocks away from the Capitol and the offices of your elected officials.
ANCOR has secured a discounted room rate for participants in the 2025 Policy Summit of $365/night plus applicable taxes and fees for single- and double-occupancy rates. Access the ANCOR Room Block and secure your stay today! The ANCOR Room Block ends August 11, 2025.
Getting to Washington, DC
The closest airport is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and we recommend flying into DCA as it’s only five miles from the Summit venue and accessible by taxi, rideshare service (e.g., Lyft or Uber) or public transit (i.e., Metrorail Blue and Red Lines).
Other area airports include Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), which is about 30 miles from the Summit venue, and Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport (BWI), which is about 35 miles from the Summit venue.
For those located in East Coast cities served by Amtrak, you may find traveling by train to be the most efficient and affordable option. Amtrak serves Washington’s Union Station, which is a seven-minute walk from the Summit venue.
Getting Around Washington, DC
If you fly into DCA, taxis are available, as are rideshare services like Uber and Lyft. The cost of these options depends on level of service and time of day.
Metrorail, the D.C. area’s subway system, is also a convenient option for travelers flying into Washington National Airport.
From the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Station, you can either take the Blue Line in the direction of Downtown Largo or the Yellow Line in the direction of Mt. Vernon Square/7th Street/Convention Center. For either option, transfer to the Red Line at Metro Center Station and board a Red Line train in the direction of Glenmont. Get off at Union Station. From there, the Summit venue is a 0.4-mile walk along E Street NW.
As any Washingtonian will tell you, you should check Metro’s operating status before deciding to use this option. The system tends to be efficient and reliable, but track work or other delays can make for a long trip.
